Should I call labor and delivery?

Question

So I'm having a random problem breathing. And no, not just short of breath, more like I physically am having a hard time. Its awful no matter if I sit up, stand up or lay down in any way. Now I have a throbbing headache and I just feel off. My doctor said I may be at risk for preeclampsia. My blood pressure is always low and no signs of protein in urine so far. Should I go call? I have an appointment tomorrow morning. Should I wait?

Answer

If your in question, just call. You'll feel better

Answer

If you are worried I would call but to ease your mind a little, I was having the same problem and talked to my doctor about it. It was so bad I started to panic whenever it would happen. She explained something about a chemical release later in pregnancy that tricked the body to think it was having a hard time breathing and what I described to her sounded like that. She didn't seem too worried and just told me to pay attention to baby's movements and if they decreased to call. She said if the body really is short on oxygen it will first take from the baby which leads to a decrease in movement.
