@Alice yeah see mine are all normal. I’ve got the high BP, protein in urine I’ve got headaches and eye changes confirmed by optician, abdo pain and nausea but normal bloods so they aren’t thinking it’s that. Just curious if anyone’s been diagnosed just on those things. So sorry to hear what happened to you ❤️. I’m really glad your ok though. It’s scary stuff xx
@Hannah I would keep pushing them tbh because all of the doctors and midwives I met almost berated me because I didn’t come in when I had headaches or visual disturbances but I actually didn’t experience that at all lol
I had severe pre eclampsia and delivered my lg via cat 1 section at 34weeks under GA. I did have it show in the bloods and had high BP was brought into ADU every other day. I had been in countless times with RFM and they caught it too late basically. My lg was born on the 0.01% centile. I had been flagging high BP and swelling to them for ages before they actually started to closely monitor me. But because I never had protein in my urine, they always dismissed my concerns of pre eclampsia. They tested my blood way later than they shouldve bc I never had protein in my urine. This is why I dislike medical professionals so much because it feels like a constant battle with them, but you know your own body and If you've had it before you'll know what to look out for. Just keep pushing them and keep asking them to test your blood, could easily change in your bloods the next time you go in. Pre eclampsia quickly changes as you'll know from your first pregnancy.
I currently have mild preeclampsia. My bp has been high and I have protein in my urine, that’s about it. My blood work is fine and I don’t have other symptoms so they haven’t put me on any medications. However, I am delivering at 37 weeks just to be safe. I would definitely talk to your doctor because it’s better to be safe and prepared.
I would deffo go back for second and third opinions. This sounds like pre eclampsia to me. I was misdiagnosed and ignored by midwives about my high bp and swelling (only symptoms i had at the time) until i went to hospital for reduced movements and second opinion for them to tell me i have protein in my urine and need to get baby out. Yes i had my bloods so it may have been visible on there too, but point is i was ill for a while, was experiencing symptoms and they were telling me all was fine when it clearly wasnt because it all ended in an emergency c section. So not to scare u but safe to say my trust in some of these medical professionals isnt 100% 😔best advice is know yourself and if u feel something is wrong just keep pushing for checks and answers until u are reassured.
Yep! I'm currently in hospital now. No issues with my blood but my BP is high and protein is at a 3+ so I've been diagnosed with mild pre-eclampsia.
Don’t know if this is helpful but when I had severe pre eclampsia with my first (born at 26 weeks) they kept telling me my bloods were deranged. So they were able to get my bp settled but because my organs had gone into failure due to the deranged bloods they had to deliver
