preclampsia

Im being tested for it :p 34weeks+4days blah i got a head ache, drs are checking my pee, blood preasure, monitoring contractions, and are gunna give me an ultrasound to check babys fluid. What i was wondering was if anyone has been diagnosed and what are they doing about it? If you had it in a previous pregnancy did they induce you early?

The doctors will most probably admit you and try to keep everything under control until week 36 (blood pressure, proteins)  and closely monitor the baby not to be in distress. You'll be on strict bed rest until after delivery.

I dont think shes excited to have preeclamsia but more excited for her daughter to come. I follow alot of her posts & shes been ready for a while- phsycially & mentally! lol we both have- we are due the same day & we have the EXACT same things going on- high risk, ect. I think its just more exciting to her know she will be here very soon! I would be too!

I went to a regular appointment and they check my bloodpresser and it was high so at end off appt they chacked it Agine and said I have preaclamca so I need to go to hospital and I was indused that day at 37 weeks.  Every doctor may be different. But It was unsaved for me and my child so it was better to get him out.  I was in hospital  for a week.  And sent home on bloodpresser meds.  Good luck to u.

If you test positive for preeclampsia, they HAVE to induce you- you will be having that baby the same day if you test positive because it reduces the amount of oxygen & nutrients your baby needs-- it also depends on what the levels in your urine are if they are high & low. Good luck!!
