Preeclampsia?

Tricia

I know I should trust my NP, but Dr. Google is telling us to worry! After bout gaining weight the whole pregnancy, I gained 10 lbs between appt at 32 weeks and appt at 36 weeks. Then another 7 two weeks later (today at my 38 week appt). Edema in my lower legs, ankles, and feet that's starting to swell faster in one foot over the other. Trace protein in my urine (not +1, just trace).

My NP said because it's only trace protein, no facial swelling, no headaches, no dizziness, no vision changes, I'm borderline and will be fine to wait until next week's appt. But shouldn't borderline be cause for a little more concern?? Preeclampsia is serious business!
