Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication characterized primarily by high blood pressure and signs of damage to other organ systems, often the kidneys.
Identify common symptoms of preeclampsia, which include high blood pressure, protein in the urine (proteinuria), and edema (swelling), especially in the hands and face.
Recognize that an abnormally large fetus is not a symptom of preeclampsia; fetal size is generally not directly affected by this condition.
Compare each option given in the problem to the known symptoms of preeclampsia to determine which one does not fit.
Conclude that 'Abnormally large fetus' is the correct answer because it is not a symptom associated with preeclampsia.
