preeclampsia

[36andfourthoneontheway]

I'm 36 weeks +2 days, had high blood pressure and trace amounts of protein in urine today at the doc. Was told if its the same next Tues then they are going to go ahead and take the baby! Has anyone else been diagnosed with preeclampsia? I had it with my first born 17 yrs ago and had a really difficult time giving birth and almost died. They let me go two wks past my due date with her though before inducing me. I've never went early and am nervous but trying not to be stressed out. I'm actually 36 now and this is my fourth baby! Oh and I've also been diagnosed with gestational diabetes this time.

All the best to you too...in between Which week

That's great that your doctor was able to early detect it; & preparing the baby to be ready; steroid shots are a breeze; I get those now - (for partial placenta previa) just in case if my placenta detaches my lil one will be ready.I wish you the best of luck

Lung maturity of the baby

Thanks you redd28

I am on bedrest so a smal change in my body worries me..

With your eyes irritating you; becoming watery n itching; do u wear glasses or contacts; I too esperience the same issue with this pregnancy; in reference to having eclamspia comes the blurred vision almost like double vision with white spots; if you ever feel like that - lay on your left side while someone takes your blood pressure- thats a sign before a stroke or ceasure

Next visit doc will give me appointment for steroid shots for lung maturity

I have a unicornate uterus its half the size of normal  uterus
So early delivery

Bed rest is dreadful after a while;; however even with delivering between 32 & 36 weeks great survival rate; might have to stay at the hospital few extra days just in case if that does happen to ensure his lungs are developed & working fine; definitely take it easy & relax (easier said then done I know) well worth it though don't want your body fighting against n causing any harm to you nor baby.

I have eye irritations .,, eyes strt to water on its own n then burns a lil

[Komalk]

I am 26 weeks.. High risk pregnancy

Docs have told i might deliver early 32-36 weeks anytime

In bedrest since start though

[Redd28]

Honestly doesn't sound like eclampsia symptoms- leg cramps are common when pregnant- try eating bananas & drinking more water - for the pain in ribs might just be sensitive due to body changing n baby moving how far along are you?

@redd-28
Hi
I had uti so in that there was protein present in urine
My bp is normal
But feeling pain under my ribs  n leg cramps
Is this pre eclampsia symptoms

I m a bit tensed

[Redd28]

I had full eclamsia started as pre of course; my son was an emergency c section at 27 weeks; a great little fighter; now a healthy 8 year old - my advice is to closely watch symptoms- blurred vision - swelling up - chest pains; I didn't mention any of these of what I was experiencing to my doctor at the time - ended up having two ceasures back to back ; definitely monitor any changes alerting your doctor; can be contained with blood pressure medicine til you have your little one.
