How do you lower Protein?

Bedrest

I am not so sure you can actively reduce it by taking something, as it is linked to BP I would say rest should help!

After some not-so-helpful googling, I found this:

"If you have mild preeclampsia and your baby has not reached full development, your doctor will probably recommend you do the following:

    * Rest, lying on your left side to take the weight of the baby off your major blood vessels.
    * Increase prenatal checkups.
    * Consume less salt.
    * Drink 8 glasses of water a day."

That's if your BP is up. Otherwise it's a sign of UTI or kidney problems. Or there's one other thing I know that can show protein and that is having sex not too long before the sample, say in the morning. No, I don't know that from personal experience

Hope that's helpful. I guess you're probably already doing all that tho

Bp was finally ok (only little high) today...glucose fine too...

Umm didnt have sex....im always too scared that he might decide to do internal or something and see that we fooled around before appt LMAO!!!

I drink heaps each day - i buy a water bottle and refill it at least 3 times..so at least 2 litres each day...

i guess answer is rest...have client thing in morn...so will come home after wards...and rest...and same for next day....hope to be home by lunchtime...so wont go back to work after....a week off in my profession is just a no go zone at moment...doesnt help I know....

hhm was that in a blood test or wee-on-a-stick test.

if it is from weeing on a stick - you won't reduce it really - all it means is that your kidneys are letting protein go out into your urine instead of keeping it in your blood circulation like it should be... meaning that your body isn't really coping as well as it could be.

definately try to rest with feet up to stop fluid pooling in your legs and ankles, drink more water to keep fluids up and help flush out nasties (is a little kinder on your kidneys too rather than being dehydrated)
and try to rest up.

With wanting to have baby, it depends on alot of things, but really unless it got quite bad.. with baby only being 33.2 weeks at this stage, they would try to hold off on inducing you because of more risks to baby.. at least for another 2 weeks - 36 weeks is a much better and acceptable time.. babies do so much better. as i said though depends if the risks to you and baby outweight the risks of having baby prem, but it's not usually quite as clear cut as asking for one unless baby is old enough for them to agree.

BTW home now and going to watch dr phil...thats resting isnt it???

yeah mine was up to 2! am awaiting results...dreading the phone call from specialist...i know he will admit me if still BAD!!!

He should only admit you if your BP is up as well I thought. I hope you don't cos I know how boring and annoying it is being stuck in hospital.

Bombshell another idea would be to reduce hours until baby is due, maybe 30 hour weeks?
