Did anyone have to pee in a jug for 24 hours and refrigerate it till their appointment the next day to test for preeclampsia? I've had high blood pressure the past few times and everything has came back normal now they want me to test my urine.
I've done it before. It's a pain, but it doesn't hurt to check. I don't have pre-eclampsia this time, just high blood pressure, but they're delivering my baby tomorrow at 37 weeks because of it so it doesn't develop into pre-eclampsia.
yeah, I did. they are testing for proteins in your urine. the first time I did it it came back with a few proteins in it, so they made me do it again 2 weeks later and they determined I had preeclampsia because there was so many proteins the second time I had to do it. I had to be induced into labor at 38 weeks.
