spent this past weekend in the hospital...
Get ready for a long story, only because i can not sleep and i'm bored 😂 So I am currently 33w+3d pregnant and when I was 29 weeks I found out I had preeclampsia. I've been put on bed rest, I see my doctor weekly, and i have an ultrasound weekly. My boyfriend is very worried all the time about our baby and my health (which i adore) but sometimes he gets too worried! On saturday I had a headache I figured I was just hangry, so I ate... but it didn't help. I became dizzy and my vision was blurry! I got worried because that's what the doctors ask me weekly if i have experienced those two things. So I didn't want to just jump the gun and go to the hospital so I slept. The next morning (Sunday) i woke up fine. I ended up napping and when I woke up I experienced the same thing! Now, I did take medicine bothe times.. but nothing worked. I called my boyfriend and he rushed back home and took me to the hospital!
I went there around 2PM. I was in Labor and Delivery and let me tell you I was so uncomfortable! So anyway.. my blood pressure was normal the whole time, which is weird because it usually isn't! The doctor gave me some medicine which knocked me out omg! but for some reason I couldn't sleep or rest! So my boyfriend is the greatest man ever and he had to go home. He has to work since I am on bed rest and we got a new apartment that he is paying all the bills for. So i don't mind him leaving... i was just so bored! So the pain to my headache would go down but it wouldn't go away completely! Baby was kicking, moving, and doing GREAT! my doctor didn't see anything else wrong but i had to wait till morning to see the neurologist!
So Monday morning came and I waited and waited... I didn't see my doctor until 1PM 😒 but she came in asked questions and left. The neurologist came in around 4 he said that he didn't seee anything to worry about but he will send me to get a CAT scan for a piece of mind. So the nurses called and told them i was 33 weeks pregnant. When I got down there they didn't know i was pregnant (bullshit i heard the nurse tell you). So they had to have me sign a form and the lady told me that it can harm the baby! Now i'm emotional to begin with but plus the hormones i was worse.. I cried for 10 minutes! Obviously i knew the doctors knew what they were doing they wouldn't send me if it was bad for the baby but the lady freaked me out!! So when I went back to my room (without doing the scan) the nurses and my doctor were PISSED!! they wrote the lady up and even human resources came to me and apologized!
My weekend at the hospital was fun 😒 but the end result is taking medicine and seeing what happens. No matter what this baby boy is coming out at 37 weeks due to the preeclampsia now i just need to hold him in there until then!
