Q: Really concerned and not sure what to do.

My boyfriend is calling me a hypochondriac because My bp is 151/105 it's been high since yesterday in the middle of the night. I went in to labor and delivery and it was high there as well but after they talked to my OB they refused to run blood or urine saying I had just seen my OB two days prior and that I can wait for 8 days until my next appt. I'm extremely swollen in my hands, feet, and now my eyes plus I had gained 13 pounds in a week but I'm worried if I go back in I'll get sent right back home. My eyes have been hurting I've almost passed out several times but I feel like my OB doesn't give a shit because he doesn't want me induced he wants me to be forced into a csection. It doesn't help that my boyfriend is now just thinking its in my head. Idk what to do. I'm tempted to call the AMA on my OB for the way he's treated me. But idk if I should try to go back or not.

My urine has 2+ protein in it but my blood pressure was borderline when I went in again today they decided I didn't need blood work and sent me home instead. I'm fuming with the lack of care on their part and the fact they aren't taking things seriously. I'm not sure if I can switch clinics this late in my pregnancy but I'm going to try.

You should absolutely go back...it could be Pre-E or HELLP Syndrome, which life threatening. It's not worth the risk. Here is some info below for you.

Go back to the hospital. It is your body and obviously you feel something is wrong. You know your body and in cases like this, you need to listen to it. Pre-E is nothing to mess around with. And it sounds like your doctor is an ass. I hope you find someone who will listen to you and that everything goes smoothly.

I was turned away Thursday cause I'm refusing the csection and my OB is pissed about it. I don't think my daughter is big enough to get stuck during delivery. I'm just worried that if I go in I'll get treated like shit again and turned away.

If you think something is off, definitely get it checked out. Your blood pressure is elevated for sure. I had the exact same signs right before I delivered at 37 weeks and ended up developing preeclampsia right after I delivered. Babies were fine and I was ok but I had to be hooked up to an IV for 24 hours and couldn't have my babies with me. Now, at that point my BP was like 200/100. However my BP was similar to yours at my last appt at 37 weeks and they didn't do anything about it not were planning to since I had a scheduled csection at 38 weeks. I ended up getting one that night due to low fluid levels on one of my twins.
