So Friday night went to the hospital got diagnosed with preeclampsia, Thursday night back to the hospital bad headache, blurring vision, weakness. So they had me come in. My blood pressure really high but ended up calming down and they let me go home. Today had to go to the darn hospital again super bad headache. Felt like I got hit in the head by a hammer. Waited 7 hours then called. Nothing would make it go away. So they had me come in. Again super bad blood pressure tried one medicine I kept puking so they would try another and then do more labs. But finally found something that helped so they sent me home. But on top of all of this my husband is mad that we went in. Preeclampsia is scary and new to me. All I want is that my baby is okay. Idk how to handle this if he's going to react this way how in the heck is he going to handle labor. It makes mw sad that he is so upset that I had to be there but not thankful that we are okay. Any suggestions. My husband reacts like this sometimes but other times is amazing but right now I feel alone.

Exactly what I was thinking! I have been following a story on FB for a while were a woman ended up having it and had seizures. She can't even hold her child, talk, and is having to go through so much rehab. This is nothing to be taken lightly and your husband should be ashamed to get upset at you!! Your health and your baby's health is what is most important and bravo for going to the hospital when you felt so bad. Maybe you should print off some things about it and put it around the house so maybe then he will fully understand what can happen!
Why was he mad? Did he feel inconvenienced or did he feel the visit was unnecessary?
I would have mentally kicked him in the nads and told him to go home, just to keep me from stressing out, and then tell him I would call him when it was time to pick me up.
Honestly, his reaction tells me that he doesn't fully understand the risk. If he did, he couldn't have justified his behavior. Especially, if he is as "amazing" as you say.
Exactly!! OP,does your husband know the dangers of preeclampsia and what risks are associated with no treatment????
