Has anyone else been required to do a 24 hour urine sample? I went in today for my apt (32 weeks 5 days) and the Dr said my blood pressure was up so they were going to do blood work. Well I went to the lab to have the blood work done and they handed me a jug I said what is that for? The tech said they aren't sure what she's testing for bc it tests for many different things. I asked if I could ask the doctor why I have to do this and they said she was in a meeting now. So I'm just wondering if anyone knows what the Dr could be looking for or if it's standard... I don't mind at all about doing it just don't understand why I am doing it lol.

Yeah but other then your pressure being up they usually just do it to check creatinine levels and protein that i know of ...

That's what I was thinking for the site I looked at was they could be looking for protein. @bri61217

Well since your blood pressure was up they could be testing for protein in case of preeclampsia... but i had to do it and my blood pressure has been good so far ...
