I went to the perinatologists office yesterday for my weekly visit with him and my BP was high 140/91 and I always run 120 ish over 70. NST and soon of babies were great, but there was a little protein in my urine. He said go to the hospital if I have headaches shortness of breath, etc.
Well after the visit, our vet called with some bad news about our 13 y/o dog, whom he has been treating there for 3 days. There is nothing more that can be done for him (he can no longer walk) and needs to be put down today (sat)
so of course I bawled my eyes out. Took an epsom salt bath, and then developed a headache later on that evening, right before bed.
Went to bed, and woke up with an even worse headache (migraine) BP was 138/88. Decided it was probably from crying earlier that day, took 2 tylenol and went back to bed. Woke up again, headache still here and sys BP (wrist cuff machine which is typically accurate) was at 141/93! Systolic seems to be fluctuating from 133-141 diastolic from 83-93.
Its 330 am, tomorrow is sat, my only option would be going to L&D in the am because both my OB and Peri are closed. Babies are moving well and often I should add.
My fear is they're going to pressure me to have a c section, simply because that's how they are (im 36+1, babies are 6+ pounds and both breech right now), regardless of whether this is true pre-e or just stress from our coming loss.
Should I go to the fire station tomorrow am and see how the BP is before deciding? Do u think i should just go regardless?
We have to be at the vets at 1130 and I KNOW it will be high after that.
I feel like a ninny for asking, but WWYD??
