Possibly. Every pregnancy is different though. They'll monitor your blood pressure at your doctor appts. Pre eclampsia usually shows up later in pregnancy.

Try and cut back on salt, drink more water, and sleep on your left side. My doc told me sleeping on the left helps the kidneys kick off water. And drinking more water flushes the salt out

Tea and coffee and soda are horrible for the baby in large quantity way to much caffeine and sugar, and tell him you can't have all that salt

My feet are swollen  and im goin on 13 weeks but my blood pressure has been higher than my norm. Have you checked yours lately? And are you eating alot of foods high in salt? Both of those will affect how swollen you are.

Do u drink much water? Drink more water and cut back on your sodium that's really early to have swelling
