I got my results back from my 24 hour urine and she said that my protein level was 119 and that after 300 is when they consider it preeclampsia so I am good on that, but she said it more than likely is just gestational hypertension which is caused by the pregnancy itself. She said just keep a check and watch for sever headaches that won't go away with Tylenol, black dots in my vision or if I just feel really really bad just to give them a call because I could go from being fine to preeclampsia real quick. I am so thankful that everything turned out good. Thanks for all the support ladies!!!❤❤

I hate the 24 hr test! Who wants to pee in a thing, pour it into a jug and put it in the fridge for a whole day! I did one two weeks ago and they DIDN'T test for protein! Which was the while point! So I gotta do it again tomorrow! Lol good luck with your blood pressure etc! :]

@halifax6 oh wow. I would be furious. Usually I couldnt stop peeing but as soon as I started collecting I swear its like I never had to go. And thank you I just hope it stays down. I have been having to go back to the doctor for 3 weeks straight now when I'm suppose to be going every other weeks and I live like am hour away. Good luck with yours as well!!

Oh man! That really sucks that you have to drive! I hope that it stays down, too! Is this a pregnancy thing or do you usually have high blood pressure ? I had it previously and they are making me go in every 4 weeks right now to monitor it. Last time on the meds, it was 130/80 and that is AMAZING for me! Hopefully yours will remain low! Fingers crossed.

@halifax6 no I have never had I blood pressure before this pregnancy, not even with my first. But I have had a lot of problems with this pregnancy from the start. My last blood pressure check was 151/72.

That's way high! When I went in for my first apt, I was off my meds( for years) and it was 167/101 and they made me get on meds. Lol which I knew I would anyway. Now my scalp tingles cause of the meds. Did they put you in something?

@halifax6 oh wow. And no ma'am they just told me to watch it.
