I developed pre-eclampsia with ds1 at 36/7 weeks, and was induced at 38 weeks. I'm now 31 weeks pg with ds2.
Yesterday I was at the hospital for a scan and to see the consultant for an un-related problem (mw though the baby was too big, turns out it isn't). Whilst there they took my bp and tested my urine, and all was well (although urine may have been mainly water as I hadn't eaten or drunk anythin else for hours).
Today I saw my community mw and she found protein in my urine and my bp was at the top end of the normal range. How could things have changed so much in 24hours? Can pre-eclampsia start that quickly, or could it be something else?
I have had headaches and breathlessness, and was told to go to hospital if that happens again.
