I was diagnosed with preclampsia last week was in the hospital because of that and the fact I have too much protein in my urine. I have to be induced at 37 weeks because I'm at risk for seizures. My baby is doing good so far he's not being affected yet. Will be doing stress test twice a week also until I'm induced.

I had the same problems as you. My urine came back fine, but my blood pressure was still really high. They put me on medicine twice a day and now I go in for nonstress tests twice a week to make sure my baby is still being active and not affected by my blood pressure. Apparently high blood pressure makes the placenta age quicker and can cut off oxygen to baby, so now I go in twice a week until i deliver. I have been since 33 weeks and now I'm 35 weeks.

I also got told my swelling is normal & I have headaches & floaters in my vision.  high blood pressure & took the 24hr urine test they said it was high but since it was fine the last appt I went to they said I'm fine.  so apparently you have to have protein in your urine everytime& have high BP everytime for it not to be normal
