pre eclampsia question

So at my drs appointment on Thursday he sent me to labor and delievery because my pressure was up and I was dizzy and swollen but at the hospital my pressure came down and my bloodwork came back normal. Now my fingers are swollen and I'm still getting terrible headaches and the tips of my fingers are numb. I don't want to call OB doctor and be one of those people who go to labor and delievery for everything but my question is did any of you ladies have bloodwork that came back normal and you had pre eclampsia

  • I say go in. The symptoms seem like pre eclampsia. Who cares what others think if you go in all the time to get checked!! It can be life & death. Ask yourself this.... would you rather care what a nurse says or your babys life. Swollen & numb fingers are never good pregnant or not.

  • You need to go asap. the symptoms are symptoms of pre-eclampsia! Very dangerous for both of you. it can come on at anytime!! good luck. keep us updated

    Well I hope everything turns put okay with you and ur baby, good luck,
    Being on bed rest and hooked into iv for so long is rele starting to suck
  • Im suprised they havent done a 24 hour urine test to see how much protein you have in your urine. Or have they? Thats what they did for me. It sounds like you have it. That dr should have admitted you.
