Hi there. I had pre-eclampsia from 32 weeks but I think they will only start to be concerned if you have a combination of things. I didn't realise there was so many symptons. The fact that your blood presure if perfectly normal is great! Congratulations on your pregnancy!

Not true. If BP was high without other symptoms then this would be worrying, similarly with proteinurea (and I am not talking a trace) in the absence of raised BP. This is why it is paramount to seek professional advice.

Dont wanna worry you but I had protein and high blood presure for 1 month, I then had to be induced 4 weeks early as my baby hadn't grown for 1 month. I wasn't told until after the birth of my daughter that i had pre eclampsia. She wasn't ill but small (5lb 2oz) and had to be in special care for 2 weeks and I had to stay too as I was still ill.

HAve the pm's put your mind at rest?

I would like to put forward my layman's view.If you are concerned about anything see your GP. You are not wasting their time if you are at all concerned make an appointment to discuss things and if you aren't happy ask for a second opinion.

Actually some of us are qualified, hence the reason for dealing with this querry by PM.

To be fair even though you might be qualified, you don't know the whole story, so you arn't qualified in this case. I wouldn't want to say any more than contact your own midwife and try not to worry. Doing it by PM hardly makes it right.

I've always had Protein and Leukosites (perhaps they're the same thing) in Urine - and Low BP. All my pregnancies have gone to term! no problems.

I know, I just don't think it's always appropriate, in this case it's not so bad prehaps, but if I advised someone everything was fine and the next day they turned around and it wasn't, then it'd be my professional neck on the line if you acted based on my advice.
