Pre-Eclampsia

Doctors sucked today. I had to do my glucose test and give blood. I will get the results tomorrow. . Then my blood pressure was high again today so they made me give more blood. Then I had to get a flu shot. Now i have to do a 24hr urine collection to make sure I don't have pre-eclampsia. I start it in the morning and i am not looking forward to it. I have had a great pregnancy with alot of bumps through out it. I am so glad my little one will be her in about 13 weeks. But i am so stressed that something might be wrong. My ultrasounds looked great. And so did she when we saw her on them. Also the amnio i had was great but there is just so much going on. I honestly dont know what to do. She might stop growing and i might have pre-eclampsia. I hope they all come back fine. i just want whats best for my baby girl and myself.

Was only your inhibin abnormal? What about the other markers in the quad screen? I was told that if they measure two weeks behind then that is of concern, the ultrasounds do get it wrong, they are not 100% accurate, so I wouldn't be too worried about that at the moment.

My glucose came back at 88 and the GTT was OK, so I'm free of diabetes too :-) All the best!

hopefully the urine is normal too....i am having twins and my one twin is over a week smaller than the other twin who is exactly on time

my doc said that towards the end the smaller twin might struggle to get nourishment but this typically doesnt happen until much later in the preg

i will only go 34-36 weeks because of my twins and the fact that i have been teetering with a disease called twin to twin syndrome where one twin steals the nutrients from the other....i have been on bedrest since 15 weeks and my TTTS has been stable....it has not progressed which is a good thing

i wouldnt worry too much yet

My inhibin(something in my blood work) has been above normal. So that is an indication that she might stop growing early. And she measured at 25w 3d when I was 26w. I will have one or two more ultrasounds before my due date. My glucose came back at 75 which is in the normal. I take my urine colection back tomorrow. And will know by monday whats going on.
