No Beautiful Madness you're totally right, hypertension (high blood pressure) IS a symptom of pre-eclampsia, but they usually confirm it with other things too. Like you can have a bit of protein in your urine, or you can have high BP, or you can be a bit swollen, but two or more together can be a sign of PE, and then they do the blood test to confirm. Not wrong at ALL!
