I had extreme swelling in my hands and feet from 20 weeks onwards, "spots" in my eyes, protein in urine, dizziness and a couple of other things happening which I can't rememberoff the top of my head right now, all of which pointed to PE - I had normal blood pressure, however my entire life I have had low blood pressure so normal BP was high for me if that makes sense... All my Midwives were worried and suspected PE but I didn't actually get a diagnosis because of my "normal" blood pressure..

When I went into Labour, my waters broke & contractions started but slowed and weren't progressing once I got to the Birthing Suite, they took my BP then and it was through the roof, they then diagnosed me with Pre Eclampsia and said they weren't willing to wait things out, my Ob "strongly advised" me to agree to being put on the synto to get things moving... Took me a while to agree but I did in the end as I started to get a bit worried when my BP kept rising and my pro natural birth midwife was saying "Lovey, maybe we should put that drip in now..?" I had a beautiful healthy little man, (who is right now giggling and chatting with the computer screen as I type haha cheeky boy!) My BP took a day or two to go down, no other dramas and all went well

So anyway, avery long way of saying yes I think it is possible to have PE with normal BP haha - Well, it happened to me anyway! Just keep an eye on things and if you're in doubt, don't mess around, you rather feel silly for overreacting than underreacting in this case iykwim?


Best of Luck!! xx
