Can I consume confinement herbs after delivery if I am diagnosed with preeclampsia?

I’m diagnosed with mild preeclampsia(high blood pressure and proteinuria) during week 30 of pregnancy. Would like to verify if I could consume the confinement herbs(confinement herbal soups and red dates tea) after delivery?#preeclampsia #confinement

I had the same condition as you at week 36. was induced at 39+5. gynea didn't mention there was any restrictions on diet. took confinement meals for 45 days along with red date tea daily. ps: my blood pressure immediately went to normal range once epidural was administered

Did any mummies had pre eclampsia while pregnant, when did you deliver? Is it possible to get HL from week 28 onwards just in case baby is born pre term? #newmom #adviceplease #pregnancy #preeclampsia

Please go see your gynae or O&G specialist as soon as possible, because pre-eclampsia is something that really needs proper monitoring and your doctor is the right person to advise on delivery timing and your HL. Your gynae can also guide you on what to prepare if baby does come early, so do not wait on this one.

Narrow blood vessel

Just done with my 1st trimester detailed scan and the dr told me that I had a narrow blood vessel. This could lead to hypertension during pregnancy and issued me to take aspirin every night to prevent pre-eclampsia. Should I be worried? #firstmom #firsttimemom #preeclampsia

Hi mama! I had the same issue during my pregnancy. It's great that your doctor has already put you on low dosage aspirin for preventative measures, because once you get pre-eclampsia, aspirin no longer becomes a viable treatment option. Pre-eclampsia is also usually resolved when baby is delivered, which is why many of them are birthed premature to ensure mother's safety. Do diligently take the aspirin daily and quickly contact your gynae if you spot any signs of pre-eclampsia (headaches, vision loss etc). There were a few times I did forget to take - just resume the next day and don't panic! You may also want to get a blood pressure machine if that eases anxiety. Every time you go to the gynae clinic, they should also routinely check your blood pressure to monitor. I ultimately didn't even experience high blood pressure throughout pregnancy and baby is healthy at 2.95kg upon birth :)

High risk pregnancy as a plus size woman and first time mom

Hi! Looking to see if there are any other mothers who gave birth and they were overweight. I am 131kg at 154cm and I was diagnosed with GDM and the doctor said i am at high risk for preeclampsia. These has me feeling a little worried but the scan shows that the baby’s heartbeat is great and healthy at 13 weeks. How was your birth process like? Did you have to be induced by 38 weeks or were you able to go through labour naturally? Or do you have to go through csect? I have these questions because I was wondering if I should just go subsidised all the way and give birth in B2 ward or if I should go private in my third trimester and give birth in B1. Oh, I am currently seeing the doctors at NUH. Thank you so much in advance! #firsttimemom #nuh #preeclampsia #GDM #plussizebirth

It's completely understandable to feel worried, but it's reassuring that baby's heartbeat is looking good at 13 weeks ❤️ Having a higher BMI and GDM does increase the risk of complications like preeclampsia, but it doesn't automatically mean you'll need an induction or c-sec. Many women with high-risk pregnancies still have straightforward vaginal births. The timing of delivery really depends on how your pregnancy progresses. If your blood sugars stay well controlled, your blood pressure remains normal, and both you and baby continue to do well, your team may let the pregnancy continue longer. If complications develop, they may recommend induction earlier for safety. As for B1 vs B2, if you're already happy with the care you're receiving at NUH, it's worth knowing that whether you're subsidised or private, the obstetric team follows the same clinical guidelines. Going private mainly gives you more continuity with the same doctor and additional comfort, rather than different medical care. Wishing you a smooth pregnancy ahead! It sounds like you're in good hands and being monitored closely, which is exactly what you'd want in a high-risk pregnancy ❤️
