2nd Trimester

Preeclampsia

Looks like by Friday I will have the official diagnosis...and I'm crapping my pants!  I'm on bed rest until then, which kinda blows since we're super busy at work.  Thankfully my blood pressure isn't very high and I only have minimal swelling to my feet...but still SERIOUS stuff.  Anyone else going through/or have gone through this?

Re: Preeclampsia

  • I have not been diagnosed with pre-e...but throughtout my pregnancy I've had higher bp's.  The worse bp was 150/90, but my Doc has been monitoring the situation.  I've had no swelling or other symptoms.  I'm not going to worry about it until I have an official diagnosis.  I'm hoping (and thinking) that I won't actually develop pre-e.  GL to you! 
  • If you don't mind me aksing, how did they find out you had it?

    I was going to ask the same thing...

  • My doctor mentioned this at my 12 week appt. because I had swelling and a lot of weight gain in 2 weeks. I honestly think I'm permanently swollen a little and I ate like crap for 2 weeks. We'll see what happens in 3 weeks when I go back. GL

  • Good luck with your results. I hope you don't have it.

  • I had pre-e but not until further along in my pg. In the course of about 2 weeks I went from normal to super bloated, bp of 190/116, hospital bedrest, then to HELLP and en emergency c-section to save both my life and my son. I am not trying to scare you but pre-e can be very serious and you need to take as many precautions as possible.
