Anyone else at risk for preeclampsia?

Question

So, this is my 6th pregnancy and I have had preeclampsia with all of my previous deliveries. With my last pregnancy, I was put on aspirin and was able to make it to 39 weeks and 4 days before needing to be induced due to preeclampsia. I’ve been taking aspirin with this pregnancy as well, currently 36 weeks and 3 days. I’m already at plus 1 protein in urine, occasional elevated BP’s, headaches, dizziness, and vision problems. Also gained 2 pounds in one week. So I am now waiting on my symptoms to get worse or better. I’m afraid that I won’t make it to 37 weeks this coming Thursday. I want to keep him in as long as possible for the best health for him. 
Anyone else in a similar boat?
I’m scheduled for a c-section on March 9th at 39 weeks because I’m getting my “tubes tied”. But I’m afraid I will need to deliver before then 😕

Answer

I'm currently 37 weeks and was put on bed rest last night because my blood pressure was so up and down. I had high blood pressure with my first and was induced at 39 weeks due to my blood pressure getting so high.

Answer

2 previous pregnancies with Preeclampsia. High BP started at 10 weeks this time. Started Aspirin at 12 weeks, had to start Procardia at 28 weeks because I consistently had BP readings above 150/100. I also have to have weekly bio-physical profiles with fluid levels checks and measurements. Currently 34 weeks and they are considering inducing at 37 weeks with just the high BP and baby measuring large. So far no protein, blood work is good, just mild swelling. They're concerned about my BP though because even with meds it spikes sometimes into the 170s.

Answer

Me! I’m on bedrest for hypertension and they are pushing for a 37 week induction (March 1st). My BP stays down (around 125-35/80-85) if I stay in bed but once I move around it goes it goes a bit nuts and I have problems breathing/light headedness/cold sweats etc.

Answer

🙋🙋 BP is chronically high so im at risk for Pre-E. Been on asprin since week 12 and had occasional protein in my urine. At 35 weeks had extreme swelling in my feet/ankles and BP was 150/104. No protein in urine and all my labs came back clean. Doing weekly Biophysical profiles on baby and twice weekly BP check and BP medication also got steroid shots at 35 weeks. It's been Hovering around 140/90 so they're hoping I can make it to 38 weeks (the 1st) and thats when my induction is scheduled.
