Should I go to the hospital?

31 weeks pregnant with my first baby. Been experiencing headaches the last 2 mornings and noticed intense swelling in my hands this past week, hard to bend my fingers. Also baby hasn’t been moving as much in the last 2 days, should I go to the hospital? Am I overthinking/ overreacting?

Go get checked out

Definitely get checked out, give your maternity triage a call. They’ll probably want to check your blood pressure and do some other tests. Good luck

Call triage, get checked out!

Sounds like preeclampsia, go to the hospital

Definitely go in, better to be overthinking and get it checked out than something going wrong god forbid.

Yep, this was around the time I started developing preeclampsia but had less noticeable symptoms than this! Go in

I would go for the decreased movement. However I had preeclampsia and never had headaches but you should try taking Tylenol. If the Tylenol doesn’t help the headache, then that’s a red flag but if it does it’s likely just a normal part of pregnancy

Sounds like preeclampsia that can be dangerous for you and baby. You need to go and get checked out.

Go and get checked, don’t take no for an answer. I started experiencing this at 34 weeks and was seeing stars, told my midwives and they kept fobbing me off. I got to 39 weeks and was admitted and induced due to preeclampsia coming at any time which then ended up in me having an emergency c section and nearly dying x
