Hey everyone - I’ve just returned from my 39 week antenatal appointment and protein has been found in my urine. Last night I had my first migraine - I call it that as it would not go away easily, although it was gone by morning. And for the first time yesterday, I had flashing lights in my vision for around 15 seconds after bending down, but nothing since. They want to be cautious, and have asked me to return in two days for another urine check and to check my blood pressure.

I was wondering if anyone else has been diagnosed with preeclampsia late in pregnancy, and also what does it feel like? Are the headaches constant? Frequent? I’m worried as I had my heart set on a home birth, although I know the health of myself and the baby come first. Just curious as to what preeclampsia feels like for those who have symptoms?

Thanks!
