Urine 24 hour collection.

Has anyone had do do a 24 hour urine collection?   Im 13 weeks today and doing one and I want to elaborate on what all it is?  I know its something to do with high blood pressure.   Mine has been a little up past 2 visits so she wanted like a base check for the future?   Weird to me.... anyone input??

I had a few high bp before and my Dr told me I might have to do that to check for protein in the urine that is a sign of preclamsia. Good luck to you
