Protein in urine

Mariah • Fri, Jul 01

So, I got an ultrasound today and was floating on cloud nine. I'll be 28 weeks tomorrow. Three years ago, when I was 28 weeks, I had my son, preeclampsia, got ahold of me and we both nearly died.

This time pregnancy seemed a little smoother, until I peed on a stick. Positive for protein. All the bad memeioes came flooded back.

My doctor knows about my previous fight with preeclampsia so put me on bedrest and wants me to do a 24 hour urine. I am a nervous wreck. At the office my b/p was 134/85, so not really high. She still seemed concerned.

So, I'll be on high alert all weekend. I just needed to vent a little.
