Why do doctors gaslight you?!

Haylie

Swollen hands, constant headaches, high BP readings (around 140/95 when I’m normally 110/60) at home and in office, spotty and blurred vision, yet they continue to NOT test my urine or blood for preeclampsia. They haven’t tested my urine this entire pregnancy.

This is my 3rd pregnancy, my last pregnancy I developed sudden preeclampsia and had to deliver at 38 weeks. Yet this time around they’re just waiting for it to get worse before they even test. I asked for testing today to get a baseline but they refused and said they’ll do it “once it gets worse”

I have literally no other options bc we already live an hour away from the hospital/OB’s in our area. I’m just so frustrated and feel like I’m not being taken seriously. Why even go to appointments and tell them my symptoms if they’re just going to say I’m fine and “see ya in two weeks”
