Pre-eclampsia

Other than high blood pressure and protein in my urine I have no symptoms. I've had both since my booking appointment! Usually just a 1+ protein. I fell down the stairs a few weeks back and came to triage to be checked out and my protein had gone up to a 2+ and my BP was high so they put me on twice weekly monitoring. Came in on Tuesday for monitoring and my protein had gone up to a 3+. All my bloods are fine, and I've been told that if I get visual disturbances like fizzy vision or sparkles, headaches that won't go away with paracetamol, dizziness or swelling then I need to call triage as they're the main symptoms it's getting bad.
Sorry to hear this but at least if you know about it now you will be checked and have good care to stay safe. November baby might be a good thing as well in future! Further from Christmas! Hopefully your symptoms will stay mild x
