Should I ring my midwife?

This is a bit all over the place, sorry. I have a serious headache and need reassuring.

I went this morning to do my pee test and have my blood pressure taken. Blood pressure was 110/60 so normal but mine has never been over 90/50. I am 34w1d so she wasn't worried. Pee test showed low levels of proteins but because my blood pressure was fine I was sent on my way.

I was talking to a friend a bit later, moaning about my headache, when she asked about pre-eclampsia because apparently I have the symptoms of it.

I have headaches, pretty bad swelling of my ankles, feet, hands. I also get these weird light flashes which I thought were just happening because I'm so tired all the time. My forehead and chin also get a bit swollen and sooo itchy it's ridiculous. The top of my bump/just under my ribs hurts all the time but that's probably because Lentil constantly has his/her butt stuck under there...?

Idk. Should I smack my friend for making me worry or should I call my midwife?

fears and worries, swelling/edema, vision issues, headaches, blood pressure
