Well I had my 28wk appt today where my top number in my blood pressure was kinda high (138/70) and I have a little swelling in my feet. They did a urine test where they stick the little stick thingy in and test for protein and I guess I may have had a trace...
I haven't gained any weight since last appt at 24wks so that puts me at +12lbs at 28 weeks! Woo hoo!
The doc measured my belly and said it was perfect and the baby's heartbeat was a normal 150BPM.
I was then sent next door to the lab for my 1 Hour (had the lemon lime) which wasn't too bad. I could barely taste the drink since I have a cold which I think helped.
Then they sent me off with my big orange tub to collect my urine for 24 hours to make sure I don't have a lot of protein in my urine. Plus I have to keep it refrigerated
sorry about the cold tinkle...for my REGULAR ob visits - i have to do FMU and it's always got to be put in the fridge. I wrap the bottle in like 4 supermarket bags and put it in the fridge at work...because i have like NO other option!

I normally have to do that too, and it's always fun carrying it in to the waiting room. Everyone knows what you're hiding!!
I'm just glad that I get to do the 24hr sample on the weekend and not carry it around the office...that would definitely NOT work out well!
OMG - i wouldn't know what to do if i had that jug at work!!!!
i know what you mean - holding that cup in the waiting room.....but last time i went - the nurses asked me to please bring in the tinkle cup RIGHT AWAY and put it in the back so they can test it and have the results for me without waiting....so i do that now!
