So if you have been following my pregnancy journey thus far, then you know that despite having little to no pregnancy symptoms, it certainly has not been a smooth ride. Well it got a little bumpier today. Don't worry, the bean seems to be doing fine, but its mama is having some health issues that do not seem to be related to the pregnancy. In an interest of sparing you the gory details, due to my recent blood pressure extravaganza I had some labs done, one of which shows some issues with my kidneys.
Of course there are about a million different reasons for the kidneys to misbehave, but there are three resonable options for me. Atleast these are the ones that I can come up with. So it could be related to my high blood pressure, though at this point I do not know which came first, the chicken or the egg, both can cause issues with the other. Another reason could be undiagnosed diabetes. And the one I am hoping for is that the lab value that we got could be related to recent strenuous exercise, and the four days prior to the test I was walking ALL OVER NYC. I go to the kidney specialist (the nephrologist) tomorrow afternoon to find out more details. I'll keep you posted. Until then keep us and our bean in your thoughts and prayers please :)
