Possible Preclampsia?
Hi guys! I’m currently 34 weeks with my first. A little background story. About 2-3 weeks ago i was taking my blood pressure at home and i had 2 separate readings of 140/90. I went to the hospital where they discharged me and just told me to monitor at home and if it worsened to come back. Following days after that I bring this up to my obgyn and let her know i had a few high readings at home, this is where my first issue arrises when she tells me that everything in office has been fine despite my blood pressure also being in the high 130s closer to the 140 range. I had to push to get bloodwork done as i did not feel comfortable with the response and didn’t think my at home ranges would get thrown out the window by a simple office reading done every 2 weeks 🙄. My obgyn recommended i do the 24hr protein test as well as some bloodwork, so bam i end up doing the test and i get the results today. Upon checking my protein in my urine it came out to: 720 mg/24 hr. Yes, you saw that right 720 mg. The normal reference is about up to 300 if i’m not mistaken. I go ahead and call my obs office to see if they can go over these results with me to which they tell me the dr has gone over it and your instructions are just to continue monitoring your bp making sure it doesn’t roll over to the 140s which i believe will do since it’s been ranging lately between 137-139. As a first time mom this is super scary, and I want to be prepared, and made sure i’m taken seriously when it comes to this. I have an appointment with my obgyn and i’m not sure what points to bring up, like ask if an induction will be set up, or even extra monitoring. What’s the best course of action to take ?
