Before I got pregnant my blood pressure was always high , on the booking appointment it was still quite high but dropped down to normal rates. In the past few weeks its crept up a little but always stayed within the normal rates. On the thirteenth I had my regular appointment with my consultant and she said it was borderline and recommended I have an appointment with my gp the next day to check my bp. There was no protein in my urine at that time. Next day I went down. My blood pressure had shot up to I think it was 150/96? And he said I had +2 proteins in my urine. He rang the hospital and told me I'd probably be admitted so to go straight down there. I hurried down there where we ended up from 5-10pm. I had a row off the triage midwife who thought there was no need for me to hurry down and that my drs and hosp were wrong. They did my blood pressure twice which had dropped both times , not significantly but I think it was something like 130/88? And I had no proteins in my urine so after monitoring his little heartbeat and feeling him we were sent home(hallelujah!). The midwife came up to check my bp which was okay and within normal range but when she checked my urine there was proteins in it again. She doesn't want to leave me another week so she's coming up Monday to check it again.
I'm really scared , my mum was in hospital for two months before she had me due to Pre eclampsia and when she went into labor she nearly died, she litererly had ten minutes before an emergency caesarean as we were both failing. I know they were being cautious but I was convinced I'd be admitted and scared I'd be induced , and I'm still not convinced I won't be come Monday .
Is it liky its preeclampsia when the bloods I had taken for it were clear?
Does it mean its more or less likely to be preeclampsia when my bp is fluctuating so much rather than staying high or low?
Is there any other reasons protein could be in your urine?.
What am I supposed to do? I've been told to keep mobile and to carry on as normal just not push myself to hard but I've been told to pretty much rest up by other drs so I don't know whether I'm supposed to do as little as possible or waddle around?.
