preeclampsia?

Question

Can someone please explain more about preeclampsia? 
Have you been diagnosed with it & how were you diagnosed? 
What are more of the symptoms and signs?

Answer

I was diagnosed with my first child after they found protein in my urine and then my bp was raised. I was also feeling really unwell for a few days with the worst headache and tiredness. I got tablets to take until 3 weeks after birth. Saw a consultant every other week and had scan every three weeks.

Answer

I had preeclampsia with my first pregnancy which tragically caused his stillbirth. 
The symptoms were high blood pressure, fluctuating protein, visual disturbances, pain under the right ribs, headache that wouldn't go away, being sick around 20 times a day.
For my baby the symptoms where lack of movement and growth restriction, he stopped growing at 21 weeks but was 24+5 when he passed
My placenta also was small, full of infractions and clots.
I'm pregnant with my rainbow and I'm at risk of preeclampsia and have had mild symptoms, I've had visual disturbances, a headache that won't go, fluctuating protein. I'm currently on two blood pressure medications and high dose aspirin since I was 6+2 weeks pregnant, have growth scans every two weeks. I'm now currently 26+3 with my rainbow and his last scan showed he weighed 1.9lb

Answer

So I haven't been diagnosed... Yet but I'm being heavily monitored. Non stress tests twice a week starting next week at 32weeks, blood draws and growth us. I want to point out that just because you have protein in your urine doesn't necessarily mean you have preE. I have protein but it's from old damage done from years of adolescent hypertension which is why I'm not diagnosed but monitored. Abdominal pain, nausea, seeing spots in vision can all be symptoms, they can also be normal. Good luck dear

Answer

Following , I was just diagnosed with it because they found protein in my urine. But I know high bp, protein in urine, headaches, cramping are the symptoms I know of that I have from the preeclampsia.
