Advice please, I’m so overwhelmed
This may be long so bare with me. I would appreciate honest feedback too please. And I’m sorry for all my posts today
Anyway- I’m 30 years old on baby #5. I have ALWYAS had normal healthy pregnancies. As I grow older I become more aware of things that can go wrong with health etc. I’ve become more anxious each baby too of all the things that can go wrong. I’ve also had the same obgyn since I was 18 and I’ve never went to anyone else.
Today everything changed for me. Now- rewind. I woke up and took my blood pressure from home ( I do not make it a habit ) but sometimes I like to check it for peace of mind,
It was normal. As the day went on and it got hotter, I started feeling anxious, tired, uptight. Didn’t sleep well las night due to back pain so I wanted to get out of the house.
So I took my two daughters out to lunch and to kohls after. I could feel my heart pounding , I wasn’t drinking alot ( dumb I know) bcus I didn’t wanna need a bathroom every 2 seconds. Eventually we went home and when I came home my puke was 115. Wich I posted in this group earlier. Now, this isn’t the first time it has happened off and on in this pregnancy and in my last! Usually has to do with needing more water or needing rest, I’ve never had anyone tell me it was a concern.
But today I wanted to get checked because I was so anxious uptight hot been crying and I’m just uncomfortable. So I went to the ER thinking I’d be sent to l&d but boy was i wrong. This is where I need opinions..
I go in, they do an EKG, bloodwork, and urine sample and send me back to the er. It’s 4pm when I arrive and at first things are moving quick. They say “ we’re gonna run tests to be cautious of things and then send you to l&d since your so far along and get bang checked out. Well that NEVER happened.
They left me in the er for 5 hours. Never checked baby. I finally get called back dr said labs looks fine, let me hear your lungs, listens and says “ they sound clear “. But your pulse was a bit elevated but Bp top and bottom number are normal. Then says, we’re gonna admit you and run X-rays just in case you have blood clots in your lungs, I don’t think you do but just to be safe, of course I agree. He says he has to call “ necular medicine “ and it’ll take hours. I sit there another 4 hours, still no check on baby or me.
They finally pull me back and the X-ray lady says I shouldn’t be getting any X-rays with such minor symptoms and they barley put in the order for me 20 min prior and they should have checked on baby and sent in the order a lot sooner. Basically says it’s up to me but she doesn’t thinks a little elevated pulse should make them do X-rays. So I ended u leaving because it’s passed midnight. I came home drag a bunch of water and my pulse is now 85 and all normal again. I’m so anxious and worried because the dr how I could die and stuff and I’m overwhelmed. I feel like my baby was neglected as well as I. So I plan to get checked tomorrow however I feel so paranoid anxious and upset now. Did I do the wrong thing leaving? Aside from my anxiety I feel fine but I do not feel the X-ray is safe after talking to the technician.
