24 hour urine test??

Question

Okay so I am almost 32 weeks and I had an OB appointment yesterday and my blood pressure was slightly elevated and has been creeping up for the last month. My docs said they weren’t really concerned to much but wanted to do the 24 hr urine test as well as some blood work. This is my first child and I am really freaking out, they said if it gets worse or depending on my results they would have to induce me early 😔 has anyone else taken this test and been told they were okay? I’m really freaking out

Answer

I’ve had this done in the beginning of my pregnancy because I have high blood pressure. They are just making sure you are leaking protein and that’s what’s causing your blood pressure to be elevated. Stop eating processed foods while pregnant, and limit your salt intake and drink plenty of water. Try not to eat more than 1100 mg of sodium per day.

Answer

I did the 24 hour urine twice with my first pregnancy. I also had two overnight hospital stays prior to delivering at 33 weeks because although my urine came back fine and I had no major preeclampsia symptoms other than swelling, my BP kept going up. Finally, they did blood work and discovered my kidneys and liver were shutting down, so baby had to come out. It can change really fast, so keep an eye on yourself and if you feel bad, say something. Currently 33 weeks with baby #2, and BP is creeping up again, but doctor isn’t bothering with the 24 hour urine and just went straight to blood work. I’ll know Thursday if I need to be worried. Fingers crossed that I can go a bit longer.

Answer

Answer

Just did my 24test yesterday (30w5d)  I have had slightly higher BP for all my visits but no other symptoms. My Doctor doesn't seem worried. Just wants to me watch for any of the Pre-E symptoms and to relax. He assumes I might have had Hypertension before pregnancy or it can be anxiety related. 
It's stressful knowing that I'm ok now but can suddenly overnight become high risk. And there is nothing you can do but sit and wait and hope you make it full term fine 😥😥😥 
I'm indulging in some sweets and cuddles to pass the time and to not think about the whatifs.

Answer

I just had to do a 24 hour and blood work because of higher bp. Just got the results back a few days ago that everything came back normal. They just gave me a list of symptoms to keep an eye out for just in case.  I wouldnt stress until they give you something to worry about. It wont help your bp.
