Does preeclampsia abdominal pain come and go?

Question

I'm pregnant and have been diagnosed with preeclampsia. Sometimes I get this strange abdominal pain, but it's not constant; it seems to come and go. Is it normal for preeclampsia abdominal pain to be intermittent?

Preeti Saxena · Accepted Answer

I had high BP during my pregnancy and panicked at every little ache in my belly. Sometimes it was just gas, but preeclampsia pain under the right ribs is usually a constant, severe ache rather than coming and going. Still, it is always best to let your doctor check it to be absolutely sure.

Preeclampsia pain, especially in the upper right side of your stomach, is a very serious symptom and usually feels like a persistent, deep ache. Please don't wait to see if it comes and goes. Call your gynecologist or head to the hospital immediately to get your blood pressure checked.

While deep breathing and gentle stretches can help with normal pregnancy backaches, abdominal pain related to preeclampsia is a medical issue that needs urgent attention. It is usually a steady pain in the upper abdomen. Please contact your doctor immediately to ensure you and the baby are safe.

I developed preeclampsia in my third trimester, and that upper abdominal pain was quite constant and didn't just fade away like normal gas. If you are pregnant and experiencing abdominal pain, check your BP at home right now and contact your doctor immediately. Do not ignore this.

Do not search for symptoms of preeclampsia on the internet or wait for someone's home remedy. Preeclampsia is a serious medical emergency that can escalate very quickly. If you have abdominal pain, blurred vision, or severe headaches, go straight to the nearest emergency room.
