Any moms here ever have preeclampsia? If so, could you explain it to me? Like what it is, how dangerous is it, is there…

Yes it really dangerous delivery is the cure for that

@nichols41418, oh jeez :/ I'm trying to stay off of google but my midwife didn't tell me much about it other than i was getting tested for it today

It's associated with high blood pressure and protein in ur urine I believe they can also do a blood test to check for it as well

Have u had high blood pressure

@nichols41418, they did both blood work and a urine test. And my blood pressure was higher than normal, I gained weight rapidly in a week, everything was swollen, my vision has been blurry and I had headaches so she tested me. I find out tomorrow

Not to scare you but can be very dangerous. Can xause mother to stroke out if the blood pressure gets too high. Only cure is delivery.

@mandy890, oh jeez. I'm hoping I don't have it but my midwife didn't really explain much about it either

As long as they monitor you they will keep you safe. A lot of the times mom ends up being induced. Youll be okay 😀

@mandy890, well if I get induced I'll be ok with it cuz I'm 39 weeks tomorrow. I'm just shocked bc they're noticing it so late in pregnancy

A lot of time that's usually when it shows up. It's not common early on in pregnancy.

@mandy890, true
