Welcome to the forums. PE can be very unpredictable, some women only develop mild symptoms and limp along for a while, while others get sick severely very fast. Here is a list of all the symptoms to watch out for:
http://www.preeclampsia.org/signs-and-symptoms Not all of them have to present, nor show up on in any particular order. The diagnostic criteria for PE is BP of 140/90 or greater, measured on two separate occasions six hours apart and proteinuria of >300 mg in a 24-hour urine collection.
What have the doctors said? What are your daughters BP readings and has she she been put on BP medication? The good news is that she is already far along, so if anything looks bad, I would think that doctors would not hesitate to deliver. Please watch out for headaches that won't go away with Tylenol, high BP readings, visual changes, flu-like feeling, sudden weight gain, vomiting, swelling in face and hands,upper right quadrant pain or pain in the shoulder blade area. If any of these show up, don't hesitate to be seen to be evaluated. We are here to help answer as many questions as possible. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
