A&E visit at 5am

Hey Everyone

I woke up in the middle of the night with chest pains, I used my GTN spray and took some gaviscon but nothing worked so I called Dan who was at work and he drove me up to A&E I've been here since 5am, blood pressure is higher than it has been (pregnancy actually lowered my BP) I've had 3 lots of blood tests and and ECG, the listened to the Olive's (Olive is our nickname for the bump) heartbeat and it sounds strong so they aren't too worried about Olive, but I am waiting on an emergency ultrasound

My battery is low so I can't message much.

I'll update you when I can

Bummer, but let's hope every thing is OK! Well done for Dan for taking you to A&E. Better to be checked out than not!

Oh dear, that's not a pleasant way to wake in the night. Sending you lots of love, 💖 I hope you get all the tests you need without waiting too long. You're in the best place for them to sort out what's going on. Olive is a cute nickname - is it because you like olives?

No it's because when we found out I was pregnant the baby was the size of an olive.

Oh no, sorry to hear that, but I'm glad Dan took you to the hospital and that Olives heartbeat is good and strong. Hoping you get the blood results quickly as possible and that it's nothing serious. Got everything crossed for both of you 🤞🙏 x

Hope all well, Looking forward to a positive update post 🙏
