24 hour urine test for protein

Lindsay

I’m 36 + 4 and last week I had mildly high blood pressure (138/84 while normal for me is more like 105/65). I’ve also had swollen ankles and hands. Yesterday at my OB appt my blood pressure was normal (118/74) but my ankles were pretty swollen so I had to have blood work and a urine sample. There was a relatively high level of protein in the urine sample so now I have to save my pee in a jug for 24 hours. Worst case scenario I have to deliver next week.

Has anyone else had to take the 24 hour urine test but not have preeclampsia? Not sure how much I need to be stressing out over this.
