Anyone familiar with preeclampsia?

Question

I’m 34 and 4 days. The past two days I’ve been extremely fatigued, have headaches, very little/slight swelling in my feet/hands (nothing extreme), and have been feeling lightheaded with occasional “heat flashes”. My normal doctor appointment is on Wednesday (today is Monday). Should I call? Or just wait it out? My BP has always been normal, though I haven’t checked it the past few days... trying not to over analyze everything!

Answer

Any fire station will check your BP for free.

Answer

I agree with the person who said to check your blood pressure. Find a store that has a machine and check it. That'll give you peace of mind or know if you should call/ go in. You can't have preclamsia without having high blood pressure. 140/90 or higher is a problem.  My family has a history of preclamsia so I have a cuff at home and check it daily.  It keeps me from worrying.

Answer

You could always run somewhere quickly where they have a BP machine and check it out. At least it might make you feel better!

Answer

I wouldn't worry
