Half expecting I’m about to be told something bad.

Looks like they're just trying to rule out a DVT and keeping an eye on your BP, presumably to monitor for pre eclampsia. Best of luck!

I agree with Loren, looks like they’re being thorough and trying to rule out DVT, which is good. Easier said than done but try not to worry and see how you go on today. If you do have DVT, they’ll act really quickly and if they were really worried, I don’t think they’d have let you leave or they’d have called you back ASAP after blood results. Hang in there mama, stay positive. Good luck x

Ruling out a DVT. They.may prescribed blood thinners if there is one. Nothing to worry about. Also looks like monitering for pre eclampsia xx

I’ve got a useless doctor again. They are refusing to scan me and want me to go home on blood thinners until a new scan can be arranged. I’ve kicked off so hard there is no way I’m stabbing myself. I’ve had to fight so hard to get here and now I’m being fobbed off again. I just want to cry I’m in so much pain and she said unless I have a stroke they are not doing the scan today even though I’ve been told I need it

How many weeks are you? I’m an older pregnant lady i.e. over 35, so they have me on two types of blood thinner; aspirin until week 36 (I’ll be week 35 tomorrow) and enoxaparin injection until birth of baby. I admit that the injections suck, but they are to ensure good supply of placental blood to baby, and current standard practice. I’ve had so many injections, so just do them albeit slightly begrudgingly because these ones sting. If it keeps baby healthy, then I just get on with it. Hope that comforts you that the injections won’t harm baby xx

@Davina I don’t think they will harm baby I just can’t mentally do them myself and husband doesn’t really feel comfortable doing it either. I’m 33 weeks. I’m on aspirin too. Everyone is telling me I need to be seen asap yet whenever I’m here it’s a different excuse to not do something. I’m on the verge of going to the other hospital because they are just not listening to me. My husband has arranged childcare for our son staring in the next 10 mins so he can then be with me and is ready to kick some butts into action

You will get used to the injections they're not too bad, I did 6 weeks after our daughter. You could need them regardless of the results of the scan and if there is no alternative to the injection then you will need to do them. I agree though that they do try and fob you off and more so at weekends sometimes. We had a rubbish experience this week at our local hospital when I had severe abdominal pain and I only agreed to leave based on an emergency scan the next day which never happened because I was due a scan this Monday. If they'd said that I'd have refused to leave.

They’ve promised me a scan tomorrow morning. Husband is doing jab tonight and they will do the morning one when I get here as husband is so scared of doing it. I’m definitely going to be reporting it as the doctor hadn’t even read my notes and was clueless on several questions about how to administer the injection so my husband knows what he’s doing

Honestly, I’ve found it better to do myself as someone else can’t feel when they hit a vein or when the stuff is stinging. I do put an ice pack on the area for a few minutes beforehand. My partner is so squeamish, he wouldn’t be able to help me, so not really an alternative. Can’t say that I’ve had amazing care from my GP or local hospitals during this time which is such a shame. I know they’re under pressure, but they also put us under pressure and responsibility. I have GD, and the diabetes nurse was giving me a hard time over the only reading that is above threshold; my morning fasting blood glucose reading. I said that it’s only 0.1-0.3 over the threshold and I didn’t want to have insulin, at least not yet. She told me that the 0.1-0.3 wouldn’t hurt me, but would and could hurt my baby, and lead to stillbirth! Who says that to a pregnant lady???
