Can I consume confinement herbs after delivery if I am diagnosed with preeclampsia?

I’m diagnosed with mild preeclampsia(high blood pressure and proteinuria) during week 30 of pregnancy. Would like to verify if I could consume the confinement herbs(confinement herbal soups and red dates tea) after delivery?#preeclampsia #confinement

I had the same condition as you at week 36. was induced at 39+5. gynea didn't mention there was any restrictions on diet. took confinement meals for 45 days along with red date tea daily. ps: my blood pressure immediately went to normal range once epidural was administered

Did any mummies had pre eclampsia while pregnant, when did you deliver? Is it possible to get HL from week 28 onwards just in case baby is born pre term? #newmom #adviceplease #pregnancy #preeclampsia

Narrow blood vessel

Just done with my 1st trimester detailed scan and the dr told me that I had a narrow blood vessel. This could lead to hypertension during pregnancy and issued me to take aspirin every night to prevent pre-eclampsia. Should I be worried? #firstmom #firsttimemom #preeclampsia

Hi mama! I had the same issue during my pregnancy. It's great that your doctor has already put you on low dosage aspirin for preventative measures, because once you get pre-eclampsia, aspirin no longer becomes a viable treatment option. Pre-eclampsia is also usually resolved when baby is delivered, which is why many of them are birthed premature to ensure mother's safety. Do diligently take the aspirin daily and quickly contact your gynae if you spot any signs of pre-eclampsia (headaches, vision loss etc). There were a few times I did forget to take - just resume the next day and don't panic! You may also want to get a blood pressure machine if that eases anxiety. Every time you go to the gynae clinic, they should also routinely check your blood pressure to monitor. I ultimately didn't even experience high blood pressure throughout pregnancy and baby is healthy at 2.95kg upon birth :)
