After having a quiet morning waiting for James to wake up I then decided to start organising and putting away Bubble's presents. After going through around 4 presents I noticed that my vision in the bottom left corner of my eye wasn't there. After having a migraine before I was quite sure it would be another so I took 2 panadol, however, it doesn't help when my Dr has said 'if you get blurred vision or headaches then call us because it could be related to my blood pressure'. I went to bed but when closing my eyes had some pretty zigzag bright lines on the left side. After messaging with Jens I decided to get the confidence to call up labour ward (on the weekends this is the place to call, during the week I just call my dr's office). James was out at coffee so I didn't want to call him and interrupt his conversations. I was teary because I didn't want to get a migraine, I didn't want to go into hospital, I didn't want something to be wrong, but I was brave and called up. They said it would be good to go in, just to be safe. I called Jens and mentioned that I was to go in and James was out for coffee so maybe could she drive me, but then we both thought I should call James and let him know and give him the choice. James of course chose to come and get me straight away. We drove to the hospital and walked up to delivery. James then went to park the car on the road (he knows me so well - we were joking that my high bp would be because of the expensive parking rates).
They put the heart monitor on my tummy to see that Bubble was ok and I had to push a button each time Bubble moved. It was interesting to see the heart rate increase each time there was a movement. Bubble was fine. The midwife then took my blood pressure and said that it was up a bit. She called my dr to fill him in and he said that he wanted me to get blood tests. The lady who took the bloods was lovely. Then we waited, and waited and waited. 2 hours later a midwife came in with some lunch which I was very appreciative of - I was very hungry! We had turned off the light and just had the tv on. My headache had started but was not as bad and my vision was mostly better, still a bit hard to read messages on my phone/facebook. After 30 more mins she came in and said that the bloods were fine, Booker thinks that it was a migraine and I just needed to rest up. So that was good news overall. And that is what I've been doing. I wish that I could put away and organise more presents, but I am being good. My head is still a bit sensitive at times but my vision is back to normal. Hopefully tomorrow I shall be all better and my head will be fine without the migraine hangover kicking in.
Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. Hopefully the next 4 weeks will be uneventful.
