Postpartum preeclampsia?

Question

Anyone else struggling with postpartum preeclampsia now or in a previous pregnancy? Curious how you’re being treated and how long it took for the high blood pressure to get under control/go away. 
This has been the most stressful part of the pregnancy/delivery and I’m just needing an idea of what I’ve got ahead of me still.

Answer

I’m struggling with high BP that they are worried will turn into postpartum preeclampsia. I was told if it turns into it I’ll just be put on medicine to control blood pressure but not much more then that.

Answer

I am on the verge of having it, they want me to have appointments every week up until my 6 weeks pp.

Answer

I was induced due to body BP after my c- Section I had to go in for weekly checks and I had to stay in the hospital for a longer time but I’m 3 weeks PP and it’s gone back to normal but my first week home I had a ton of swelling to the point that I had to limit movement so just rest as much as possible your first 2 weeks they didn’t put me on any medicine

Answer

Yes, this is me. I had no signs or symptoms of preeclampsia during pregnancy and then my last blood pressure reading at the hospital was elevated so they had me go to a one week follow-up and ever since, I have had to be monitored because my blood pressure is high and my blood work is showing very slightly elevated liver enzymes. Apparently it should get better but I am being monitored closely, appointments once/twice a week.

Answer

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I had to stay an extra few day at the hospital while they regulated my medicine. I am on what I understand is a pretty high dose of blood pressure medicine. I take my bp at home and if appears to be starting to level out. Hoping I can get lower my dose soon... Bd really hoping I’m not on the meds forever.
