I've been worried sick all day about my swelling. Back of my mind says preeclampsia My last doc…

If it’s high I would go in.

Well high blood pressure and swelling is dangerous even not pregnant so I would go in.

No doubt if it's high, go right in. Im at high risk for preeclampsia and I borrowed my mom's BP monitor so I can check in between ob visits. I'm always checking.

I'm going to tell you my experience. I had high blood pressure at the end of my first pregnancy. I wasn't treated with medication because was mild. Everything went well with my baby, I had an induction and C-section, but baby was perfect. Don't worry too much and get too stressed about it. A good mental state is a good choice.

Tell your doc about your concerns. They recommended me drink more water and less salt, rest. Some light exercise or activity for pregnancy. Take your prenatals vitamins. Probably next appointment they going to tell you what to do, test your urine and be treated if you need it.

Rest, lying on your left side to take the weight of the baby off your major blood vessels.

Increase prenatal checkups.

Consume less salt

Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day

Change your diet to include more protein
