Anyone else with preeclampsia?

Found out my higher BP and protein in my urine means I have mild preeclampsia.  Anyone else going through this?  I have an ultrasound and non-stress test tomorrow morning, then doc appts twice a week to check me. 

Will this mean I will deliver earlier than my due date?  I am a bit worried, they said the baby is doing great, and I'm not swelling or having any other symptoms....

    I am currently going through some tests for this...I have some really bad swelling in my feet and ankles, and some traces of protein in my urine, but my blood pressure has consistently been great, low if anything, so they aren't sure.  I am at the two appointments a week for right now too, and LO is strong and healthy.  From what my doctor told me, if they think it's serious enough, they will have to decide whether it's safer for the baby to stay "inside" or for the baby to be delivered a little early.  My thought is that if you only have mild pre-eclampsia, they will want you to just take it easy and try and ride it out, depending on how far along you are.

    i had it with my last pregnancy and just stayed on bedrest until i went into labor.  it probably isn't too bad if you aren't swelling.  i puffed up like a marshmallow peep.
