Preeclampsia?
I'm 17 weeks and so far this pregnancy has been normal well this past week or so I've had to go to work at 5 in the morning. I don't have time to eat breakfast because I am just too tired to wake up early enough. I grab a grimly bar and eat it on the way. About 30 minutes into my shift I start to feel lightheaded and it would only feel better if I sit down. My work is not a desk job, I am constantly up and moving, and lifting. So I figured it was just because I haven't ate really. But I've been reading about Preeclampsia and it has me worried because I also have swollen hands and feet. My feet are swollen because of working and my hands haven't been swollen since before I was pregnant. The swelling goes down when I'm at home relaxing. At my other appointments I didn't have high blood pressure or protein in my urine (last appointment was 2 weeks ago) Am I overreacting or should I talk to my doctor?
