For the past month and a half my feet have been swollen... My last apt on thursday they were so swollen that they feel brusied and my legs are swollen too. My bp is in the normal range but high for me, also I have traces of protine in my urine. I had an u/s at this apt and was told my fluid is at a 13 which is on the low side but as long as its above a 10 im ok. Also ive had a lot of pressure and my baby isnt moving at least five times an hr. With that being said my dr wasnt concerend said it was normal, told me to keep working and come back in two weeks....ill be 35weeks monday, should I be worried??

    Get a second opinion thats all I can think of if your doctor isn't making you feel better

    Um I'm not sure I think it all depends. U do have signs of pre-e with the swelling and protein in ur urine. I have pre-e. But I think it depends how high the protien levels are and what ur blood pressure says. I'm on strict bedrest br privledges only until I'm induced in less than 2 weeks.

    I'm not really sure. I thinks its more of a threat to mom. They didn't really explain much to me about how it affected her, just what it did to me. Sorry :(

    But I would def get a second opinion or go to the hospital. If pre e is left untreated it could lead to eclampsia which can cause seizures and other problems

    Your protein levels have to be above 300 to be pre-e. If your bp is anything below 140/90 then there is no cause for concern. Also, fluid levels are considered normal anywhere from 6-15. I had PIH and Polyhydramnios and this was all info my doc told me so I'm guessing that everything is checking out in the 'normal' range. If you feel that there is cause for cn

    Dumb phone lol. Anyways if there is any cause for concern, I would bring it up to him or her, and if you don't get the answers you're looking for, get q second opinion. Good luck! :D
