    Preeclampsia
    28.5 weeks pregnant. Yesterday had 140/84 BP and protein in urine. Normal BP is 110/70. Admitted for observation, BP went down and follow-up test showed no protein in urine.

    Today told it is not preeclampsia, probably anemia. BP 124/80, no protein in urine.

    Having symptoms: pain behind sternum/up in ribs and when it happens, it's hard to breathe, headache that won't go away, dizzy, seeing spots/blurry vision.

    Midwife rx: more iron, previcid. Told it will take at least 2 weeks to get the anemia under control, and not to worry about headache blurry vision.

    Am still concerned that it's more than anemia.
