Went in for my BP check this morning and was immediately sent to L&D. I was there from 10:30-4 as they monitored me and they ended up discharging me because my BP was going down. Now my BP is 100's/100's & my vision is blurry with a constant headache. My issue is, the fetal medicine specialist they referred me to right when I got discharged completely blew me off, as if I was making all this shit up. Numbers don't lie...I can't make my BP up. I'm worried for my health & health of my child since everyone in my family has had preeclampsia issues & I feel like I can't go to L&D without me being in actual labor in fear that I'm going to get sent home. Ps - my doctor is on vacation.
I would go bCk this does not sound good 🙏 all is well !
@lc go to another hospital or something bcuz I had the same problem and I ended up having pre eclampsia and in the hospital for 35days b4 an emergency csection
@zicareian1, I know omg 😖 but the maternal fetal medicine specialist made me feel like shit. he was like "go home and rest. come back in two days of its high...then we'll induce you" LOL what?! last time I checked, nothing happens in two days this far in the pregnancy
I would be too scared BP is nothing to play with @lc
@zicareian1, thinking about it...might monitor thru the night and see what's going on.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Is today baby day?
Hi ladies! I'm 38w6d today and woke up to get ready for work. I got sick out of nowhere and then my face and neck swelled up scary fast. I called L&D and was told to come in for monitoring. My BP is elevated, there's protein showing in my urine so they're going to do some lab work and see what they think. Wish me and baby Freddy luck, ladies!
Went to the dr for my weekly check and my blood pressure was 166/122. They waited 15 minutes and checked again and it had gone up to 190/? !! So I was sent to L&D to be monitored for an hour and my blood pressure had dropped to 140/80 so they sent me home on bed rest ... now I’m nervous my BP is gonna spike again while I’m at home and I won’t know. That sounds scary high. I wish they would have just induced me😩
Husband on the way home. I have to go to l&d the pain is severe and my contractions are every 5-7mins. Nurses wanted me to come in. Will keep everyone updated. !
L&D Nurse. Opinions please!
I'm back in L&D. They sent me here from my doc appt due to elevated BP and a headache. When I got here, my nurse is one of the nurses I had when Enoch was born. She's just the sweetest! She remembered me and asked how I was doing.
I would go back anyway, that's too high for someone not pregnant. If you go they have to see you, maybe it will be a different dr with a different opinion @lc
