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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
