High-Risk Pregnancy

Fed Up!

After last weeks bout with my pre-e results and Bp readings, I can finally say that I am at my whits end! Long story short... I see team of 8-10 doctors. One of my doctors called last week about results from my 24 hr. Urine test. I had levels above 600.. The normal range is 300 or below. After giving her my schpeel on symptoms of headaches and blurry vision..I was sent straight to L& D for further testing. Pre-e was ruled out and the conclusion was drawn that it was indeed MY chronic hypertension. I saw a completely different doctor that day and was told that due to the risks of aging placenta and stress in the baby, I would be seen twice this week and induced next week plus I was put on bed rest. I left L&D feeling like I had a plan...my next dr. Appt was Thursday of last week where I saw a different doctor for the 3rd time! After waiting an hr. To be seen, I finally saw this dr. My husband and I discussed with her our ordeal in L&D just 2 days before. This dr. Told us that my Bp readings were nothing to be alarmed about, and brushed us off to the high risk doctors. Our entire plan was shot to hell that day and my husband and I left very frustrated. The original dr said to monitor all Bp readings at home and if they reached 130/90 or higher on either side, to call or come in. This other doctor said that anything 160/100 was cause for alarm...we left the dr. That day totally confused! Fast forward to today... I was seen by the specialist. Another dr. That I have NEVER seen before. I took all of my Bp recordings from home which range from 130/90-147/107. I was told those looked fine and not to call unless my readings were 160/105!!!!. WTH?? Another opinion of numbers? I'm totally confused! I am 36 weeks and 1 day. I have been given the run around by FOUR different doctors! I just put in a call to the original dr. Who sent me to L&D last week. It's 5 pm and she hasn't called me back yet! I am so frustrated. I could care less if I'm induced at 37 weeks or 39 weeks, but this instability of feedback from my doctors needs to be worked out! There is a reason the L&D Doctor put me on bed rest and made plans for induction. Why do these other doctors feel the need to "over-ride" her when they have NEVER monitored me or seen me longer than a 20 min doctor visit!?! That's all...I needed to vent. I hate bed rest and being ran around in circles! Anyone want to input or give me some encouraging words?. Thanks in advance!
