Heartburn is not a sign of preeclampsia. The main signs are elevated blood pressure and pitting edema in your extremities (swelling that leaves indentations if you press it with your fingers). If you are having abdominal pain and these other signs see your doctor immediately! Good luck. (BTW I did have heartburn so badly when I was pregnant that I considered going to the ER! Take some tums)

If you're pregnant and in that much discomfort, it's always a good idea to see a doctor about it. I had heartburn when I was pregnant, both times, so bad I had to sleep sitting up some nights. But never so bad that I was in severe pain. See your doctor for your own peace of mind.

Not so bad that I wanted to go to the hospital, but it has put me in tears. I have decided Tums are the best thing anyone has ever invented. Are you having upper abd. pain or just plain old heartburn? I think you are right in calling the doctor if you are worried, he will ease you mind better than we can.

When i was about 20 weeks pregnant I woke up with heart burn so bad that i didnt want to move, I went to the hospital and they gave a GI cocktial. It had a numbing medicine in it and when i drunk it , it helped immedialty. It also had a pain medicine in it that put me to sleep. I am not sure about the preeclamsia. Good luck

It may be gas believe it or not. Try taking some Tums (yes it is safe). If that doesn't help subside the symptoms, check with your physician.
