3rd Trimester

Worried about preeclampsia

I plan to talk to my doctor at my apt next week, but I am just curious as to what you guys think. I have been have a lot of headaches, medicine makes them go away most of the time, my back has been bothering me(has throught second tri till now) and I feel nauseas again all the time. I also get these weird random episodes of feeling extremely nervous, but I'm not nervous about anything? Any thoughts?

  • When I had pre-e I was super swollen... Everywhere!
  • If you are having regular headaches, please get your blood pressure checked.  
    First we had you.

  • Headaches are a possible symptom but I'm guessing if meds make them go away then no. My DH has high blood pressure and before they figured it out no meds would make his headaches go away. Can you get your bp checked somewhere a home one, or a store if you can't get to the doc?

    If your concerned I would mention it but it sounds like normal pregnancy symptoms. Have you increased/decreased your caffeine intake? During pregnancy I was extra sensitive to headaches.


  • I was out of town a couple weeks ago and started to get extremely swollen everywhere and I was getting headaches a lot so of course I was worried. I went to go get my blood pressure checked, which was completely normal, and I called my doctor. It put my mind at ease. Once I got home, everything went back to normal. The best option you have is talking to your doctor.. Like you said!
