Anuone had it? What are ur experiences on this? Ive got 42 days to go to my scheduled c section.  dont panic, ive got an app with the ob in 6 hrs and my mum has just called the hospital to see if my symptoms warrant going in.

Thanks ladies. I got lucky somehow and dodged a bullet. I had protein in my urine at 30 w, high blood pressure whilst at home in 40° heat but having driven to the capital early after the two hugh blood pressure readings, its gone back down from 138/89 to 130/60. Ob thinks the heat was pushing my body too much. Be careful ladies, listen to ur bodies. Even though it might seem like I did a 1500k drive for nothing, I'd much rather be wrong and closer to my hospital.

That's just scary. Glad everything ended up going good. Thank you. Hopefully we Dont have to have early babies!

I had a horrible, horrible experience. My preeclampsia was misdiagnosed with my first pregnancy. Ended up developing into HELLP syndrome and emergency c-section at 34 going on 35 weeks. Beginning liver failure, double kidney infection, blood platelets so low they said it was either me or baby who would survive. Luckily, we both did. It was a terrible experience. She was only 3lbs, had a little jaundice and needed a feeding tube. She came home in two weeks, pulled through just fine. I'm hoping this pregnancy goes sooooo much smoother. Also wishing you ladies the best with your preeclampsia

I have it now they said it's just a mild case. Before I found out I was already scheduled to be induced at 38 weeks. Which is 3 weeks away. I also need advice.

I had it terribly bad with my son,  ended up going to 39 weeks and being induced.  Was on tons of meds with high blood pressure from 33 weeks on i was seen 2 times a week and told to watch for seeing spots, excessive swelling and dehydration.  This time around ill be 39 weeks tomorrow, cesarean scheduled for 5pm tomorrow no signs of preeclampsia at all
