HT, Protein in urine: The diagnosis of pre-eclampsia is suspected when the b/p reaches 140/90 for the first time during the pregnancy and there is a high level of protein in the urine ( 300 mg. Or more/24 hours). This signifies a decrease in organ perfusion and that means to the baby too. Close monitoring is imperative!

Headaches, high BP: 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

34 weeks and I had a trace of protein on and off through out my pregnancy. My blood pressure was always low normal but now today it was 120/70 and urine has 0.3 G/L protein. Is this a sign of slowly developing pre-eclampsia?
