As for the blood pressure reading… Were you under a significant amount of stress that day at work? Running late for your appointment? Anything that would have gotten you extra worked up?

Are you noticing swelling in your hands and feet and/or your face?

Any history of preeclampsia on either your side or your husband’s mother’s side? One of the things I found out in my research was that preeclampsia can be hereditary and is thought to be based off the genetic makeup of the baby, so it can come from your husband’s lineage as well. I found out that my mother in law had pre-eclampsia with all three of her pregnancies, so it might have been passed on to my baby from her.

The urine analysis will be the "official" test because they will be able to see if you are spilling protein.

For the next two weeks until you get checked again really watch your salt intake. Also take that bed rest seriously. I ended up in the hospital on bedrest the last two weeks before I delivered because my blood pressure got so high, and I remember even just getting up to go the restroom by the time I got back my BPs would soar up just from being on my feet a few minutes.

If you do end up being diagnosed with preeclampsia they will probably put you on bedrest at home with frequent checkups for blood pressure readings. They might move you to the hospital if the blood pressure gets to high so they can monitor you closer to make sure it doesn’t develop into eclampsia, which is where the seizures starts. They will probably induce you early once your baby gets a little further along. Mine was induced at 36 weeks and she was born very healthy with no NICU stay.

I’m sure everything will be fine! Good luck to you!
