If you swelled during pregnancy, what week did it start?
@raqueliiosiis that's a good trick for the cup! If I'm that big again I'll have to remember that!! 😄
@scidg3, ohhh lol I gave up on that I just pee as well as I can and try to catch as much as I can in that stupid cup 😂😂 I always have to use two cups to make sure I change the dirty cup to the “clean cup” 😂😂😂 I feel judged by giving them a cup all peed on haha. My OBs nurse is lazy and she just uses the machine 🤷🏼♀️ as long as my BP isn’t high at home the doctor isn’t worried too much about it. Although I’m sure if it changes or I have protein in my urine she’ll induce she already warned me with that.
@raqueliiosiis That is crazy! I like when they actually take it instead of a machine! It's less stressful 🤣 I meant trying to aim for the cup!! 😆🤣 But yes, they would find traces they said but act like it was never enough to send me to the hospital. 🤷 This time they also had me do a 24hr urine just to have numbers to go by so I'm glad about that.
@scidg3, I can take my BP in the parking lot when I leave work and once I get to the office I’ll take it at their parking lot and I’m at like 143/102 because I get nervous and I hate doctors offices. I’ve been tracking my BP at home since I was 15 weeks pregnant so I’m just glad the finish line is near. Yes they pay close attention to my pee when I go to the office checking for protein or something like that. Ehh it’s been a fun adventure. It makes sense about the multiples thing I would think if your body is working so much harder with one I can only imagine 3.
@raqueliiosiis that was me!!! 🤣 I would be like I just had to pee in a cup.... Yes it's high! 🤣🤣 It would be nice if I didn't, they have me taking aspirin and they told me because I was carrying multiples that could have caused it. So we shall see! I have an appointment Monday and I just go into panic mode.
@scidg3, that’s funny to me because I also never have high BP at home but at the doctors I spike like no other lol. Baby and I both hate doctors. Of course and who knows you may not even swell at all with this one.
@raqueliiosiis I have one, I never had high BP at home with my last pregnancy but had preeclampsia.... I'm not swelling yet but I couldn't remember when I started. But I know the 2 pregnancies are completely different.
@scidg3, mine has been minor swelling on my feet I would buy a blood pressure machine and check your blood pressure
@scidg3 haha with my boys was sooner but with my daughter I didnt really gain much until 26weeks lol
@lii94 @rebecca33 @raqueliiosiis @alice-quinnsmommy Thanks! I had preeclampsia with my last pregnancy but I can't remember when I started swelling.... I'm a bit paranoid this time around. 😄
I've only had swelling one time and that was at about 23 weeks.
@scidg3, lol that’s the best advice I was ever given by one of my pregnant friends it’s the best I could do 😂😂
