Has anyone on here ever experienced preeclampsia? Today my blood pressure was a little high and…

I did with my daughter almost 8 yrs ago...went to my doctors appt and my blood pressure was up so she sent mi to L&D where they kept mi..I had to do that 24 hr urine collection and that's when they learned I was spillin protein in my urine..I was induced at 38 weeks

@royallioness, oh okay, my midwife said on Friday if I still have those symptoms they will send me to L&D for monitoring and we will go from there. Thank you!

I did, 37 weeks my BP was high at one of my regular apt's so they sent me to L&d, they found protein in my urine but not enough to say I had preeclampsia so I had to do a 24 hour urine test, they found a lot more then, i had mild preeclampsia and got induced at 38 weeks

Oh wow I have the same story as @royallioness lol

Do you have any symptoms of it? Like anything that would have made you think you could possibly have it prior to finding out today?

@bentleysmomma, that's kind of what's happening to me. Thank you girl @haleymclain1121 sometimes my vision is blurry but I thought that was normal and my blood pressure is normally low so blurry vision was my only symptom

I just went through it with my son. I was kept in the hospital on bedrest for a month and a half. If you haven't been sent to the hospital I would say elevate your feet and rest on your left side that helps keep your blood pressure stable.

@mommy_to_be.taylor, if my blood pressure is still high on Friday they are going to send me to L&D for monitoring and if I do have preeclampsia they are going to induce me. Thank you ma'am and I hope everything is going well for you and your son 😊

I had it with my first they watched me and decided if I didn't go into labor by 37 weeks they were going to take my baby but my water broke on its own for its was just time

@10yearslater0205, thank you! Glad everything worked out for you

Yes me too that was a very long time ago ..

Oh yea you will be fine tho. You are way farther along than I was. I was induced at 30 weeks and 6 days after being there for a month. I hope your pressure goes down. And everything goes well for you. We are doing great he is home and doing great.

Ur welcome @queen_d wow @bentleysmomma

@mommy_to_be.taylor, well I'm glad to hear that!

Good luck I m going through it to myself .

@sylmcantave, thank you, my blood pressure went down so they aren't worried about preeclampsia now. Good luck to you
