Pre eclampsia, your signs?

[targaryen1]

Hey everybody, maybe I’m just over thinking but im worried I have some signs of pre eclampsia? Wanted to know your experiences?

My bp was high at my 25 week midwife appointment but wasn’t told this until my 28th! She didn’t seem concerned about it at my 28 week appt. I’ve been having headaches, a kind of spacey feeling in my head and eyes, it’s hard to explain. I’ve had aching and pain in my ribs and below and generally I’ve just felt unwell. My iron levels were low but I’ve been taking supplements and things seem to be getting worse.

Don’t want to make a big thing out of nothing I just feel like something isn’t right and I can’t quite put my finger on it.

Those can all be symptoms of PE and I'm also a firm believer in trusting your instincts so please do call your midwife or the maternity assessment unit. Preeclampsia can come on quite suddenly and it's always best to err on ththe side of caution. Good luck.

I had absolutely no symptoms at 39+5. I attended a routine scan, had high blood pressure and protein +++ in urine. Was admitted immediately and induced.

If you are worried just phone the midwives
