Re: Preeclampsia Symptoms

  • It could be gas pain, but I'm not a doctor. Call your OB, it can't hurt. Good luck.

  • What did your doctor say when you called them?
  • Random pains are not a sign of preeclampsia. Actual signs are:
    • Significant swelling.
    • Severe headaches.
    • Protein in your urine.
    • Decreased urine output. 
    • Dizziness.
    • Excessive vomiting and nausea.
    • Vision changes.
    • High blood pressure.
    I was being monitored for preeclampsia with my first as I had a lot of swelling and marginally high blood pressure. I never developed it, but I did have hypertension. 
    It can't hurt to call you Dr, but I think it is probabaly nothing.

  • They thought I might have developed preeclampsia at 37 weeks pregnant with twins. I was swelling, had headaches, high blood pressure, vision problems. I was sent to do a 24 hour collection of my urine to be tested. Turns out I didn't have it. Call your Dr, but it just might be gas.
  • The pressure you're feeling in your ribs could be from your organs being pushed upwards from your growing LO.
  • I've seen that other people have pain in that same area on this forum, right below the bra line. Think I've seen it on a daily symptoms thread, maybe even two different ones. It could be a normal pregnancy pain but of course call your nurse/ OB if your concerned.
  • Right upper quadrant pain or pain under the right breast is a possible sign of pre eclampsia. I'm a labor and delivery nurse and that's one of the symptoms we ask every patient because it could be a sign of liver inflammation or like everyone else said it could be nothing. Better to check with the doctor
