So I went over my records at my hospital, I clicked on every urine test they did and noticed that traces of protein in my urine since I was week 14 and had 3 appointments that had traces since. So I dont know why but I have a feeling I may have, or be developing however this works, pre eclampsia, my mother had it her first pregnancy and my doctor told me I'm on "watch" for it at my second ob appointment. I dont have so many of the symptoms, and was wondering do the symtoms intensify as pregnancy progresses? Like what do they do to know you have it? My blood pressure is always great, my vision does sometimes get blurry for a few seconds but usually when I'm tired in bed so idk if that really counts? My one ankle swelling. I mean I dont know if I'm gaining weight normally personally, I feel like I am gaining a significant amount around my body the last couple weeks.. I have somehow managed to gain 18 pounds! And I honestly eat healthy and i really dont eat that much, really no more than before pregnancy the only difference is I do space my meals out and more or less snack every couple hours.. I was 100 pounds when I found out I was pregnant and I am now 118! Which I think may be a little much for only being 25 weeks tomorrow? Anyone with pre eclampsia would like to share their story of how they or their doctor diagnosed them I'd love to hear.. I'm thinking about bringing all of this up to her at my next appointment in a week..

They normally don't diagnose you with pre eclampsia until 20 weeks.

I have protein in mine, but I also need more water

@keelygeedy all I've heard was I'm being watched and then after my second appt my doctor got switched.. I think I'll just bring up my concerns of it.

@kendrab, I would defiantly ask. It's also a sign of diabetes also
Kendra·
@keelygeedy gosh I'm praying it's neither! Dont they usually do the test around 28 weeks? I wasnt told this appointment they are doing it for the gestational diabetes so I'm going to assume itll be my next appointment
Kendra·
@malbhurtado yes I read that too! Which kind of gives me hope I dont have it but with the small other things I believe it's worth bringing up, I'm not sure how they diagnose it or anything I would just rather be on the safe side with everything

@kendrab, yes they usually have you do it around 28 weeks. They will either say something at this appointment or if not this one defiantly the next.
