PE scare
Hello all...
Well, yesterday (Sunday) I went to the doctor convinced that I had the onset of pre-eclampsia. I had severe pre-eclampsia with my first, and I am very scared that I am going to get it again. (I am aware that because I had it with one doesn't mean that I will get it with #2.) I didn't have PE! At 8 months pregnant, my hands have recently started swelling. I had to take off my wedding ring because it was getting difficult to get it on and off, and I was afraid of it getting stuck. Actually not bad considering that my wedding ring came off with #1 when I was only 5 months pregnant. Then yesterday, I had a migraine. I get migraines. However, the pain was really bad, and it didn't seem to be going away. So, I told my DH that I thought I was getting pre-eclampsia again. He suggested we go to a doctor and get my urine and BP checked. We called my doctor's office. It is only open for 1 hour on Sunday between 10am-11am. Luckily, we caught the doctor before he left for the day. He told us to come right in. So we did. He checked my BP and urine. Urine was clear, and BP was normal for me -- 90/60. I have always had really low BP. No other signs of PE. Doctor said it was probably just a regular migraine. If the migraine didn't go away to back in the first part of the week. Otherwise, he wants me to come back at the end of the week. So, I went home, and on the doctor's advice, I took more medication for the migraine. I slept for 2 hours, and when I woke up, the migraine was basically gone. It did come back in the evening, but this morning, all signs of the migraine are gone. -- Daye Momma to Jayan "Boy" EDD 11 Jan 2004 See Jayan: http://jayan.topcities.com/ |

I'm *so* pulling for you to avoid it this time. (I ran into a woman IRL who had it with all four of her pregnancies, with two deliveries at 34 weeks and two at term. Made me more paranoid.) I'm curious; did they do a placental artery scan for you, or put you on aspirin? -- C, mama to one year old nursling |
