Pre eclampsia

Its generally pre-e if your bp is measuring 140/90 and you have high protein in your urine. Your bottom bp number is 80 which is considered normal. Do you have any pain under your right ribcage? Or are you having blurry vision or a headache you can't get rid of? If so they may be further indications of pre-e.
@Sonia I was told similar. I rang triage with what I thought was high blood pressure, and the nurse said as long as the lower number isn’t 90 or above, they aren’t worried about pre-eclampsia.
The bottom bp measurement is normal. If they sent you home should be ok. Have you got a bp monitor at home you can check it regularly to keep an eye on it?
Protien trace could also be the start of a UTI or I was told the sample can be contaminated sometimes, I had this at my 25 week appointment and it went away by the appointment after 🙂 just keep really well hydrated and if you notice any symptoms give triage a call x
I’ve had a trace of protein in my urine a few times and all was okay. Blood pressure normal and all other tests fine so no further action taken
I was sent home with exact same with reassurance.
