Preeclampsia question

Grovecenter

I pretty much am resting on the couch most of the day and eat a healthy diet of fruits and veggies and no junk stuff. This week I have now been putting on a pound every day for the past week. I'm gonna call my ob in the morning, but wanted to know if anyone had the same w preeclampsia or something else?

Yes. Same here. I had only gained six pounds up until 31 weeks. Then I was diagnosed with preeclampsia and I gained five pounds in one week. Now I'm gaining about 2 pounds per week.

What did the dr give you or recommend?

With pre-e you gain a TON of water weight at the end. I was enormous and quite puffy (face, legs) with my first but it almost all went away directly after birth from my body retaining so much water. This may be what's going on?

How far along are you? I gained 5lbs between week 21 & 22, and freaked. I later read its normal to jump up during that time. How is your blood pressure?

I gained at least 10 pounds the few weeks before I was diagnosed with Pre-E, but was also super puffy...my hands and face, along with my legs, got really swollen a few days before my doc appointment, when they figured out I had it.  When I went home a week after the birth of my son, I weighed 25 lbs, almost 30, less than when I was admitted to the hospital, and I think most of that was water weight...
