BP up and down, and protein in urine.
My BP has been up and down for weeks, and I've been gaining about 2-4 lbs a week for a month now. I had a headache yesterday that wouldn't go away, accompanied by abdominal pain so I called the OB and they had me come in for a BP check. It was a little higher than normal, but not bad and I'm starting to show traces of protein in my urine. My labs were all normal on friday, so I've been told I need to take it easy as much as possible. They're hoping I'll go into labor on my own before things get out of control. I really want to avoid an induction! Keep your fingers crossed for me, and send some labor dust my way!

Re: BP up and down, and protein in urine.
I hear ya! My doctor has been watching my BP for a few weeks now, and I've been taking it at home, too. It seems to be slowly creeping up, and even though my labs and urine tests have been okay, I am so worried--- I really want a natural birth, so I want to avoid an induction!
T&Ps coming your way... hopefully you'll go into labor on your own very soon!
