Pre Eclampsia

Hello !! I have all the symptoms for Pre - E but my BP sits on the edge of the threshold, (140/90 for pre E readings coming back at 135/85) but my consultant and midwife don’t seem to be concerned?? I’m almost 38 weeks and it’s starting to make me really anxious 🫣

Have they done a urine sample because they can measure the levels of proteins in that as well so if there are little to no protein markers and your BP isn't high then that'll be why they aren't concerned. Swelling in legs can be normal as well ad headaches and rib pain can easily be caused by baby themselves. If they aren't worried I wouldn't be to worried either. Sometimes u can just have all the symptoms at the same time but not for the same reasons. My BP generally sat at 130/85 as well that can also be increased by walking, anxiety and just pregnancy in general. If there not concerned I wouldn't be either x

All of my urine tests have come back as Protein + x

Sounds like pregnancy induced hypertension rather than pre-eclampsia, you can have protein in urine caused by other things, equally your full term so the cure for pre-eclampsia ( delivery) is easily around the corner so they won't be concerned xx

I was in FMAU for routine monitoring Monday and my blood pressure was 148/87 and because my wee was ok and I have no other symptoms they said it was fine, back in today to be checked again x

Ask for a blood test. My protein in urine was fine and blood pressure is fluctuating all the time but my blood results show signs pre-eclampsia is kicking in.

@Megan yeah I think I’m gonna request this tomorrow with my next set of bloods, thank you 💖
