Hi all, I am 37 weeks with my 3rd. I did a 24 hour urine test last week and my results just came in today. I can't speak with my dr until Monday, but I'm wondering if I should be concerned or go into labor and delivery. I had severe pre-eclampsia with my 1st and I'm afraid of getting it again. Are these results normal,high, too high?! I feel horrible 24/7 and I'm wondering if this is why.
Re: 24 hour urine, possible pre-E?
I would hold off on heading to LD, all they will do is call your OB and wait for their response. It will save you time, energy and hassle just to call them directly.
If you have questions, you should be consulting your doctor. You're paying them to give you answers and care for you. Put that money to good use.
@Knottie1436481120 gave good advice that can be found easily enough online (and was the only responsible advice to give in this situation, which is for OP to all her doctor).

lol at all of that. It's irresponsible and UNETHICAL to be giving medical advice to pregnant women over the internet that you do not know. If she chooses to take bad advice given to her by a "medical professional" on an Internet forum, guess who can be held liable for that? And you're assuming that I don't have a medical degree as well, which I do, so there's that, too.

Yeah, almost done with my MSN for FNP, with experience in Women's Health.
I stand by what I said. It is unethical and irresponsible to give medical advice on an Internet forum. I am not looking at you (the patient), nor am I reading the chart after completing a H&P.
Contacting your provider is the best option. Period. They have a been view of the whole story.
