Preeclampsia at 9 weeks?

Question

I’ve had a headache for the last week except for yesterday. Today it came back and with it like for the last week I’ve had nausea ,high blood pressure, dizziness , stomach pains after eating but not upset stomach and fatigue. I had preeclampsia with my daughter closer to the end but it worry’s me I might be getting it earlier. Thoughts? I have a drs appointment tomorrow to fill my dr in. I’m on prescribed baby aspirin to help but it’s not doing anything for me. 😩

Answer

9 weeks is too early for preeclampsia. Even if your blood pressure were high, it would simply be high blood pressure and not preeclampsia. High blood pressure is a symptom of preeclampsia but not the cause of it and is just one component of it. But it’s rare to get it prior to the 3rd trimester and it’s impossible to get it in the first.

Answer

How high is your blood pressure? Headaches and feeling unwell are very normal. But what do you mean by your blood pressure is high? Do you have an at home monitor?  What were the numbers?

Answer

I think that's pretty common in early pregnancy. I had it with both of my pregnancies. It got better as I entered the second trimester. I still have headaches, but they're not as frequent or severe.

Answer

I'm having the same issue. Baby #2 here. Had preeclampsia with my son starting at 35 weeks. But I started having swelling, dizziness, high bp, ect. I've been hospitalized twice for it. Mine started at 8 weeks with baby #2 and has definitely stayed I'm 14 weeks now and they have me on magnesium supplements (low magnesium during pregnancy causes preeclampsia)
