Is it possible for you to get preeclampsia at 10 weeks pregnant?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes but unlikely: Preeclampsia usually presents in the end of the pregnancy in first time moms. With this being said it is possible to present with preeclampsia this early. The thing is often times when women presents with symptoms this early they are attributed to other causes like preexisting conditions such as lupus, renal failure, diabetes or high blood pressure.

No: Sometimes abnormal placentas begin to breakdown at 20wks, leading to exposure of mom to some of dad's placental genes and lead to an "allergic" reaction where the vessels spasm and platelets are drawn away (thrombocytopenia). The spasm causes high BP, HA, liver dysfunction, vision changes, and protein in the urine; leads to maternal seizure, decreased baby growth, and sometimes placental abruption
