I am 36 weeks pregnant and have preeclampsia. I woke up this morning laying on my back and when I turned to my side I got severe pain in my entire abdomen and lower back and everything got very tight. This lasted for a minute or two then never came back. Is this normal?

There's really no way to judge if it is normal or not. What's severe pain for you, may be just a twinge for someone else. There's no scale when it comes to pain, it's individual.

If you're concerned, see your doctor. We really can't tell you what's going on online.

Good luck.
