diagnosed at 24 weeks
I’m 24w5d, I was diagnosed with “preeclampsia without severe features ” today. I had a headache that lasted all week that would go away wit Tylenol but would come back. This morning I had some RUQ pain and decided to go to L&D. My initial bp was 168/76 but then normalized for the next few hours. They found some protein in my urine and diagnosed me with preeclampsia today. I feel like I knew this was going to happen I had chronic hypertension before I was pregnant but I started taking Procardia and low dose aspirin at 16 weeks and never noticed any spikes on my home monitor.
I’m really scared this is my first pregnancy which was completely unexpected and I’m only 23 years old. I’m afraid that me and my baby are going to die. Just looking for any similar stories or any advice that you guys may have. Checking in with my OB tomorrow to come up with a solid plan.
