[quote=jindc]I do not have GD and I'm overweight. I've gained 34lbs and after losing 75lbs before pregnancy, I have every faith that I can get back to where I was even if takes longer than before I had a kid.

I took the "hypertension blood panel) in August - everything was fine.  Should I take this again?  I ask because it's apparently a fasting blood test and they never told me this, so I had to come back a different day for it since I had eaten breakfast.

Also, isn't there a difference between high-ish BP and pre-e?

I guess I am just looking for options to bring with me to the next appointment.  I'm seeing a different doctor, so the perspective will be good.  Is it worth saying that since she is so concerned, why don't I come in more often for BP/urine checks?  I tried this before, but no one would take my BP without an appointment and I didn't think it was worth a doctor's appointment when a nurse can do the BP/urine testing....

To be clear I'm not trying to AVOID dealing with pre-e if I develop it - I'm trying to avoid being convinced of something that isn't a real health issue.  If it IS a real health issue, I'll definitely deal with it the best way possible![/quote]
