Thanks! I will ask my dr on Monday.

Quoting Dr. Mrs. The Monarch:" <blockquote><b>Quoting HamHam:</b>" Happy Monday, ladies! I hope you all had a nice ... [snip!] ... don't hesitate to call or go in if anything is bothering you. I lost my first daughter due to preeclampsia and neglegent drs."

This.
Undiagnosed early onset Pre-E was at the very least, a factor in why I lost my first daughter at 22.3 weeks.
I also had Pre-E starting at 35 weeks with my two year old, but my OB didn't consider me critical so I was scheduled for an induction at 39 weeks.
I use a blood pressure cuff that my mom used to use for her job to check my BP daily because of my history and it's been normal thus far.
but I also have a lot of the same symptoms when it comes to the nausea and headaches so I won't be shocked if it creaps back up in this pregnancy at some point.
Just keep an eye on it. Stay hydrated and try to rest as much as you can off your feet.
Keeping you in my thoughts, best of luck.

Aww momma I'm sorry. That sucks.
Oh the joys of pregnancy ey?

I just couldn't wait until next Monday to get my GD results so I called.
Negative!
*Breathes a sigh of relief*
Now lets just hope Pre-E either stays away all together, or doesn't show up until near the end like last time.
Keeping you GD and bed rest momma's in my thoughts. <3

I got my 3 hour GD results this morning and...I passed! Woot! Sugars were on the high side, but were within the "normal" range so I still should avoid sugary foods and carbs which will be hard for me since a large part of my diet is carb-based  

I wish Ninja was a more active baby. He makes me so worried sometimes. My greatest fear is that we have a cord accident and lose him

With my 1st Lilly around 34 weeks I had to do 24 hour since protein was found in my urine. Luckily it came back fine. But I know when you have GD you have a higher chance of having Pre-E

Glad you passed.
I have the same worry about cord accidents.
I've read horror stories on here. Sometimes Kira is quiet but I've felt her a good deal today so that puts my mind at ease for now.

Keeping my fingers crossed that you don't get Pre-E and that your GD stays managable

Normal. Every pregnancy is different but I've been particularly tired this time around. Probably because I have a two year old and a six year old to chase around. Lol
Congrats! Your first?

thanks ya its my first so i guess i just dont know what to expect but man this tiredness is kick my butt lol

I'm usually tired, but I work FT and have a 7 year old and 4 year old so it's par for the course. I only get at most 5 hours of sleep/night so that's part of the reason I'm tired too

I hear you. This pregnancy is sucking the energy out of me. Though I discovered I was anemic and took iron pills, I still feel and look tired!! I put on some eye cream lastnight to help reduce the puffiness and bags under my eyes...ended up having a reaction to that cream which made my eyes red, watery, and puffy. LOL!!!!

Heyyyyy ladies. Hope you're all doing great  So my BP has gone up to 155/100 and beyond since Monday's dr appt so I'm back at the clinic. The protein in my urine was plus 2 on Monday and its plus 4 today. Off to labor & delivery now for evaluation.

Any of you had this happen and still managed to keep things under control until closer to your due date? I'm about 32 weeks now. I had pre-e last time but things were not like this before. It was a pretty mild case last time and I made it to 35 weeks + 3 days before being induced. Hopefully this isn't too serious and I can still keep on keeping on later into the pregnancy.
