Pre-eclampsia, did you get it again?

[bumpsmum]

oh Hun I'd at least call the maternity suite for advice if your OB Is off today even just for peace of mind xx

 

[MizzPodd]

Sumday I'm with bumpsmum on this... Call in if you are able to. I'm the type that won't self diagnose and go in to keep my sanity! hope your swelling gets better soon

 

[sumday3]

I called thanks girls! They're going to have me see the on call ob this afternoon. I'm sure it's just fine, I'm one of those gals that doesn't want to call because i'm sure they're actually dealing with people that really need their help. But I felt to icky to wait it out-another week of feeling like this seems like it will be an eternity.

 

[MizzPodd]

You r one who has a real issue! Pre e is serious so you r very smart for calling

 

[bumpsmum]

hoping its just pregnancy swelling and nothing more sinister but better safe than sorry Hun x

Wonder how sethsmummy is getting on with her new bubba x

 

[MizzPodd]

I know! I can't wait to hear from her!!!
You seem better bumpsmum

Sumday how was your appt?

 

[bumpsmum]

I FEEL better thanks lol trying to feel more positive about things it's not cast in stone after all that he will need to come very early third time lucky I guess, maybe this is my chance to have a full pregnancy ( well 37/38 weeks) however long they'll leave me.

I'm putting all my mental energy into the house move but trying to take it easy physically just in case xx

Sumday how was your appt?

I was going to update when I got home, and just crashed! Well 6lbs of fluid since 2/18- and I've been exercising 4-5x's weekly so feel confident in knowing that's what it is- urine okay thank goodness! have to go back in next week for random blood pressure check, their just going to monitor. Seems it's likely just good ole pregnancy swelling! Gosh I just wish it would've come on a little more gradually than all at once!

Thank you ladies for your concern and advice!

[Agiboma]

bp going up not sure if i should go to triage hands and feet swollen boooo 156/84, what do you guys think?

 

[Torres]

Agi - can you check your bp again? Maybe it was a one off thing?
How is your swelling? Is it pitting at all? If so, you need to be seen.
If I were you, I would go in just in case. Could be nothing, could be the onset of pre-e. Only way to know is to get checked out.
Keep us posted and good luck!
