Pre-eclampsia

I'm 36w+4d and I had my doct appt yesterday. My blood pressure and weight gain have been excellent through out my entire pregnancy. All of a sudden I have had a sudden drastic increase in both plus added swelling and a little dizziness. The doctor ordered me to go in for blood tests today to check for pre-eclampsia. Has anyone ever experienced this before or is going through it now? And what happened?

Had an emergency csection on the 22nd at 35 weeks because of it, it was to the serious point so they wanted her out of there as soon as possible. Once I delivered i was on magnesium for 24 hours, I have never felt so sick in my life. But after that every symptom went away and I feel so great.

I was induced at 36 + 3 because of it. Tried to go natural but after 15 hours only progressed a cm and baby's heartbeat kept dropping so had to have a c-section. I was put on bed rest at 36 because my Dr. wanted to get me to 37 or 38 weeks but my symptoms were just getting worse every day. Good luck!

I had a pre-e scare at 35 weeks but all my tests came back normal. I still have hypertension so my doctor is inducing me on the 9th at 37 weeks 5 days.

I had a preeclampsia scare monday but my blood work came back normal wednesday so they just wrote it off as a bad day. I didnt have all of the symptoms you are having though.

I did with my first. I ended up on bed rest and gained a ton of water weight. BP ended up super high. Never tested positive for preclampsia although they tested me weekly. At the end my pressure was 197/98 and was scheduled for induction but baby came on his own the day before

Wow ok thank you so much for your guys comments. Sitting in the waiting room to get blood drawn now. Should know by the end of the day. Fingers crossed it was just a fluke. Good luck to you ladies!

I went through it last pregnancy and lools like I have the beginning signs this time around also. Unfortunately, at this point in your pregnancy if it is found you do in fact have preeclampsia they will deliver the baby as soon as possible. Not sure about your doctor but mine said it was necessary to have a c section. After the delivery they will give you a medication through your IV called magnesium. The side effects are not pleasant but they need to administer it as a precaution in case your pressure spikes after delivery. Good luck and keep us posted!
