Hi girls, Ive had an eventful 24 hours, so thought Id update you.
Some of you already know that my BP has been rising, luckily I have low BP normally so I managed to remain within 'normal' range, although I would say abnormal for me.
Last night at about 11 I got some pain right across the top of my bump and I was sick too. I remembered the midwife mentioning some kind of gastric pain as a symptom to look out for so decided to ring the ward to just check. They said to come in just so they could check my BP and baby's heart beat etc...
I dragged OH out of bed and we drove there. After about 2 and a half hours of sitting in the triage room they decided to admit me. My BP was 135 over 80, I had small amount of protein in my urine and i was still feeling sick. They did a trace and I was having some cracking braxton hicks although I wasnt bothered by them I think they just decided to play it safe.
Got a bed at around 2am. And fell straight to sleep, only to be woken up at 6.10am as the nurses put 2 of the girls on the ward on traces and left the volume up.
Noone came to see me til 10am when they put me on anther trace. I wasnt feeling any of the sickness or pain anymore, my BP was about the same. And my bloods taken the night before werent back. So they said wait to see the consultant and see what she says.
I had my BP taken again at about 2pm, and it had dropped to 120/80.
Consultant came to see me at half 3 and basically said if I feel better I can go home. I asked how my blood were so she went off and came back and said fine. Then I asked if she was happy with my rise in BP and she basically said that as long as community midwife was checking weekly she was happy to discharge me back to midwifery led care. 
It all felt like a gigantic waste of time to be honest, if Id gone to bed I think the pains wouldve faded and I wouldve been fine by this morning.
I cant begin to describe how bored Ive been today. The tele wasnt on and all the girls in the ward were being induced and trying to sleep so I didnt want to disturb them by turning it on, I know they need their energy. My phone had no signal and I didnt have any of my stuff. I couldve gone for a walk but as I was in really scruffy smelly clothes and I work at the hospital I didnt really want to leave the ward!
When I did get out I was waiting for OH to pick me up and flicked through my notes, found the blood test results. Ive had low levels of; Red Blood Cells, PCV (but this is normal in pregnancy) low albumin, low total protein and low urea.
I wish she hadnt just said 'fine' but actually told me that these were low but she isnt concerned cos now i just think she didnt look at them. So obviously Im on google looking now 
Ooh Im into my long threads these days, sorry!
