Can you have preeclampsia without protein in your urine? My blood pressure will randomly jump way up for 10 min or so and then drop back to normal. I see stars when this happens. I can’t breathe and get a pressure up my spine into my head that leaves me with a headache. I get jittery and feel like I could pass out. All this last for maybe 10 min maybe once a day if not every other. They checked my urine for protein last night at labor and delivery when my blood pressure jumped up and I went in but everything came back normal urine wise.
There is also pregnancy hypertension. (No protein)
I had this with both of my previous pregnancies.
The first got bad after a preterm labor scare at 34 weeks, I delivered at 37 weeks and 5days via c-section (c-section was for multiple reasons).
The second I was put on bed rest at 36 weeks and delivered via gently induced VBAC at 38 weeks 4 days.
With my first my numbers were consistently in the 180’s/90’s from 36 weeks on, spiking to 189/99 before the c-section and 199/117 moments before they started.
With my second I had 150’s/high 80’s up until they started the induction at which point my body decided to calm down and I had ideal blood pressure throughout delivery
I had pregnancy hypertension during my last trimester.. I never had high blood pressure at all. So it was quite scary.. My daughter was breech too.. So at 38 weeks via c section she came out... My blood pressure was in danger of me having a stroke.. I was even working up until jan 15. Had a dr appt on the 16.. From there a hospital trip to back home the next day i had my c...
She was better out then in.. I had a scheduled c for jan 22 but she came out jan 17.. Currently a 1month old..
Thank god every day for the team of drs saving my life and hers too.. And being how it was my first pregnancy i went full term it was quit scary..
I never had protein in my urine at all either.. And i had swelling around my feet and ankles hands and face.. Once i had my c n few weeks after my blood pressure is back to normal and i dont have an swelling..
