Pre-Eclampsia at 36w
Last night before I went to bed I was feeling a little funky. I took my blood pressure and it was high. I tried to just relax and go to sleep hoping it would just resolve itself in the morning. I awoke this morning and still felt off. Took my blood pressure again and it was 155/97. I continued to take my BP every 10min for the next hour to see if it would resolve and it did not. I had a headache and could see floaters in my vision. A quick call to my OB and she told us to get our butts to L&D for monitoring. Urine sample at hospital showed a high protein count so we were admitted for a 24hr urine protein analysis just to be sure. Since being here blood pressure has fluctuated. Baby looks good and contractions have been intermittent all day. I have not had a urine sample test positive this pregnancy for proteins at all. I’m a little terrified.
Has anyone had a pre-eclampsia “scare” and it turn out to be nothing?
