Preeclampsia? Any had it?

[cats7494]

Cats - do you have an update for us? I hope you received good news at the Dr.

I did receive good news. I was having vision troubles (seeing spots and losing sight in one eye periodically) which is also a symptom of preeclampsia.
Turns it it is a combination of pressure of the baby on my venal cavity putting pressure on my retina and being borderine anemic..
They said it should be "cured" when I have the baby in February. So - until then I just have to deal with the vision troubles.
I am just thankful that it is not pre-eclampsia. THank you to all for your posts and good luck to every one who has to deal with this or other pregnancy difficulties!

GREAT news ... sorry about your vision issues! Hopefully, the time will fly by and you will be seeing a healthy baby in Feb!

I had it with my twins. My blood pressure kept creeping up, and I was put on modified bedrest at about 32 weeks. At my 36 week checkup I had 3+ protein in my urine, got admitted, and when my labs came back I was informed I'd be having babies that night!

Mag Sulfate is a vile, evil thing, but a necessary vile, evil thing. My twins were 5 lb 8oz and 5 lb 3 oz and healthy so all's well that ends well I guess!

They're 21 months now and wear me out!
