So I went over two months with preeclampsia being undiagnosed last pregnancy (according to what my doctors figured based on when symptoms appeared and such). They figured it started around 26-27 weeks and then they diagnosed it at 35w5d and had me induced right after my appointment. Because of it being undiagnosed for so long last pregnancy, I'm high risk and they were going to be watching me closely, especially after 24 weeks.

With my first, my only symptoms of preeclampsia were migraines, being light-headed, dizzy spells and blurry vision during the dizzy spells. My blood pressure would be sometimes high, sometimes low, and while I had protein in my urine, it wasn't enough for them to diagnose it. I started having issues with the dizzy spells and blurry vision around 26-27 weeks, and I just started having them the last 3 days again. I'm 27 weeks today.

I was supposed to be seeing either my high risk or OB every week by this point, but due to the virus, they can only see patients once a month. I see my high risk on the 27th and my OB on the 28th. They told me to call the OB office if I have any symptoms of preeclampsia, so we did. They said they'd talk to my doctor and call us back, but we called before noon and the office closed at 5 and they never called back.

I honestly don't even know what to do. We called the on call nurse and she said to keep my feet up and rest, but I've been doing that for 3 weeks because of swelling...

I feel like this is a repeat of last pregnancy and it's honestly pissing me off. They told me they would be watching me closely for preeclampsia this time because it went undiagnosed for so long last time, but so far it's the same game... I tell them something seems off, they tell me to put my feet up, things get worse, they keep brushing it off and then I end up having an emergency C-section early because they diagnose me once my blood pressure is dangerously high. I don't want to play this game this time, I want them to be proactive now so I can have my baby at full term 😭

Not to mention, it's making it hard to take care of my son with these dizzy spells. Yesterday I fell because of one and today I almost fell twice now. I just feel like they don't care...
