34 weeks and so confused

Maria

Good morning ladies,

I know it’s late/ early... here in California it’s 3am lol and I’m stuck in the hospital, can’t sleep, can’t get comfortable... I’m 34 weeks pregnant, I’m 38 yrs old.. diabetic and what it seems to be with high blood pressure or so I think, that part is where I’m confused lol... so since 2/11 I’ve been checking my pressure at home and they have been high over 140/80 every time I check every day... the highest was today 171/ 107... so my doctor tells me to come to the hospital and get monitor, so here I am but I feel dumb for coming, why?? Well because my pressure has not really not gone up to 140/80.. it’s been in the 130’s/ 70’s... since I got here only one time it got to 149/90... I’ve been here since 2/16/21 at 3pm... I showed the doctor here the log that I have from my results at home... I was here last week as well... and now this time they decided to give me steroids to help mature the baby’s lungs just in case they need to deliver but idk I’m really confused as to why the hell is my blood pressure not high here and at home it is... even when I got to my regular check up at the clinic it’s around the 140’s/80’s... I have no stress at home, I sit and wait at least 10 mins without moving to check my blood pressure... maybe I’m just being to dramatic/ over reacting or something... idk... hoping everything comes out ok for both of us... thanks for reading ladies.. just wanted to vent a lil... my family makes me feel like I am over reacting... just being a dramatic pregnant chick 🐥... so can’t talk to them....
