Are you having any visual disturbances, like seeing spots or blurred vision? Do you feel lightheaded? Have you noticed any swelling or puffiness in your face or hands?

If any of those applies to you, I would go ahead and get to the ER. You could have preeclampsia or toxemia, and immediate care is very important for your health and the health of your baby.

Even if you're not experiencing those symptoms, you might want to go ahead and call the OB or midwife on call at your practice. They could at least talk to you and let you know if they think you should go in. Severe headaches can be a very dangerous sign during late pregnancy, so it's probably best that you at least check with the doctor on the phone.

GET YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKED! GO TO THE HOSPITAL NOW!

dont worry drink a glass of fresh juice and say your night prayers and sleep...

still bad like she said call the emergency numbers..
hope some one can take u to hospital..

take some salt .......

Have your blood presure checked, it may be that. For now, take some baby asprin and rest.

im glad that you took the initiative to call ur ob/gyn because it is possible that you may have pregnancy induced hypertension, which is very serious........

I don't want to scare you; but it's probably very high blood pressure which can cause toxemia. I would go to an ER if I were you.
