Any moms who had preeclampsia in the beginning of their pregnancy mind giving me some advice or tips? In my first…

@halifax6 see that's the thing she just came in and said im in the beginning of my preeclampsia and that she was going to draw out more blood. My first visit she took 6 tubs of blood then on this visit she took another 6????

@janethcabreraruiz0512 do you have protein in your urine? Have you done the 24 hr test?

@janethcabreraruiz0512, if you don’t feel comfortable with your doctor find a new one! You have every right to fully trust the person responsible for your baby’s (and technically your) life!

@k_nc I feel like this doctor doesn't know what she's doing💔 since we found out that I'm pregnant she hasn't let me hear babys heart beat or have an ultrasound

@halifax6 no medication yet they have me going in to get my blood pressure checked a lot tho. Exactly me either that's why she has me freaking out

Are they regulating your blood pressure with medication? Have you started to decrease your salt intake? I've never head of it in the first trimester. I was diagnosed at 34 weeks and spent 3weeks in the hospital until I was induced at 37w

@janethcabreraruiz0512, definitely scary, same thing happened to me early on too and I was super stressed for no reason because of it until my doctor told me it can’t be diagnosed yet. Now I’m 24 weeks and they have me on very close watch but so far I’m still ok, so don’t stress 😊 also I had to be induced early because of my preeclampsia last pregnancy so I know how it feels to see all the symptoms and freak out

@k_nc that's what I was told by my 1st pregnancy doctor. however I've been having all of the same symptoms, swelling, abdominal pain, horrible headaches which has my current doctor saying crazy things😵

My doctor told me that preeclampsia isn’t diagnosable until around 20 weeks so I would definitely get a second opinion!
