no one has ever had preeclampsia before

Question below is being ignored.... Hoping it's because no one has the answer. :0/

I have high protein with this pregnancy but no signs of high bp and my swelling is very mild but my Dr is keeping close eye on me because I had preeclampsia with my first born and she came at 35 weeks emergency csection because she was in distress. Dr is wanting to start me on steroid shots for the baby's lungs to mature faster and then do scheduled csection at 36 weeks. I'm also going to a specialist high risk Dr every 4 weeks, I'm 31 weeks now. I would like to keep the baby in to at least 37 weeks but we'll see. Good luck to you.

You are far enough along that your baby will be just fine if you are induced :) and if you DO have preeclampsia, then it would be much better to have him out than in!

Signs like high blood pressure and protein in your urine and edema will be present in increasing amount. If you are going to regular checkups, the Dr will begin to monitor for fetal distress, at which point c section could be indicated, but usually with preeclampsia I believe they will try to induce labor early if baby isn't in distress, because if your body gets toxic, it can get life threatening to you as well. If you have a diagnosis of preeclampsia, you definitely want to be following Drs orders and getting to the hospital if you think anything is wrong.

Yep me too, with less than two weeks left, getting induced on the second of March... I'm halfway hoping it's there and they induced tomorrow lol!

I got it with my first 9 years ago about 7 month pregnant.  I was I and out of the hospital and did a lot if 24 hour urine collection.  Luckily it never got bad and was controlled enough until I was induced at 39 weeks. I'm now 31 weeks pregnant with high blood pressure and have a high chance of getting again.  So far I've on had a +1 of protein once other times just traces. I'm just being watched closely and more Dr. Appointments.

I haven't been thus nervous for doctor visit since first ultrasound!!

[TheeMothership]

Was it detected all along or at the very end???

[Mrs_MP3]

I did...induced at 38 weeks.

[sweetvegetable]

My sister had it. It led to c section at 37 weeks as baby was in distress.

[TheeMothership]

Luckily I'm at 38 weeks, I was at 42 weeks when I got it with my first born.

[aishas88]

I had preeclampsia at 31 weeks bp was stroke level 180's over 100 protein in my urine got induced at 33 weeks which ended in emergency c section

[TheeMothership]

My bp has been higher but still within good range and they did find traces of protein... My feet have been instantly swollen for two days waiting until my appointment tomorrow, I'm torn because I want him out but I'd rather it happen for healthy reasons...

Yes i had preeclampsia  with my daughter  and was induced at 36 weeks mu blood pressure was really high and i had protein in my urine.
