High Blood pressure & Urine Tests...

[Jakabella]

Howdy,

I had my OB appointment on Monday and she said that my BP was higher than normal and she took a urin sample - she said that there was no protein in it but she gave me a slip to take to pathology to do 2 x 24 hr urine samples - I was expecting a few small cups but I was greeted with 2 large 2 ltr containers that I have to collect all my urine in for the 2 x 24 hr periods.

Once that is finished I have to have some blood taken at the hospital for some more tests.

Does anyone know what these tests are for?? I know high BP isnt good in preg - but it can be managed cant it?

Im scared for me and bubs.

Thanks
Kate
