My OB has historically been extra cautious (she advised me against running, squats, deadlifts in as early as second tri despite the lack of specific concern). She told me to hold off on running and weight lifting until 12 weeks.

1 week pp, she noted that my scar was healing nicely. I’ve been able to move around at home almost immediately after the hospital, and I’ve managed without pain meds after 1 week pp. All this to say, I’ve generally been feeling good.

Would appreciate your own anecdotes and OBs’ input. Thanks!

Would appreciate any input or clarification, as I feel like my OB only glossed over this.

At last check-up (28w), OB said I had "asymptomatic preeclampsia" based on my UPCR result taken at 24w. My UPCR is 0.36, urine protein is 68.00 mg/L (normal), and creatinine is 1.62 mmo/L (low). From my research, my understanding is UPCR is artificially elevated due to low creatinine, which is possibly due to over-hydration (which very much applies to me).

Besides this, the only other concern is that my BP raises during consultation, but not even to significantly high levels (e.g., 120/90, 130/80). I've just been a nervous pregnant woman so consultations make me anxious, but BP readings at home are all consistently low. Also no other symptoms present that could be indicative of pre-e. Please help me understand!
