pre eclampsia


looks like i might have early pre eclampisa im really worried now cuz having it this early on is so bad.

my eyes have been real strained and had floaters a lot and 2 days ago started getting blurry and spots, plus light makes them worse.

ive had a headache for 2 weeks now but have been feeling really ill since sat, i went for 16 week bloods yesterday and mentioned my head and eyes to midwife who sent me straight to see the doc

my blood pressure was high and protein in urine aswell.

had docs today and blood pressures gone down (thank fook) so i have to be monitered weekly by MW but my doc thinks theres a good posibility i will develop it at some stage

ive had 7 blood tests 2 check everything (they even did the OC liver function test) and sent my urine off so waiting fot the results of them

my other pregnancys have been fine so not sure why im so ill this time

ive been told now just to try and take it easy and relax and theyre going to moniter me im so scared im going to have a premature baby i just wanna go to bed for the next 5 months

has anyone else had or heard of anyone else getting it so early on????

i had it quite late - seeing little dots and the headaches along with the increasing blood pressure and protien in the urine.

The best thing you can do is to rest and not get yourself stressed out, they can put you on meds to help lower your blood pressure. I got put on meds but it was too near the end of my pregnancy to do anything.

Wish you all the best!

aww my friend had pre-eclampsia, so although i havn't been there myself i know its not nice and can be very upsetting for the mummy to be.
get plenty of rest, take it easy and use it as the best excuse in the world not to lift a finger around the house hehe
