long story short I had eclampsia with my first born 6 years ago no symptoms took seizures, my son was born at 31 weeks. I also had pre eclampsia with my daughter 4 years ago, she was also born at 31 + 3. I am currently 32+2 so have never went this far. I see consultant every Friday but last night I was sick and also I dip tested my urine and protein was + 1. previous to this each time has only been a trace. I check my bp regularly and I'm on medication for this just can't help but feel anxious!! but I know from my app on Friday everything looked fine. help??

Do you have a headache or feel unwell?

With your history I would get checked out, if only to put your mind at rest. Hope you are ok.

@Starsandthemoonx go get checked! It's always better to go get checked if your worried, and it be nothing, then to ignore your worry and risk something happening!! Good luck!

If you’re worried, call triage. They’d rather check you over and you’re fine than you leave it and become unwell.

I don't have a headache or feel unwell and have checked my bp which is fine. I'm just wondering if it's just the anxiety for me to go down means I need to get family to come watch my other 2. the only think making me worry is the +1 of protein. thanks everyone

I would get checked due to your history op

Always get checked, even if it is just a wobble, why risk it? Itl help you relax anyway which is bound to be good for your BP

Absolutely get checked. I had PE twice and it's actually more common with a longer age gap.
Just see your MW as they're much more of an expert than the GP.

You'll feel better knowing and you need your BP checking.

Good luck x
