Jen my daughter is 32 weeks pregnant, she phoned me this morning complaining of a head ache that has lasted for 4 days now. She had also just spent the last hour throwing up into the sink. I told her to phone her midwife or doctor which she did. They told her to go to the local hospital for a check up at 3pm. Its now almost 5pm and Ive not heard anything. She isnt at home and her mobile is turned off. UPDATE: Panic over. Jen has just phoned, they put her on a monitor for half an hour, all fine there. Blood pressure up slightly but not enough to worry about. Glucose in urine, but again not enough to worry about. So Dr has put it down to a migraine. Jen hasnt suffered from one for a long long time, but Doc told her that they can come back in late pregnancy. Will hang on to that phone number I think its going to come in very handy.

Call the hospital. Best of luck. I had pre-eclampsia and it all turned out OK.

please dont paninc (easier said than done!!) maybe you can jump in the car/bus/cab and go to the hospital??? is it near you?? xx

Can't you phone the hospital, they will speak to you I'm sure,after all you are her mother. Stupid of me to say it, but try not to worry too much. Deanna X

Try not to worry too much Margaret (I know, easier said than done) but hospitals do keep you waiting around ages, and it's really difficult when you have to keep your mobile turned off. Mandy x

Oh Margaret! Try not to worry, she's at the local hospital which is the best place for her. I hope you hear from her soon. Helenxx

As the girls have said don't worry too much (which I know is easier said than done). For your own peace of mind phone the hospital, you're her mom they'll give you some info Margaret. Keep us posted Magi

Thanks everyone, but you know something I havnt a clue where the hospital is or what its called. Jen lives in Bedford and Im in Doncaster. I dont know if they have a seperate maternity hospital or if she has gone to the general one. Sorry to sound so thick, but Ive never had any need to know this before.

I would imagine she has gone to the main Bedford Hospital. would you like the number to ring? Bedford General Hospital 01234 355122 Kempston Rd Bedford MK42 9DJ I belive the Maternity bit is called the CYgnet wing, but dont quote that - just ask for maternity...and let us know. message me if there is anything i can do , i'm not too far from Bedford Jess

I'm so glad it's not too serious! xx

Hi Margaret, I am so glad everything is OK, Migraines can be very frighting, this weather doesn't help, take care, now you go and chill out, or you will end up with a migraine with all this worrying lol.....Lilly

Margaret Glad everything is Ok Jan x

I am so pleased for her, and you. Not that she had a migraine............been there, done that. They are not at all pleasant, poor girl, but she and the baby are fine. Thank goodness for that. Deanna (((((x))))))
