I had pre-eclampsia and it was cause of high blood pressure and protein in my urine I also swelled up on my hands and face. Feet also but that Is common in regular pregnancies. I was hospitalized because it can cause still birth or you can get seizures. As long as you rest and take medication you should be fine but ur still considered high risk

I Googled it. It said if it were untreated it could. But it's a common thing in pregnant women. What has your doctor suggested to control it?  Also Try not to stress yourself out about it so much bc that isn't good for the blood pressure either. Everything will be okay
