Frustrated isn't even the word to begin to describe how I feel right now. To make a long story short...as my pregnancy is progressing seemingly normal, my blood pressure is taking off. My Dr. has sent me now twice to the maternity ward in the hospital for monitoring due to the bp being so high in the office (198/100) but when I get to the hospital there readings are not so high and thankfully all the bloodwork is coming back good. They have increased my bp medicine yet again but finally now they are sending me back to the perintologist. I am scheduled for the 25th for my 20week anatomy scan with them, but I feel better I will get to speak to the specialist before that and maybe get some answers. I am not functioning. I almost fainted twice this week in the store and I lost my balance a little just taking a shower. I feel horrible. Her heartbeat is steady though thank god and my bump is growing so that's a good sign. I haven't really felt much movement yet though which is a little concerning...but I also have some meat on my bones, so I'm chalking it up to that. I just pray baby Madison is hanging in there and doing ok and hopefully they get my shit under control. lol...rant over

 | Comment from aprilluvsmoz » Posted Sep. 11, 2015 11:06am I'm sorry you are dealing with this. I dealt with this in my pregnany, everytime I went to the doctor it began to elevate after I hit eighteen weeks. I never tested positive for preclampsia but I was just diagnosed with gestational hypertension. I wish they would have given me answers, my vision was blurred and headaches were the worse, I even had protein in my urine! I hope you feel better, unfortunately its probably going to be the wait and monitor game for you, I played it until they induced me for high blood pressure at 39 weeks. Best of luck in your pregnancy. |
