Current medical status: 7 months pregnant and in watch for possible preeclampsia again since it happened twice before in my other 2 pregnancies.
Current medical treatment: nothing yet

Stomach cramps and diarrhea are not signs of pre-eclampsia. They are signs of intestinal infection.

High blood pressure, swelling, and proteins in the urine in a pregnant woman are signs of pre-eclampsia.
