Okay, so I have been swelling terribly, seeing spots, blood pressure is high, the whole 9 yards, but I don't have protein in my urine so my doctor told me if my face starts to swell (not just a little but a lot) to come see her. So I just woke up and I looked like a chipmunk...would you call your doctor?

You: "My face is swollen"
This seems like a no-brainer to me.
I'm not new. I just hate The Bump.
This crap is serious people!! This is why women die during child birth!! Please call and follow through.
The only reason I was unsure was because I woke up and my face was swollen, but it went down. The nurse at the clinic didn't think she would send me to L&D because it went down, but my doctor didn't want to take any chances.
