I am 28 weeks pregnant and have just been to doctor and my blood pressure was 150/90 and there was protein in my urine. They have taken blood and are ringin me back at 5pm with the results.  The doctor said I may have pre-eclampsia which would mean early labour.  I have got home and am now very anxious.  Would early labour mean now? Or jsut bed rest
HI, Thanks for the query under Chat Doctor.  I have read & understood your concern.  * Preeclampsia is a critical condition in pregnancy, which is liable to turn in Clamps which has risk for mother as well as baby. So once pre-eclampsia is noted, doctor tries his best to control the situation & avoid further complication.  But in case there is no response to palliative treatment. Delivery of the baby remains the only sure treatment to control blood pressure & avoid complications. Of course the decision induction/ LSCS is taken with balancing the fetal viability & possible risk.  * Apart from this pre-eclampsia itself can cause premature deliver .on its own.  ** So the possibility of early delivery can be guessed by the known course of the condition itself , & one has to be prepared to accept it, and try to control the symptoms & prolong delivery as far as possible.  Still, no control of blood pressure / albumin inspire of treatment ascertains early delivery.  Thanks.
