Hi, If you are feeling unwell or feel 'different' with your pregnancy, get in touch with you GP asap, or ring 111 for advice and help. I hope you are okay ?

Thank you, was looking for more what people have experienced and not what was on Google as we no what Google is like lol x
 
My daughter did. Mainly high blood pressure but also swollen feet and ankles. She had to go to hospital every other day for last 2 weeks for tests. Was about to be induced but went into labour naturally the night before.
 
Most cases of pre-eclampsia are picked up at the regular ante-natal checks. This is generally before the woman experiences any symptoms so it is important to attend all ante-natal appointments. Raised blood pressure and protein in the urine are the classic signs but if you experience symptoms between appointments, it's important to call your GP immediately. The page mentioned by Robinredbreast is a good quality information source as it is an NHS page: http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Pre-eclampsia/Pages/Symptoms.aspx
 
I have posted in the pregnancy page? Thank you for your help... But like I say I just wanted to know anyone's personal experiences. Thank you @Concordjan
 
I had pre eclampsia. I had horribly swollen legs and felt very sick.
 
Hi @Finley02 i had pre eclampsia with my 2 yr old. Mega high bp, swollen ankles/feet and face. My insulin requirements dropped significantly. Had to go in everyday for tests and decided to induce early (she was prem) but ended up having emergency section as her heart rate was failing xx
