Getting Worried...

mummy2girls wrote: I may have to phone the OB office... I have been showing high blood pressure on my last appointment, ( 135/89)it wasn't too high just high normal. But because I am showing protein in my urine already and the weight gain i had in 6 weeks( i gained 12 pounds in 6 weeks) They are watching me. I don't have badly swelled hands, and feet. At least I don't notice anything. Well today i stepped on a scale when i woke up and it shows i gained 7 pounds in 1 week. I'm not pigging out on food, and I'm eating like I have always eaten.I even added more water into my diet and less juice. more fruits and veggies and less sugary junk. and not adding salt to my meals and avoiding foods that have alot of salt in them. This weight gain is probably water retention but that is another symptom that is not good. Because with high blood pressure, protein in urine, swelled limbs and abnormal gain is signs of pre-eclampsia. I know you can have a mild case and still go term with the baby but will probably induce early because the pressure gets worse with this. But in rare cases it can turn into eclampsia which is bad! So im going to get my blood pressure checked and if its high or higher than last week then im calling the office... I'm worried because this never happened until i was 7 months along with Jenna and Jordan.

When do you find out the gender? Or did you already find out, and I missed it somehow? Or are you not finding out?
Update soon!

Sam & Abby's Mom replied: You look so great Shelly! There is nothing prettier than a pregnant belly.

lisar replied: Have you called the dr. I had pre-eclampsia with Lexi and that aint nothing to play with. I hated the med they put me on though for it. I didnt get it until about 2 weeks before I was scheduled for my c-section. But just those 2 weeks were H E double L on me. Go get checked.
