Preeclampsia

[xamxxe]

Has anyone experienced preeclampsia during their pregnancy?

I have not personally but have friends who have. I have found it tends to cause early delivery. Take care of yourself and follow the docs orders, the rest will fall into place :)

Preeclampsia  is generally high BP, protein in urine... but can also be noticed by excessive swelling of hands and feet... even the face!

You'll  be monitored closely, and maybe medicated/bed rest... if it becomes uncontrollable they will have to deliver baby early!

Just remember the further you get the better... but Baby has pretty good odds at 26wks plus and they'll give steriods to assist lungs!

Hang in as long as you can xx

I'm guessing you've been diagnosed or are curious?

An acquaintance is going through it. Pre term labor, very swollen, and is at risk for some other serious risks like seizures and whatnot. Magnesium is usually givem and some injections of I can't I can't quite recall. Its not pleasant. She's due May 1st but was in the hospital last week for contractions and thus the treatments.
