protein in urine ???
So I just got back from my 32wk check up and doctor said I had alot of protein in my urine which could mean preeclampsia however my blood sugar is not high and you have to have both high BS and protein in urine.. Still I'm pretty nervous. She gave me this huge jug and I have to do a 24hr urine test and blood work.. Anyone else experience this ? I heard it can be pretty dangerous ! :(
I know this is kinda off topic and you may not remember giving me advice on the ALL WATER CHALLENGE , you told me that a little over a month ago and I did it and tommorrow I will be 6wks pregnant. & I just wanted to say thanks fr the advice..!! ?☺️?? congratulations on your upcoming arrival , hopefully I'm having a boy too..
@bsmith yeah hopefully it doesn't happen again and if it does your at term. I know its hard to worry due to your history but you know every pregnancy is different. This one may not give you any problems (: and I'm having a boy !
@kim well they need to figure out ASAP! are u home or did u stay at the hospital ?
PrettyCityy - Actually today my blood pressure has been all over the place. I've been laying down for most of the day and one reading I had was 100/56(!!!)... I was so shocked!! But also had 120/90. Not really sure how much Labetalol brings your BP down.
They still don't know what to do with me so I have to wait and see what the top consultant says about it tomorrow.
Let us know when you have an update :)
Did they mention anything about preeclampsia this time around ?? Hopefully that won't be an issue for you again , what are you having ??
And thank you , same to you (:
Oh wow !! That's definitely a blessing ! I'm happy they both were healthy ! Are u currently expecting ?
@bsmith wow 35wks! Did they induce you or was it a c section? Did she have to stay in the hospital for a few weeks ? I'm so afraid to have him before at least 37wks. This is my first so I'm paranoid about everything lol.
@kim oh no.. Hopefully everything is ok.. But if you have to stay at least you'll be closely monitored.. How is your blood pressure now ?,
Think I spoke to soon about myself!
I had wondered why the hospital were keeping me in (was getting conflicting stories from different doctors) but a doctor this morning said they think I'm in the early stages of pre eclampsia and that I may have to stay here until the baby is delivered! :(
I'll be seeing the consultant this afternoon to find out more and to see if he wants me to stay or not. I may get lucky and get discharged because I only live 10mins away from the hospital!
Oh ok I wasnt sure which one , I get them confused lol. But I'm afraid to get induced. . it's way too early! Hopefully everything is ok.. I'm praying my BP doesn't raise. I've never had an issue with that .
The other day I had 4+ protein in my urine as well as blood pressure of 126/102 (and I take medication to bring BP down). Next urine sample was 2+ protein and BP 110/100 (which they said is strange as there's only a 10 number difference). However the PET blood tests all came back fine, so I wasn't diagnosed.
I've been being monitored for pre e since 25 weeks as I have pregnancy induced hypertension and consistently have traces of protein in my urine. I'm now 30 weeks.
I've been at the hospital all week and they're keeping a close eye on everything, but all looks normal-ish (for me!) now.
Try not to worry too much :)
@pand I had swelling in my ankles and feet for the first time last night and thought it was normal as well. I'm 110lbs literally ALL belly so I thought it was normal.. Now I'm not so sure. My blood pressure/sugar is not high though so I'm thinking I may be ok ??.. Luckily you were at term. I'm not :( but ima pray about it.. No stress I know that's not good for my blood pressure ?!.
Well...I'm a diabetic and with my last pregnancy they did say I had a lot of protein in my urine and high blood pressure. So they had me do the 24 hour urine collection twice. It sucked but I'm grateful I was 39 weeks when the pre-eclampsia came around (characterized for me by horrible swelling in my feet, ankles and legs. People were telling me the swelling was normal for being 39 weeks but I didn't feel right about it so I went to hospital and they ended up admitting me so they could induce due to pre-eclampsia).
So yeah I had to do the urine collection twice. I wouldn't stress about it though. My faith & not stressing is what got me through everything. Just try to eat everything in moderation -not too much sodium (but don't avoid sodium unless Dr says so) and not too much sugary foods (again not avoiding sugar unless Dr recommends it). Most of all don't stress or worry because that Can shoot your blood pressure up!
so my last appointment they found protein in my urine, trace of blood and my blood pressure was high. well now I'm starting to get blurred vision ( were I can't even see) and spots in my eyes. And then it will go away. also I haven't been able to eat and now I've lost alot of weight and now weighing 114. anyone have any ideas of what's going on
Has anyone on here ever experienced preeclampsia? Today my blood pressure was a little high and there was protein in my urine. Just curious as to what happens next! I have to go back to the doctor on Friday
I had my 32 week check up today. My doctor seemed to be a little concerned because today for the first time during my whole pregnancy my blood pressure was high and found some protein in my urine. I have to do a 24 hour urine collect till Friday morning and then Friday afternoon go have a ultrasound done and get my blood drawn and blood pressure check again. Had this happened to anyone else? I'm scared that it's going to lead to my son coming early.
‼️QUESTION‼️
I have been monitoring my blood pressure but I was wondering what is "too high" for the top number and "too high" for the bottom number also what's a good heart rate average
Yayyyyy Congrats @bunnie !!! ???????im so happy for you !!! ((: I messaged you btw !!
