A4. Pre-eclampsia does not mean you have to put your future family plans on hold. If you have a bad experience, you can work with specialists who can advise you on risks in future pregnancies. #Preeclampsiachat

[Joseph Russell @Joe__Russell]

A4. If you have experience of pre-eclampsia, do not be afraid to share your knowledge and experience so mothers and future mothers are aware. Awareness and diagnosis is key to good outcomes. #preeclampsiachat

[Joseph Russell @Joe__Russell]

A4. Trust your instincts, if something doesn’t feel right, ask and ask again. Do not leave it unanswered and never be afraid to question or challenge the health care professionals. #Preeclampsiachat

@OBSevidence Should mothers who experience prolonged blood pressure issues after birth seek specialist advice? #Preeclampsiachat

[Joseph Russell @Joe__Russell]

A3. Following birth, blood pressure issues can remain for up to 6 months afterwards. In our case it was 3 months. It remains to be seen what the ultimate long term impact will be in 20 years but there is higher risk of stroke and cardio vascular disease. #preeclampsiachat

If you are diagnosed with pre-eclampsia does that mean delivery should be straight away or can the pregnancy be extended to allow the baby to grow? #preeclampsiachat

[Joseph Russell @Joe__Russell]

A2. If you need help in finding expert advice and you suspect it is pre-eclampsia, @APEC_UK can help point you in the right direction #Preeclampsiachat

[Joseph Russell @Joe__Russell]

A1a. Pre-eclampsia doesn't end with birth, blood pressure issues and other complications can persist especially in the first 48 hours after birth. For us, that was the most dangerous time. #Preeclampsiachat

[Joseph Russell @Joe__Russell]

A1a. Lots of the symptoms can be similar to how a woman would feel in late-stage pregnancy. If pre-eclampsia shows in the later weeks it makes it harder to diagnose. #Preeclampsiachat

[Joseph Russell @Joe__Russell]

A1. Swollen face may mean you do not recognise yourself. Photos from that time look completely different from before the diagnosis. #Preeclampsiachat

[Joseph Russell @Joe__Russell]

A1. Blurry vision could be flashing or seeing stars or just changes in your vision. A real change to how you would normally see things. #Preeclampsiachat

[Joseph Russell @Joe__Russell]

A1. Apart from your midwife testing urine and blood pressure, you could feel some of the following: feeling sick, diarrhoea and vomiting, blurry vision, headaches, pain under ribs, swollen hands, feet and face, pain in upper back. #Preeclampsiachat
