I'm 33 weeks pregnant, and I went to my OB today and my blood pressure was up, my weight was up more than expected (5lbs in 2 weeks), and there was protein in my urine. So of course I'm going through the 24 hour urine test where I have to lug around a jug to pee in ALLLLLLLL day. Woo.
I asked my doctor if a recent tailbone injury might cause these problems as well, and he said the extra weight could be from lack of activity due to injury, and the high blood pressure could be from the pain, but there's still the protein issue. I just have to wait till tomorrow to finish the test and then wait for results. Ugh.
So I was just wanting to hear from women who have had protein in their urine during pregnancy, whether it always turned out to be pre-eclampsia, and what was done to treat the pre-eclampsia, if that was the case. Thanks for your experience!
