Pre eclampsia

Al

So I’m freaking. . . What’s new? With my first pregnancy I was put on bed rest for 2 weeks due to extremely high BP and swelling. After the two weeks I was told I was having baby that day due to BP. This time around at 33 weeks I’m so freakin swollen. I don’t remember being this bad. My hands are so swollen they hurt and my fingertips often feel numb. My ankles are so swollen they hurt and feel like my skin is about to bust open. My BP has been ok so far. But I haven’t been to the doctor in 2 weeks either. I know preeclampsia can come on suddenly. I can’t afford bed rest due to remodeling our new home and moving from our rental house. I have a scheduled csection May 1st. I go to doctor in the morning but what do most of you ladies think normal swelling or be prepared for bed rest?

Ps don’t mind the paint on my foot and the fact I haven’t shaved in a week.
