I've been worried sick all day about my swelling. Back of my mind says preeclampsia My last doc visit they said my blood pressure was high and I was only like 18 weeks. I'm 21 now. I'm going to check it at Kroger tonight. If its high should I go to the hospital or just wait it out till my next doc visit? (28th)

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

*Avoid standing for long periods.
*Rest with your feet elevated
*Comfortable shoes.

Best luck to you momma. 🙂
Thank you SOOO much for your input. Seriously it helps me feel less jittery about this all 💓 I'm gonna be checking it in a little bit.
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.
Well high blood pressure and swelling is dangerous even not pregnant so I would go in.
If it’s high I would go in.
I was thinking to. I spoke to a nurse who said it cant be diagnosed really till about 24 weeks.. but I'm just really worried about it.
@petals even if it's early I would still go in for reassurance
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
Ok I'm 15 And Pregnant And I Don't Know What To Do. I'm Just A Freshman In High School.
Is it just my docs?
Idk why, but every time I go to the doctor they just check my blood pressure, weight, urine, baby's heartbeat, and send me on my way!
Birth Plan Rant
I used to be all about getting an epidural, but after research and thinking about it more I want to have an unmedicated birth (this is my first baby). What annoys me is when I say that I'm going to TRY my hardest to have a natural and unmedicated birth people always feel the need to say that I'm crazy or that I'm going to change my mind when I get in that position. Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
My blood pressure was 119/75. No worries here!
