Pain in upper abdomenal ??PE??

[~Britney~]

With my last pregnancy i was induced just before 37 weeks due to PE, at my last check up 24 weeks my blood pressure was high and since then I have had swelling and pain in the upper abdomen the pain is getting worse each day to. I have a appt on fri with midwife but my question is do you think it could be the begining of PE again? Is there more chance of having 2nd time round?

If your abdo pain is in the right upper side, I would go to your midwife now. Do you have any other signs of PE? Headaches. vision disturbance?
I would rather go in and be checked out now than wait. Better to be safe than sorry.

If you have had PE before then you are at a higher risk of having it again.

If you are worried about the pain i would go to the hospital today and get checked out.

I've had pre-eclampsia twice now and was well looked after in my last pregnancy.
When i got to 30weeks pg with Alex i ended up withweekly appt's just so they could keep an extra eye on me.

Mummy,
It's liver pain.
PE causes your liver function to become irratic.
You need to go to the hospital and get checked out.
