I am currently pg with baby #2. Went for my checkup yesterday and my BP was a little elevated (120/80) and I’ve gained 4 lbs in the last two weeks (doc says water retention) which, with those two factors combined, has made the doctor starting throwing around the word “pre-eclampsia” again. (he did not say whether I had protein in my urine or not and I didn't think to ask) They want me to start resting when I get home from work. My job consists of sitting behind a desk most of the day. I try not to sit for extended periods of time. I had two headaches in the past week and he wants me to let them know if I continue to get them. I go back every week from here on out.
I was being monitored for pre eclampsia with baby #1. I was put on complete bed rest between 36-37 weeks with him. (they ended up doing my c-section at 39w1d because I wasn't getting any better) I was swelling, my BP was high and I did have protein in my urine at that time.
As of right now, some days I swell worse that others. My BP has been fairly good until now.
I was just curious if there was anyone else going through this right now?? I'm trying not to stress over it too much b/c I don't want to make my BP go any higher than necessary. I'm already scheduled to deliver via c/s on May 21st. My due date is May 29th.
Thanks for reading.
