I've never gotten this far (31 weeks) in a "normal and healthy" pregnancy - so I am unclear as to what is normal versus something I should call my doctor about.
Little background: I've been diagnosed with PIH this pregnancy (preg-induced hypertension) and I'm on meds for that. I have a history HELLP syndrome in previous pregnancy.'
Sooooo.... I woke up in the middle of the night last night with extreme nausea. I didn't eat anything weird or do anything unusual. In addition to the close-to-vomiting feeling, I had a band of discomfort around my upper abdomen and mid-back. This band felt crampy/gassy/uncomfortable. I do have a bit of fullness in my upper right quadrant, but not like when I had HELLP previously and this area felt painful. It doesn't feel painful right now, just 'full'.
So I've been up all night with this discomfort. A shower didn't help, eating didn't help. My blood pressure was 154/97 - which I know is high for most, but my doctor said my "call-in" number is 160/100 - so I'm not quite there yet.
So... does this sort of nausea and discomfort sound familiar to anyone? Is this typical (or normal) for the third trimester?
BTW... baby seems to be moving fine, no bleeding, no contractions.
Thanks in advance for sharing your opinions and/or experiences!!
