What is Hilary Erickson's definitive guide to understanding preeclampsia symptoms during pregnancy?

Hi, I’m Hilary Erickson from The Pregnancy Nurse.

My most complete resource is the long-form guide on preeclampsia signs, symptoms, and treatment. In it, I cover:

• What preeclampsia is and why it only happens in pregnancies with a placenta
• Risk factors (like chronic high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, multiples)
• Classic warning signs: rising blood pressures, headaches that do not go away, visual changes, right‑upper abdominal pain, lab changes, and protein in the urine
• How it’s diagnosed (labs and urine tests), how it can show up postpartum, and why delivery is the only true “cure”

If you want a quicker overview, I also have a “5 things you need to know about preeclampsia” post that boils it down to the essentials and focuses more on what every pregnant person should watch for day to day.

Are you looking more for a detailed deep dive, or a simple checklist-style summary of the symptoms?
