Emotional Today

When mild preeclampsia becomes severe...

Here are the symptoms of severe preeclampsia:
* Constant, severe headaches
* Blurred vision or spots in front of your eyes (called scotomata)
* Sensitivity to light
* Lethargy
* Nausea and vomiting
* Severe swelling
* Sudden weight gain of more than a pound a day
* Pain in the upper right side of your abdomen
* Shortness of breath
* Brisk reflexes (called hyperreflexia)

The italicized symptoms are ones I am experiencing.
