Gosh...
Hi all,
I just wondered if anyone could help me I'm feeling a little worried today.
About two days ago I started to get very sharp braxton hicks and they didn't hurt at first but then after one evening of it I got it all day but it really started to hurt me- then I got really bad back pains so I called my MW and she told me to pop to my doctors and so I did! I'm 25weeks- so I it's too early for it to be actual labour- right?
The only problem is I went to the docs and the lady was really mean- she didn't check me over like my MW said she would then she done a urine test and she said I had protein in it! I told her my family have a history of pre-eclampsia and she just said don't worry go home! She checked the babies heart beat but it took her over 5mins to find and she said "i think that's a fetal heart beat- oh well" she just didn't seem very helpful.
The problem is today I am back in work but in the most pain ever- I can't pick anything up- I can't blow my nose- It even hurts to drive but I just feel like no one is taking me seriously!
What should I do? Should I just take her word for it and wait for my next appointment with my MW? Or should I be worried about the protein found?! I can't stand the thought of losing this baby! But I can't stand being in so much pain all the time!
Please help- i'm really scared!

You deserve better treatment then that, Ive had a couple of scares during my pregnancy and even though its turned out to be nothing the people Ive dealt with have been great and thats what you deserve.
Dont worry about being a pain or anything, thats what they're there for. Im sure your midwife would prefer to hear from you again even if theres nothing wrong then for you to go on worring and being treated the way you have.
If you dont wanna ring your midwife again call the womens hospital or wait till after hours and call the emergancy doctors-but honestly hun..even if its just to put your own mind at rest-get someone to help you xxxxxx
I'll give them a call now! Feeling really worried, but on the up side I can still feel him kicking about it there, so i guess that's a good sign!
Just hate the amount of pain I am in!
Boo!!!

They will call you in and check you properly. It could be a UTI infection or something that can be treated straight away but don't let it get any worse.

She said she would get me in to see her but she's too busy! Maybe I should just wait and see what happens with my next appointment?!
I might just be wasting the doctors time I guess!

If you have got a UTI it wont clear up on its own and if your in pain with it you need it sorting.

Some times I feel like I am going round and round and round!
I wish my hospital had a drop in section!
So don't let them pacify you, you know your own body and you know when something isnt right. And if all is fine, they should still be doing their jobs properly and putting your mind at rest.
Good luck, keep us updated. xxx
I'm going to call my day assesment unit now!
Just finding the time to go now- I have loads of meetings- oh!!! Too much to worry about now!
Stuff it someone else will have to do them!
I hope your okay now! I think I am 100% going to call them now!
Oh hope he's okay in there!

My oh mum had full blown eclampsia (the fatal bit after the pre eclampsia). She had protein in the urine one week (no high BP) & the next week she was in hospital in a coma after having eclamptic fit and BP over 400, had to have baby delivered by emergency section, she was 29 weeks but both survived.
REALLY don't mean to scare you - it probably a UTI - but please please be checked!
On the other hand I was so worried when i had protein in urine but I turned out to be fine despite a strong family history of pre eclampsia xxx
