So I just got the call from my Dr telling me I have preclampsia. I have an appt on Monday For a check up and to talk about what this means for the rest of my pregnancy. Does anyone have any experience with this?

    Yuppers, I was diagnosed with preeclampsia at 27 weeks... I've been bedridden since, and in and out of the hospital 4 separate times after being admitted for a week a piece. I'm now 35 weeks. Trust me when I say it's not easy, you will go stir crazy with bordem, and it seems like you live at your doctors office. BUT, the less stress you have, the more you rest and stay hydrated, and let people help you, keeping your LO in longer is possible. Goals: lower your BP (with meds and naturally), keep swelling down with Epsom salt baths and elevation and minimal standing, stay hydrated. Good luck mama.

    Thank you! I haven't been put on bed rest but I have cut back on work. I haven't really had any symptoms yet. I'm mostly anxious about what this means for delivery. My birth experience with dd was a nightmare and I was hoping for an easier time this time.
