Protein in your urine is the a symptom of Pre Eclampsia. That's why you have to do the 24 hour urine. Also the high BP. If it's too high they will induce you.

All the things they are having you do are for the safety & well-being of your baby ~ You are almost there, Lacie!!

Be patient & try to relax as much as you can with some deep deep slow breathing & visualizing that baby in your arms. Set small goals like telling yourself, "just 2 more days & I will 37 weeks!! One week closer to holding you, Baby!"

As each new milestone passes, convince yourself that her lungs ARE much stronger & ready to work perfectly outside your body. You are only DAYS away from meeting your new daughter, Lace!! Hold on ....

BTW ~ our daughter (25) is going to the ObGyn 3 times a week for non-stress tests bcuz she lost her first baby boy (9-21-11) @ 8 months gestation from excessive stress, uncontrollable BP & protein in her urine. We use visualization, deep breathing & relaxing music while laying there in the examining suite. It works very well!!
