Pre eclampsia

[Courtneybrown]

Hi there just looking for some opinions before i phone maternity ward.

for the past 2 days i have had migraines and some cramping im 18 weeks feel cold and shivery and today I've vomited all day which I've not had since about 8 weeks i have no energy and i was at the hospital the othed day and bp was elevated a tiny bit does this sound like pre eclampsia xx

Sorry you are feeling ill. Those symptoms were nothing like my personal experience with pre e. Headaches came at the end when it was already severe and I didn't have cramps or feeling cold. It's also unlikely to be pre e because it usually starts after 20 weeks.

Certainly get checked out if you are worried! It sounds more like a bug but better safe than sorry.

Thank you just i suffer health anxiety and just feel so rubbish, keep vomiting migraine seems to ease of a bit every time i be sick.

but the shakiness comes on just before im sick... ive suffered hg with all 3 of my other pregnancys wondering if its just making a late appearance xx

Like above, those symptoms were not like what I experienced with pre-eclampsia but definitely ring the unit if it would make you feel better (that’s what they are there for after all!) and it kind of sounds more like a bug that you could’ve picked up whilst out and about

Feel better soon.

The first symptom of pre is usually excessive swelling or dark urine or breathlessness. It’s definitely not migraines until quite serious (it’s a symptom of v v v high bp).

Ok thank you very much I'll try go for another sleep see if i can try shift it as not keeping any food or fluid down today either xx
