re: Bladder infection or Preeclampsia?

*lungs not legs. haha.

I called the doctor and of course they are closed. The best thing they said I can do is wait till tomorrow when my doctor is on call. She said not to stress. BUt what else am I going to do? *SIGH*

Yeah. try to stay calm and just relax. I know its hard. Hopefully it wont be anything major.

Yea, try to relax.. lay down on your left side.. keep us posted

my mom who adopted me also started looking into preeclampsia when I just told her about the protien showing up. I mean how odd is that? Maybe because she knew mybiological mother had it? I am going out with her tomorrow so I will be calm, or at least thinking of other stuff.

It is stressful to not know something that can have a huge impact on your life. Well my little girl is having fun with my bladder right now, at least she is moving around, and the doc said she had a very strong and perfect heartbeat.

I dunno when she told me she had a strong heartbeat was after the BP and pee test and she had an odd look on her face, now that I think of it.

Stress, stress go away, don't come again another day!!

That sucks! But whatever works, you know! I think I want to buy a million pillows to prop myself up, I hate sleeping on my sides, it makes my hips hurt..

Ok, just to scare myself more, I looked at a diff site... SIGH

Swelling in your face or puffiness around your eyes, more than slight swelling of your hands, or excessive or sudden swelling of your feet or ankles. • Rapid weight gain — more than 4 pounds in a week.
• Severe or persistent headache
• Vision changes, including double vision, blurred vision, seeing spots or flashing lights, sensitivity to light, or temporary loss of vision
• Intense pain or tenderness in your upper abdomen

I have the swelling around my eyes and my feet/ ankles (so bad I am wearing a size 10 wide when i am normally a size 8, and the size 10 is still tight), I gained 5 pounds ina week, my vision, tenderness in my abdomin (thought that was constiation) and been nauseated.

UGH why do I have to look deeper into things?!!?!?

I know. my mother told me I was a hypochondriac and was exaggerating my symptoms (she lived out of state), but I had every one of those, except the headaches and vision changes.. I had been vomiting for a week and a half before I couldn't take the pain anymore.. It's better to be cautious with something like that!

Hahaha.. I mean I do research a lot of stuff online, BUT I don't go around saying "omg I have (insert disease here)" all the time lol.. My mom is still in denial, even after everything I went through.. She thinks this pregnancy is going to be sunshine and rainbows, I couldn't possibly get sick.. lol.. wtf..

My Dr never told me I had protein in my urine or anything, but the specialist I am seeing this time said there are signs that I had it in my records that I was never told about..

Ok, so doc called me back, in like 5 min, WOW world record!! And she said I have no symptoms of preeclampsia (what?) and my symptons are normal of pregnancy. So ok, but IF I want to go to L&D I can. I was all" I don't really want to, no" But I dunno I will see what my mom says. And for my headache she told me to take 2 xtra strength tylenol and if the headache does not go away then go to L&D!! UGH I dunno
