I'm freaking out a bit cause I'm scared I should have mentioned some symptoms I didn't even pay much attention to. I'm really scared that I may have pre eclampsia and should have mentioned some problems to my doctor that I did not. I have had awful headaches for the last 3 days, I get pain on my right side under my ribs that I thought was the baby kicking, I've been super nauseaous and started seeing lights the last time I threw up but I thought it was because i threw up hard. I have already been put on blood pressure medicine. I'm freaking out now cause I can't even call my doctor and I'm not sure if I should go to the ER or what to do
I was diagnosed with big pre eclampsia and then eclampsia. You have all the symptoms I had. For the safety of your baby and you please go to the ER. I was induced at 37 weeks after planning to be induced at 38 weeks because being diagnosed with eclampsia can mean women could potentially have a seizure while giving birth.
If you are on bad pain I say go to the ER. Has your Dr mentioned that you may have it?
@maxx, then yes go to ER. Don’t second guess it. If u have any feeling that you or baby is in harm then go.
@sunkissedsweetheart it's a dangerous condition pregnant women get that can be dangerous or even fatal to mother and baby
@n_favors the pain isn't unbearable just annoying. I only ignored the symptoms because I didn't think it was anything or I thought I knew what it came from. I've always had headaches my whole life and while I admit these are a different kind I didn't think to notice headaches. I seriously thought that the pain in my ribs was from bab kicking. I've played attention to my blood pressure and I am on medication for it.
