Pre eclampsia

Do you live down south? If it’s hot that can cause the swelling and dehydration. The blood pressure is the dangerous thing about preeclampsia. I think you have maybe been very unlucky getting so many symptoms at the same time. Did they send urine away? You may have a UTI or thrush?

I’m not a doctor but think you’ve done the right thing to get checked out regardless. Xx

I heard somewhere that your blood pressure is the last thing to go if you have preeclampsia- I may be wrong. But worth being persistent if your gut is telling you something isn’t right xx

I'm currently 32+3 and I've had all the same symptoms, twice I've had protein in the urine like you my blood pressure was normal. They sent me from the hospital with a blood pressure monitor, I have to check once a week, if it's not normal I have to go to PAU. However like Melanie said all my symptoms started when the warm weather came I live in the north and I wasn't always drinking enough, on my feet for work. Then I got diagnosed with GD and everything is fine, I don't know whether it was all to do with that or not, have you had your GD for this pregnancy? X

I have same symptoms i think the swelling is because its hot, i got protein in my urine but its just a tiny bit and blood pressure is fine… so maybe just a collection of all these symptons- i feel fine though so dont think its preeclampsia will keep an eye on it and bring it up to my midwife next time x

I’m in the east. They’ve done nothing else but the swelling was that bad I couldn’t get my shoes on or even a size up! They felt like they were gonna burst. I’m on aspirin for pre eclampsia risk aswell so it just worried me a little. It’s just a gut feeling that something isn’t right. I don’t have GD. I’ve just been told if I’m worried go to triage but that consultant just seemed so unbothered I felt silly for even bringing it up! Xx
