Anyone develop 3rd trimester preeclampsia?

Question

I'm 33weeks and lately my blood pressure has been going up like 138/73-148/76 range. I had my blood and urine test today still waiting for results and keep thinking about if I have it..anyone develop preeclampsia in the end here? How's it all going?

Answer

Preeclampsia typically develops in the third.  I got it at 31 weeks and had baby at 32 with my first.  Came out of nowhere, had the perfect pregnancy up until it wasn't.  It's much more common around 35+ weeks.

Answer

I've been showing symptoms since 25 weeks. 33 now. I was taken off of work and have been going to the doctor every week since. Hopefully he can stay in there at least a couple more weeks! My doctor said not to go to the hospital until I get a BP over 160.

Answer

My friend had preeclampsia develop in her 3rd trimester--she had to be induced early (about 2-3 weeks early), and her baby had to stay in the hospital for a couple of weeks for monitoring. Her baby is now almost a year old and he's perfectly healthy and one of the happiest, laid back babies I've ever met :)
