Do preeclampsia symptoms come and go or are they constant?

Question

I'm curious because I have had high BP at every doctor appointment except one. They have been worried about preeclampsia with me. I have been having the swelling of hands and feet, upper right quadrant pain (I've already had my gallbladder removed, so it's not that), headaches, and spotty vision. All my symptoms have been off and on so I'm not sure if I should be concerned or not. My next OB appt is Friday the 30th. Should I wait till my appt? I'm 36 weeks today. Comments and advice welcome!

Answer

Go in! Better safe than sorry. I started having upper right quadrant pain at 35+3 and was immediately admitted and induced.  The induction didn’t work but I was monitored for an entire week in hospital and induced 2 more times (also didn’t work) and they ended up doing a csection at 36+3 as I had developed HELLP syndrome and my platelets couldn’t drop any lower 😬

Answer

i believe that as it progresses it becomes more constant. when i was pregnant i had headaches coming and going then around 30 weeks it jist stayed. and thats when they decided it had gotten too bad and took my babies out

Answer

I had preeclampsia during my pregnancy and was induced at 38weeks. Our fetal doctor said even tho my symptoms would come n go it would be cutting it too close if they let me go to 40weeks.
