Well done for using your gut feeling, i too knew i was feeling really down for the first 6 months, i was told by my doctor blood tests were fine, saw a midwife, she checked al my results and said i hope your eating lots of red meat and green veg and taking iron aswell as drinking orange juice as your iron level is very low and so is your blood pressure?

Since then i have done all that feel better cope better and blood tests were really good,

Dont let it get you down some docs are A holes just well off A holes Lol

Take care babe

oh tell me bout it doll its quite rare but you can get pre-eclampsia after bubs is born as i did but doc told me when mw sent me up there for bp double checking he told me that 185 over 101 was fine for blood pressure after bubs was born what a d.i.c.k eh.x

I had my lucozade GTT last Friday,  on Tuesday I got a call from the GP surgery, the Dr I spoke to said that my level was a bit high but not to worry, that I didn't have to do anything.

I wasn't completely convinced by this so I rang my mw today to discuss it with her and it turns out that it is too high and I do have to go to hospital for the full glucose test as I may have gestational diabetes.

I am really annoyed with the GP as they led me to believe that everything was fine, if I hadn't phoned the mw then who knows what problems I could of had? All I can say is thank you for my fabulous mw who knows what she is doing!
