This sounds like Preeclampsia. See your Dr. immediately! Preeclampsia is a not very common (about 5 -7% of births), but it is not something to mess around with. It can be very dangerous to you, and of course, your baby!! I would definately see your Dr. ASAP!!!

Good luck!

Maybe preeclampsia? Pregnancy-induced high blood pressure? Diabetes?

I don't know but I'd call your dr today.

Please let us know because now I'm curious! Hope you're both well.
