Advice Please!! Preeclampsia? 36+ weeks

Question

Took a shower, and just drying off, and attempting to put on some very minimal makeup, I ran out of breath, started feeling nauseous, got super dizzy, and my feet started feeling like I was on pins and needles. I'm so over being pregnant. Baby doctor tomorrow! 😒 Due May 2nd, but doctor thinks she'll be here early. At my appointment on Thursday, I was told I'm at risk for preeclampsia... Should i be worried about today's episode, as I've been resting a great deal due to dizziness, or should I be ok until tomorrow morning's appointment?

Answer

Pre-e is no joke.  Even though your bp isn't technically high, that is a significant increase compared to what it was.  Go ahead and go to l&d, way better to be safe than sorry with this one.

Answer

Ok contacted my doctor. Waiting for her to get back to me! Thanks ladies!

Answer

Do you a blood pressure cuff at home? Try taking your blood pressure. If it's 140/90 go to labor and delivery immediately. If it's close to that call the doctor and ask if they can see you or if you should go to labor and delivery.

Good news is that at 36 weeks then you are in the safest range and can be induced right away. With my first I was induced at 36 weeks for pre-e and he was not affected by it at all.

Answer

I am currently admitted to the hospital for preeclampsia. My doctors are watching out for those symptoms. I would go to your doctor immediately. It's a big deal.

Answer

I wouldn't mess around about that. Call the doc and ask. If nothing else it should give you a little more peace of mind.

Answer

It was 122/84 with pulse at 88 at my last appointment. It was 135/76 with my pulse at 98 today... I'm still debating...

Answer

She wanted me to eat and see if that helps... And If I didn't feel a WHOLE lot better to go to L&D. I ate and still feel bad. I'm trying to get things in order so I can go to the hospital. :/  I have a 7.5 year old and my mom is 2.5 hours away. I have to wait for her.
