Preeclampsia at 36-37 weeks

mama of 3

*Update* I had a high protein count in my urine today and was monitored at L&D. Have to do a 24 hour urine catch to see what my protein looks like. I’m thinking this is preeclampsia 😕

I’m 36 weeks and 5 days and over the last few weeks I’ve gained nearly 20 lbs and have a ton of swelling in my legs, feet, and hands, with some slight swelling in my face.

I had preeclampsia with my son 13 years ago and I’m worried I’m developing it again.

Just since my appointment last Friday I’ve gained almost 5 pounds. But my bp is fairly normal with slight increases here and there.

I’m going to try to stress this to my doctor but I don’t know if she’ll do anything.
