Too Good to be true :(

I been labeled high risk this whole pregnancy because j had pre eclampsia with both previous pregnancies.. I travel over an hour each way to my high risk doctors office... At 35 weeks everything was still great! I was getting my hopes up. Today at 36.1 weeks my doctor sent me to the hospital for slightly elevated bp, no protein, but significant weight gain all of a sudden. And every other classic sign.
So I go over to the hospital... And my bp, stayed around 145ish over 90's and then went up to 158/107.. No one did anything!! Alarms going off and everything.. Babies heart rate ranging from 130's to 190's and all the did was ask if I ever had fetal distress before.. After 7 hours they send me home with still high blood pressure, no idea what's going on with the baby.. I do have to do a 24 urinalysis (with my youngest it was always in the hospital I had to have it done.. Now j get to take it home. That's cool!
Anyways.. So damn annoyed with the hospital. They just don't seem to care!

  • You probably know the drill but try to relax as much as possible. Deep breaths, feet up and don't worry too much. This happened with my last pregnancy too I really wish healthcare was more personal. They are the ones we should be able rely on...I'm really sorry but I hope all is well after further test.
  • Thanks ladies. I mean I made it this far without anything being wrong, so even if she was to be delivered tomorrow (no need to think she will be but you know what I'm saying) she will be just fine! But it's like "dang... I have had a normal pregnancy up till now.. But I have had a great doctor, and staff at my doctors appointment and there obviously not even playing around. After shift change at the hospital, I had a great doctor then as well! The nurse was the same one.. I didn't like her.. But didn't dislike her.. She just made me feel like I was putting her out.. And then she wasn't even doing what she was supposed to do.. Didn't see one doctor from 12 till 6.. Shift change and all of a sudden I have this sweet caring now doctor who took her time and listened to me. After I told her how the nurse was, she said "well hang tight.. I will have her come back in and take care of you) and the nurse did.. With a better attitude!
    So that helped.. But it's like.. Ugh! I don't want to play this game again. (FYI... Tubal scheduled for the 7th because I can't do this again!)
    But side notes..baby is breech and cervix is thinning (c section anyways so no biggie)
  • I understand that for the hospital staff, it's their job, but these are our lives and our babies' lives! Some compassion and concern from them would be appreciated... We know what and how we feel. Even if it's nothing, there's nothing like a little reassurance to calm a pregnant woman's nerves! Glad it got a little better for you though. And here's hoping that all is and remains well!
  • It sucks when the people that you PAY and trust should be giving you less stress give you more. I know the feeling :( hang in there!!! :D
  • I'm sorry this happened and I hope you are feeling better! You'll get to meet Little Lexi any day!
  • So sorry to hear, I hope you're feeling ok and best of luck for you and baby : )
  • I'm sorry this happened and I hope you are feeling better! You'll get to meet Little Lexi any day!

    Lol um.... I didn't put her name in there.. How do you know it?
    But thank you.
  • Thank you ladies. I'm feeling alright. Just frustrated that my bp is still up and down... But at least it has its downs right? And hey I have come this far!
  • And update... Bp is still up, but not dangerously.. My doctor (who I'm always bragging up) called me just to see how I was doing! Never had a doctor who cared so much! So that's great! The fact that she's even paying attention to me and the baby during appointments blows me away (didn't have good doctors in the past)


    Also, baby shower is tomorrow!!! Was really worried I wouldn't be able to have it.. So my mum is out shopping for finishing touches. Then I'm going to help her decorate. And we're going to start cooking for it. Because tomorrow we have to go pick up the cake and drop my 24 hr urine off. (Or drop the pee off before we pick up the cake.. Lol) and then finish everything else up when we get back.
    And since I can't leave the house today.. She's also picking up some of my craving stuff (ie.. Soda.. Although it's bad.. We joke I'm addicted to it, so she said she was enabling me.. And cheese.. And milk.. I can't drink whole milk so she calls my 1% fake..) oh and she took a dinner request, so she's making home made pot pie for me for dinner.
