I'm glad I called my doctor today. I'm kinda scared I could have it.

developed preeclampsia at the end of my pregnancy and was induced at 38w.

okay, that's one of the main symptoms. but that sucks. hope it goes well for you on your next appointment! @dawn.sander also swelling is another main one.

@mommytodelmar, she said my urine sample that day looked fine but protein in my urine isnt unusual for me cause I have a kidney disease so she said she cant really go by that.

Well that would probably be a good idea. Stay away from sodium and drink lots of water! Good luck

Do they check your urine also for protein in it? @dawn.sander

@turtle, Ive been to the doctor and she wants me to keep a chart of my blood pressure until my next appointment (next monday) cause she thinks I may have it.

I thought so too, but I am a ftm and honestly didn't know a thing about what was going on but I had all the symptoms of preeclampsia, I asked her multiple times about it and she blew me off or said "you don't have protein in your urine" and found out my urine was +3 they said and I was so swelled up that I could leave dents on my legs and feet and hands. I had it bad and she didn't bother to check at all. I was glad I went somewhere else @youngg.mommyy

You should probably go to the doctor if you're sure it's that.

that's honestly so dumb, you could've had a stillborn -___-

my doctor said it makes the placenta go bad which causes the miscarriage. @mommytodelmar

sorry.. that's just what I experienced. I had it since 36 weeks and my doctor didn't do anything until I went somewhere else and talked to someone else. they induced me at 39+5 @youngg.mommyy

they have to induce you with preeclampsia because it can actually cause a miscarriage.

i know someone that had their baby at six months because of it... @mommytodelmar

It's not as bad as the internet says, just swell up bad, high blood pressure, and if they have to, they'll induce you. Well that's what happened with me.

I had severe preeclampsia with my twins and I will have it with this pregnancy also I'm here to chat

i was diagnosed with it at 36wks
