Pre-eclampsia is not diagnosed on a blood test (though blood tests are used to check for any complications and/or progression of the condition) so I think the receptionist might not have got the full story there. Wait until you hear from the GP/MW, hope it's nothing to worry about!

Pre eclampsia tends not to kick In Until around 20weeks due to the development of the placenta. You may be more at Risk of developing pre eclampsia due to your age .

Pre eclampsia is persistent high blood pressure, with protein in your urine and your liver and kidney function will be off

I wouldn't worry about this. Wait to see your midwife
