last week at my midwife appointment she said i had protein in my urine and she said it looks like i've had it all the way through (from my notes) she wanted me to do a sample but didn't have any available so i coudldn't do one and she said if i start to have burning when i wee then to contact them.

but what are any other signs of pre eclampsia because i have been having severe pain in my back to the point i can hardly move, whether im sitting standing or laying down. i sometimes feel really dizzy and sick and been having pains in my abdomen (irregular). i never had any of this with my daughter so i'm confused as to whether its normal for all of these or its something to do with the protein in my urine?

please help, im getting worried and don't see my midwife until next wednesday. im 38 weeks pregnant
 
What are the Signs of preclampsia?

In addition to swelling, protein in the urine, and high blood pressure, symptoms of preclampsia can include:

* Rapid weight gain caused by a significant increase in bodily fluid
* Abdominal pain
* Severe headaches
* A change in reflexes
* Reduced output of urine or no urine
* Dizziness
* Excessive vomiting and nausea



I was induced at 35 weeks due to preclampsia , It caused my blood pressure to shoot up which became a danger for the baby. I would honestly go to the hospital and get your blood pressure and all checked, they may have to take the baby but seeing as your 38 weeks the baby should be totally fine if delivered now
