@landon1002, I'm glad they took you seriously and did the right thing!! also I'm glad to hear you don't have preclamsia!
@tater4414, @queendavis I went in as soon as i was done with work and they said swelling is normal. i loved the doc i actually seen cause it was him and he was just kind of learning everything so it was him and high up supervisor doc watching him and mu nurse checked on me multiple times. They had me hooked up to monitors on my belly my bp was a tiny bit high but not bad and my heart rate was high. im extremely dehydrated and i told them i just drink water and suck on ice and they said some people need more then they want cause baby taking all nutrients. so i need to drink tons more water. they did a cervix and pelvic exam which hurt and they ran a couple tests and said no fluids or bacteria or any of that present and they gave me meds for heartburn and lots of water to drink while i waited and they did a ultrasound cause the guy needed practice so i did see landon. he is head down body along my left side butt by my stomach and feet under right rib which is why my last 2 ribs are bruised and my back hurts. they said they wont say bed rest cause i told them i need to work since i just nanny as long as i can and little boy i watch is only a year old so he is simple and relaxed and they said for me to just watch my heart rate and take it easy and if i have any questions or feel lonely cause hubby been in field which is making my anxiety up which increases my heart rate that i can come in and just talk or things like that to make sure baby is ok and that im ok.
Wow you aren't too early at all. 30 weeks is a really common time for preeclampsia. Stand your ground girl and don't take any shit!!!! When you going in?
wow! no that's just dumb!!!@landon1002
@tater4414, @sunshine1 im telling them how iv been treated when i go in and that im done being bounced around. my mom had preeclampsia and when i told lady that i was talking to my mom telling her that she said she had it and to go in and the lady had the nerve to say "in your moms day swelling was consudered a sign but its not anymore and there are test we do not just based off swelling" My mom is 39.... turns 40 oct 11th... this lady sounded 60... how dare u say shit like that. that made me upset beyond upset.
Yeah it's definitely not too early to have it you can get it any time after 20 weeks. I'm sorry you have to deal with such poor health care, don't listen to them. Listen to your body and do what you feel is right!
don't let them give you any crap! you are momma and you know what's best so tell them to get off their high horse and start treating with respect. it's not too early to have it and it's not too early to have something wrong. @landon1002
@queendavis, @tater4414 @sunshine1 They finally called back. having me go to labor and delivery l. they said im early to have it and lady was rude about it and said its highly unlikely so im going in to labor and delivery to get checked just incase. so sick of how im being treated like everything i say is minimal and idk what im talking about...
@queendavis, they calling me back to try n make time for me today.
okay good I just wanted to make sure you weren't potentially hurting yourself. when I played soccer we had a lot of girls go down because of potassium and sodium deficiencies
@armybaby, I didnt cut out salt completely. I just watched what i ate and ate more healthier. I still intake salt but i dont add extra and i stay away from things with high sodium. i have Gatorade i do drink cause plain water to me tastes like metal. i add lemon so its not so bad.
be careful cutting out salt completely. sodium deficiency has a lot of the same symptoms as dehydration. to keep potassium and sodium levels where they need to be, try drinking a cup of Gatorade between every like 2 cups of water.
you should see your doctor before then. it could be serious, like preclampcia or something else.
lots more water!! and go see your doctor could be something they need to take care of.
I will for sure keep u all updated!!! @queendavis @tater4414 @sunshine1 @junesmommy15 Thank you all for helping!!
Yeah that's crazy that you never see the same doctor, I would be pissed! Swelling is normal but when it's associated with the symptoms you've been having these past couple days it isn't good! :( keep us updated please!!!!
definitely don't hesitate to call and get in! @landon1002
@queendavis, Ok ill do that!! I have heard about it just never fully know what it was or how they tested or anything. this doc explains nothing to me at all. and i never see same doc more then once so idk whats even going on half the time. But i will call l&d if doc office cant get me in!! I dont want anything to happen to my baby at all I just dont know what to look for and swelling i was told is normal but all the other stuff has only been past few days so I thought maybe heat because idk what to look for.
I been sitting on couch with feet elevated and drinking only water like nonstop water all day. And as a ftm idk what to expect or anything an all my family is in WI and im in CA alone cause hubby in field so idk what to even look for. Ill keep feet elevated and lay down or attempt to cause when I lay down nausea comes back and heartburn no matter if i have one pillow or 4 behind me. i may just sleep on couch.
If your Dr office is being stupid then just call L&D, tell them ALL your symptoms and that you're worried it may be preeclampsia and they'll have you come right in! Like the people above said preeclampsia is serious and you need to be seen ASAP because you do have all the symptoms :(
Good! Let us know how it goes 😊 :) try to sleep with your feet elevated tonight to reduce swelling and just take it easy!
Don't let them push you out! tell them something is not right and tell them you need to make sure it's not PR. it's important to push until you get an answer or else you could be putting you and your babies life at risk. @landon1002 drink more fluids tonight and stay off your feet!
@sunshine1, I am calling as soon as they open to see what they say.
You should still get checked out just to be safe! Call your doc in the morning and explain your symptoms, they will most likely want you to come in
@tater4414, I will call right away in the morning and see if they have a opening. Hopefully they do!!
When they take it the second time its only high by like 128/86. thats what it was at last visit second time doing it. first was way high. So they say oh it a tiny bit high and write it down and thats the last i hear of it. @junesmommy15 @sunshine1
girl I really think it may be preclamsia it's not normal to swell that fast or soon. you really need to get seen because it could if nor treated lead to toximia. not to scare you but seriously get seen either tomorrow or sooner. show them a pic of you legs, tell them everything you have been feeling and don't leave anything out.
I always hated that. That is why I'm glad I am seeing civilian doctor now instead of a military doctor.
oh yeah now that you mentioned high blood pressure it does sound like preeclampsia
If you have high bp also you could most definitely have preeclampsia. I have it and it's being managed by bp medicine. They'll draw your blood and most likely make you do a 24 hour urine collection. I would definitely go in asap it's best to catch preeclampsia asap
@queendavis, I havent seen one single doc morr then once since i started having appts at 13 weeks. Idk who my actual doc even is.
@camillesmom, @caseclosed2015 @junesmommy15 sorry phone didnt tag anyone.
Idk how they test for preclamsia. This hospital does everything weird. I was only being seen once every 6 weeks. now this appt on the 11th is 4 weeks from last appt so idk what they doing. @tater4414 My gb test was good first time and i got tdap shot and rhogam shot. they only measured my belly once l. otherwise everytime i go in my bp is high so they take it a second time same arm and then bring me to room listen to heart and thats all. ask if i have questions and i say no if i have none then they give me next appt and send me on my way. thats all.
You need to call your doctor and go in tomorrow or go in to L&D tonight. Your symptoms make it sound like you may have preeclampsia which they need to know about ASAP!
Doctor told me mine was caused by my blood not circulating because baby was putting pressure on my organs. He told me it was normal and although it was terrible it didn't harm me.
oh that doesn't look good at all..... the 11th is too far away.
Call the Dr tomorrow they might want to see you sooner
@tater4414, thank you!!! me too. and thank you for advise.
