Go immediately to the hospital, this could be preeclampsia and could be necessary to deliver now

Agree with Dr Douglas, and equally concerned. This should not be "brushed off", as pre-eclampsia is high risk, and the swelling (edema), and migraines (secondary to hypertension), are initial signs of trouble. Yes, be seen today!!
