Elevated preeclampsia risk at week 21, what should I do
I went for the anomaly scan yesterday and was told that my risk for preeclampsia has increased to 1/68. It was estimated low at 12 weeks and the thing changed is the uterine artery Doppler reading (one side has high PI). To complicate the situation, the baby is also estimated at ~11th percentile, which is small but not extremely small. (I’m Asian btw and they say Asian mums can have smaller babies)
I was booked for extra scan at week 28 and week 32. But other than that I was given no treatment or warnings.
I’ve contacted my midwife and asked for aspirin, but they told me they usually give aspirin to people who are estimated high risk at 12 weeks, and now it’s too late for me for it to really help. She told me to monitor my symptoms.
My blood pressure is still normal at this point. I’m 36 and FTM so that may added to the risk.
I don’t know what more I can do at this moment and I’m just spiralling…
