Hi guys,

I am being monitored for preeclampsia and they cannot decide if it’s the start of it or simply carpal tunnel so normal pregnancy stuff.

My hands are extremely swallen, with feeling of pins and needles and occasionally pain. They are always like this 24/7. Symptoms have increased in the last few weeks and to describe it I feel like I am always wearing gloves so no grip at all.

Blood pressure has been ok every time I am in hospital but quite high with the home machine so we don’t know what to trust.

I had one urine test (strip) with 3+ proteine level but when the same sample was sent to the lab it returned a normal amount.

I am going mad as I don’t know what to think anymore. I am monitored every 3 days which is good but still frightening.

Any experience with extreme hand swelling, preeclampsia or carpal tunnel?

Thank you
