Alright I just need to rant a little about my experience with my doctors. I’m currently 38 weeks 2 days pregnant with my first baby. From the beginning, I was not told anything. Like I wasn’t told weight lifting restrictions, what food to avoid, how much weight to gain, etc. I obviously figured that out myself but I just thought it was crazy they didn’t give me a list of do’s and don’ts. They just gave me a list of meds I was safe to take and sent me on my way. My first and second trimester were relatively smooth, no morning sickness, just back aches and headaches. Fast forward to my third trimester, my feet and ankles started to swell, I know that some swelling is absolutely normal but this was excessive. My blood pressure was good until a few weeks ago where they said it was 134/80, nothing to worry about they said even though that is the highest my BP has EVER been. I’m usually around 118 over 70-80 something. Today, my husband and I go to the docs and the nurse took my BP and she didn’t tell me what it is, which I thought was off, then she started asking me questions like are you having headaches, blurry vision, dizziness, etc and I’m like well yes I have been having all of those symptoms. And she’s like okay what about swelling, she turns around and sees my feet and she’s like oh my gosh! So they sent me to get blood work today and I have to pee in a jug for 24 hours to see if I have preeclampsia. I’m just very frustrated because I voiced my concerns with the swelling and the BP issue a few weeks ago and they just brushed it off like it was nothing instead of trying to comfort me and educate my husband and about the pregnancy. I just want my baby to be healthy and her to have a safe journey into this world. Sorry for the length of this, I just really needed to at least vent even if no one takes the time to read the whole thing. Hope all fellow mommas and babies are healthy and safe!
