Has anyone on here had Preeclampsia ? How far along were you ? Swelling is normal during pregnancy but when is it considered too much ? Before pregnancy ive always been a little swollen in the ankles and feet , cant tell if it got worse .

My dr has checked every visit so far. I would ask if they are doing it or if not if they can do it. My dr started from my very first prenatal visit and im going to be 18weeks tomorrow

I had preeclampsyia around 35 weeks had to do an emergency c-section  but baby was perfectly fine and is now 2 years old. Ive always had a problem with high blood pressure during pregnancy only so they keep a pretty close eye on things.

My mom had it when she was pregnant with me towards the end. The dr induced her two weeks early for that. My dr checks every visit and hasnt said anything. Im sure ur dr does too and u can always ask them but if they dont say nothing its usually good news. But i heat a lot of people get it more towards the end. So i would ur dr what signs to look far just in case.
