I’m currently sitting in the Labor and Delivery room with possible preeclampsia at 38+4 weeks pregnant.

I originally was scheduled for a weekly routine check up and my midwife noticed my ankles were very swollen. My blood pressure was 126/87 which she considered borderline and compared it to my “normal” bp which was so much higher this time. Also, she mentioned I have protein in my urine.

I’m a little nervous because this morning I was feeling a bit light headed and a had a small headache here and there. To me it was nothing alarming however now that I put it all together it might make sense why I am here..

What were you ladies symptoms or preeclampsia if any were present? I’m here and starting to feel a little sick but it can also be mental. I’m a first time mom and wasn’t expecting this at all.
