my appointment on monday didn't go the way i thought it would and my lab results have come back with some concerns of pre-eclampsia. although i am not overly concerned, the reality of having less time than i thought has really kicked in. the 2 big signs they look for when diagnosing are high blood pressure and protein in the urine, which i have both. my other lab work came back "OK" but there are still some things that are off. so the doctor had me come in today for a non-stress test to see how big the baby is and check my amniotic fluid levels.
my blood pressure was within a normal range today and my non stress test showed a very happy and active baby. the ultrasound showed he has plenty of amniotic fluid surrounding him and they will do cultures to monitor protein in urine. they feel i am doing well and don't feel the need to bring me in before my next appointment on tuesday. my own doctor will be back in office by then, so i will discuss these results with her and if induction is still on the table.
