Hi friends,
Definitely been swollen the past few weeks, but this week has been the worst. Feet, hands, even face a little. I have had this nagging feeling that I will develop preeclampsia. I've never had BP problems before pregnancy...but, today, I was at 145/99, and had a little bit of protein in my urine.
I was sent to the lab to have my blood work done to check for HELLP symptoms; we will find out Monday. I was also put on bed rest over the weekend.
Granted, this week at work was probably the most stressful week possible (in the last 7 months); everything that could happen did happen. I'm thinking maybe that's part of the reason my BP was high. And, I had just come from work to the doctor...
I did just check it at home, and it was around 150/84, which is better but not great.
Anyone else have this at 32 weeks? It's too early...I'm terrified for my baby - I just don't want her to suffer.
