3rd Trimester
Bad 37wk appt
I went in for my 37 week appt today and it was not good. I had protein in my urine, so they had the nurse give me a catheter to get another sample. It took her 3 tries to get it in. She said she was having trouble since I was so swollen down there. It was painful, I've never had that done before while awake. My urine came back with protein again. Now I have to do a 24hr urine collection. If it still comes back positive, I will be induced this weekend.

Re: Bad 37wk appt
Good grief!!! I would have just asked for some water and waited as long as it took to get another sample to them. That is nuts!
Sorry you had such a bad one!
This. Everyone knows pregnant women can produce urine every 10 minutes! LOL! But seriously, sorry, that must have sucked.
Sorry to hear this, hope it all turns out ok, GL!
That funny I just has my 36 week apt and I also have protein in my urine and high blood pressure
I spend 3 hours in the hospital but they just sent me home! Thank god...
