Pre-eclampsia, did you get it again?

Forums New posts
Thank you ladies!

Sethsmummy I know that must really suck seeing him sick. I hope the new rice and milk helps. My daughter lost a lot of weight when she was first born and had jaundice. Even tho it cleared up, she's naturally an itty bitty. But doc said its normal for her and I think she's so cute and dainty. Lol she's really tall too

Agiboma how's your princess??! And same question how's it feel having two kids around to care for? :)

AFM- had contractions 2 to 3 minutes apart last night for an hour and then they'd stop for 30 minutes and start again. These were real bad because it like they were back to back. I didn't go in because they stopped but I'm sure it did something to my cervix! Have nst appt today. Baby has been buzzed last two appts so hopefully he or she will behave today lol my baby likes to be lazy I guess, but still active!
 
I am hoping you lovely ladies can help me. I am kind of freaking out. I will be 16 weeks on Monday so I know its early to develop pre e but I am very concerned for a few reasons. My fingers swell in the morning, my feet are swollen (I do work at a desk for 9 hours a day), my blood pressure has been elevated, I am seeing "stars" and I have headaches almost everyday. They found protein in my urine but haven't said anything else about it. I just want to know what's going on. Any advice or suggestions or something to calm my nerves would be so great. Thank you!
 
ooo MizzPodd i so cant wait for you to have your rainbow baby :cloud9: Thats the same as my first hun.. he was like an orange lol... and now he is tiny compared to his peers at nursery.

LadyinWait - doesn't sound too good to me hun.. sounds like you may have something developing. I would pester midwife/gp about it hun xx
 
I called the office and the nurse told me to check my blood pressure. I did and it was 139/88. I know it's not considered high but it's getting too close for my liking. I called back to give her the results and she called back after speaking with my OB. I was told to drink more fluids, lessen my salt intake, and try to rest when I could. I will do those things but I am not happy with that. I want some tests done and I want peace of mind.
 
just keep pushing them hun and keep an eye on your bp. if that bottom number goes over 90 phone them straight back xx
 
LadyinWait, I would definitely keep a close eye on your bp. In my first pregnancy, my first symptoms were swelling of hands, face, and feet/ankles. Then, I got headaches, saw stars, and got really dizzy. That's when my bp shot up. If your bp hits 140/90 that is when they start to worry. Not sure why they haven't had you do the 24 hr urine sample/ blood tests if you have protein in your urine. Go ahead and up your protein intake, drink TONS of water, and elevate your feet as often as possible! & if you start feeling sick or just unwell in general call them.
 
Ladyinwait the ladies are right! Bug them until they at least run some test! And keep hydrating and elevate those legs :hugs:
With my first pregnancy, around that time I had those problems but was told it was normal, along with a lot of weight gain (I was very active and in the military so the large weight gain made no sense). At 25 weeks they diagnosed with pre e and I was put on bedrest until delivery. So please go with your gut because you don't want to let that go in diagnosed for long if it is pre e or the start of it. I hope you start feeling better! :hugs:

Sethnethansmum thank you! I can't wait either. I had NST and it went good after baby was buzzed again!! Lol I got checked for possible rupture of waters too. One test was positive and one was negative. The tie breaker was negative so I was released but I feel so sick like flu symptoms and just have a feeling baby is on their way I about a week or so!
 
I had severe complications from " borderline pre e" in my last pregnancy. I had severe swelling with my bp always hovering around the normal limits but yet much higher than " my" norm. Well I was induced at 38 weeks and ended up with fluid in my lungs and in icu due to silent pre eclampsia. Keep pushing the docs, they only act when it's too Late sometimes unfortunately...
 
Just wanted to let ya'll know that I am officially the most pregnant I have ever been! :) I had my DS1 at 35 weeks 4 days at 6:24 p.m. Anyway, my bp has kinda been creepin up, but well within normal range.. like 120/78. At this point, I am just thrilled to have made it further with not swelling or other complications. I am hoping I make it to 39, but full term is my goal now! One milestone down! :)
