Pre-E? Update from earlier

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh..... *sigh*

After all those b/p issues from earlier today...

I decided to take a nap in case I have to go to L&D to meet my new little nephew and woke up to puffy hands, puffy feet and I'm really hoping that this doesn't get any worse.  I'm hoping to drink a ton of water and wake up all better. I really dont need this right now. I'm so mad!

    Keep in mind that the puffy feet and hands are also normal at this part in the pregnancy :)  I have pre-e and called because I thought I was getting too swelled up and they told me that they would be most concerned if it got to the point where you couldn't see the bridge of my nose, if that helps any....I'm sure they will call you if they find the protein in your urine :)  Congrats on the new nephew btw!

    They didn't do urine since I was at the hospital for the NST and u/s only and not as a patient.  And my b/p had gone up to as high as 162/102.  

    I'm waiting to pee (decreased urine? hoping not!) so that I can dip my urine and check for protein.  I chugged 1/2 gallon of water so far and no need to pee.  Awesome!  Grrrrr.....

    I am not sure how your levels have been, but my last pregnancy I swelled like a marshmallow!  I did not have pre-e.  hang in there...good news is that swelling will go away soon in a few weeks.

    Sorry they found protein in your urine.  Did they say how much?  Under 200mg my doctor said he just counts as a random protein spill but keeps a closer watch for it in the future.  I'm spilling 500mg normally and I'm on bedrest, but otherwise things have been fine.  Keep thinking positive thoughts!
