Should I be worried?? Preclampsia??

Question

I'm 37 weeks pregnant and been going to my doctors appointments regularly. Every appt my BP is normal but I'm starting to worry. I've had consistent headaches that I have not had throughout pregnancy so far at all, I've had more swelling in my face but not as much in hands and feet until after working all day. Other then the headaches I've been extremely naseous the last few days and been seeing spots and getting dizzy frequently. Another concern I have is that the last two weekly appointments I've gained 3 pounds a week, which I feel like is a lot and I wasn't doing before. I'm wondering if I should be worried and call my doctor or if I should wait until my appointment 2 days from now. Please help!!

Answer

I didn't know about preeclampsia until I had it. I also thought my son had his head in my ribs but really it was a snap pain due to preeclampsia. My bp spiked at my 38 week appt. They ran tests and induced me to have him that day. No harm in checking plus you are far more enough along to be induced if you do have it. I had to stay 3 days at the hospital until my kidneys and liver functioned properly again. You may not have it but its good you are aware of the signs!

Answer

call doc immediately! even if it's nothing it's better to be safe than sorry.
