    First hospital visit - 120/70
    Second hospital visit - 100/60
    Dr visit - 125/79

    So it's been stable - so i think it's more the protein his worried about. The comment on the card says prot + Leuc??
    I think i really need to ask more questions when i see the dr next to be fully informed..

    Just to answer you question for other signs of PE:
    Elevated BP
    Swelling including the face, some swelling is completely normal in pregnancy
    Headaches

    So your Dr will ask you if you have any of these and if you notice any of them please get in contact quickly as it can onset quite fast, but you can also go through a FT pregnancy with some protein in your urine.

    The Dr may also get some extra monitoring done as well, by generally just of your BP

    Big HUGS and I hope that everythign will go smoothly with you and your pregnancy.

    ETA I jsut found this PE with some great information on BB
