24hr urine collection

So i have had to collect my urine for 24hrs for the doctor to check the protein level, as they think I might be getting preclampsia. I never noticed before how much I dont have to pee that often. The jug is huge that they give you but mine isnt even half full and im done with the collection at 1130am which is only a couple hours away. I drink alot of fluids, milk water, tea and sprite so im not sure way im not having a larger out put. Does anyone know if this is part of preclampsia, to not be able to pee alot??

It was slightly elevated and I gained 5 lbs in 24hrs but my Dr said since my bp was normal that we were gonna wait atleast a week before inducing....

I'm not sure if that is a sign or not. I had to do the collection a few weeks back and I filled it probably around 3/4. Good luck hope everything is okay.
