Possible preclampsia?!!

in July 2015 Moms
Today I'm 37 weeks.. Went to the doctors and she said that there's some protein in my urine, she asked how long my feet have een this swollen and checked my blood pressure twice and said she wanted me back tomorrow to check my bp again since it was higher than it's ever been.. I'm kind of scared because I've never had high bp or any concerns throughout my whole pregnancy.. Hoping everything's okay.. Has Anyone experienced these symptoms before?

    I'm 35 weeks. No protein but severe swelling and high BP yesterday. They are checking me weekly. It happens though. You did nothing wrong and you couldn't have prevented it. If they see fit, they will induce you. Or they may assign bed rest. Just depends on the doctor.

    This happened with my first pregnancy. Everything was fine right up until 37 weeks when my BP started to rise. I was induced at 38 weeks for preeclampsia.

    They should have u do a 24 hr urine and see you twice weekly at least. I asked to be induced but the protein levels from my 24 hr urine were only borderline preeclampsia. They put me on home bedrest and my blood pressure has dropped. Wish you luck! At least it is the home stretch now and baby should be good to go if you do need to be induced

    I developed preeclampsia when I was pregnant with my first. I would get super light headed randomly throughout the day which is a sign of high blood pressure and my legs and feet started to retain a lot of water.. The day they planned on inducing me my water broke. Just try to take it easy and if you start feeling like you may pass out or something call your doctor right away.

    I've had sort of similar issues. Once I was put on bed rest, my BP has been mostly good. That may be your solution. Otherwise, they will likely induce you early. I'm also 37 weeks. My issues started about two weeks ago. You're in the home stretch now!!

    I just got diagnosed with it this last week at 36 weeks and so they are inducing me in 2 weeks, I'm just grateful my baby will be full term , you will be ok , especially this late in the game :)
