Excse typing on phone pls! 35wks today and a bit worried about preeclampsia.

BP and urine checked Friday and all fine - BP usually v v low (80/50) and was 100/62. Feet feel swolen today, and hands (rings tight). Have not had any swelling at all this pregnancy or last; was all fine.

No other PE symptoms. Lots of movements!

I am worrying about nothing. Yes?!

Im guessing its the heat or possibly a bit of dehydration, your bp sounds very similar to mine at 35 wks too and is certainly not high - I was told they would start to worry if it went to over 130. Watch out for headaches and other symptoms but is there anywhere you can pop to for a bp check? Local GP, MW centre? Pharmacies also do it, Boots do I think.

If you're worried, then just give your midwife a quick bell. It's always worth getting checked out. Put your feet up in the meantime.

Exactly the same as my daughter, ankles like balloons on Friday, same blood pressure as you , urine test fine, ankles a bit better after resting them, she is also 35 weeks, take care, :)

You should get checked out by your midwife. If your blood pressure is normally low and goes up by 20 or more (bottom figure) it could be a sign as is swelling. Often PE is symptomless. I'm sure you are fine but as PE can develop very quickly it is worth checking out.

Thanks all. Feel better with aircon on and feet up fir an hour. Will check bp at mil's as they have a monitor thing, and call mw if still worried.
