The reason for my postis not to sscare but to educate others about the seriousness of the disease and highlight the
warning signs. For a disease so common (according to my research) I think I was failed by my gynae. Don't get me wrong, I don't blame her but I am now telling u what she shud have told me; which is: SWELLING IS EXPECTED IN PREGNANCY. HOWEVER, IF U SWELL IN THE HANDS AND FACE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE GET UR URINE TESTED FOR PROTEIN TRACES AND UR BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKED.
