A member asked:
Any ideas if i can have preeclampsia with a blood pressure of 116/86?

Yes: If this is higher than your normal blood pressure. Preeclampsia is diagnosed by elevated BP, protein in the urine and swelling. Talk to your doctor.

Highly Unlikely: 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
