ameliabird and bocaburger The next step is to do a 24 hour urine catch for a further analysis of the protein spill. From there, there are limited treatments that are safe during pregnancy. We're hoping that they can find a way to at least control my blood pressure (it's elevated already due to my condition) and keep this baby in as long as possible without my kidneys failing. FX for good results in the 24 hour analysis. I'll know more mid to late this week.
Thanks so much everyone for the thoughts and prayers. We need all that we can get.
roofusdoofus I'm sorry you got that news today. Hope that you will have answers soon.
Pregnancy brain is real. My appointment was not at 4 in Huntington like I thought, it was at 3:15 in Newport. Didn't make it in time thanks to writing it down incorrectly in my phone. That will teach me not to call around to schedule several different things all at the same time, not as efficient as I thought if I can't document them correctly on my calendar. So now I go Friday instead. Blah, I was excited.
Do any of you bring your SO to your appointments? My H wants to come to the first one. I'll have a dating ultrasound done (8 weeks), but I'm pretty sure they also said I'm getting a pap smear so I'm not sure how much he's going to want to sit around for
H came to a lot of them last pregnancy. He just sat off to the side during the pap I think, or maybe he stepped out. It wasn't a big deal, he didn't watch or anything. He used to get a lot of Friday's off since he works 10 hr days, so I'd just make appts then. He rarely gets them off now, and isn't able to leave work for an hour or whatever, so he probably won't make it to any this time, except he'll try really hard for the anatomy scan.
I cannot stop thinking about chicken pot pie now. This pregnancy has really changed my tastebuds. I'm anti-sugar and all about random meat/veggie dishes. I hate meat.
Apparently what I needed was four days in a row without work. For the first time in what feels like weeks, I feel like me tonight. I feel silly and funny and like I can do chores. I can imagine working tomorrow. I did homework. I ate pizza and salad! My ambitions are not huge.
Too bad my next day off is in a month. And I have a lot to do at work. And, oh yeah, I get no paid maternity time except for the personal days I can jealously hoard. So yeah. Here's hoping that when I hit the 12-13 week mark I feel better, so I don't have to live like a zombie forever.

ETA: holy cow I'm whiney. Sorry guys.
Not whiney...you are just going through a lot right now!

I want to make chicken pot pie now too. May have to make that this weekend.
