i had preeclampsia with my son. all it took was a urine test for them to identify. you swell up all over too with it and my face was very swolen when they induced my labor. they check the amount of protein in your urine and if you have too much of it they run about two more urine tests where you pee in a bucket thing for 24 hours cause if it goes up so high you have to be induced for the danger it does you and the baby. mine wasn't allowing sky to gain weight and he was already practicing breathing for labor at 34 weeks. they induced me at 35 weeks and he was 4 lbs 2 oz when we left. when i had preeclampsia i felt hot all over and dizzy. especially when i showered or stood for very long. the point is though is that i was having the symptoms of preeclampsia for months before it came on full force symptoms like yours. the best thing that you can do is rest and rest a lot. stress brings it on that's how mine came on so you just need to not worry about it because they check your urine and every time you have an appointment that's one of the things they check for. as long as you don't have a high enough protein count in your urine you should be okay. when i had sky mine was so bad i couldn't see him until the next morning at i had him at 4:13 p. m. all you can do is take it easy. they'll let you know if you get into the danger zone that's one thing they check for every time you pee in the little cups they give you. i really hope this settles your fears. stress brings it on so try and relax for now.
