Wednesday Hannah and I went to the Dr's appt. Dr was running 1:45 min late... it was like 80 in the waiting room and it was filled to the max with pregnant people and friends etc. When it is finally my turn, they nurse yet again gets a high blood pressure. 130/110 (which from what i heard later should of been re-taken cause the numbers are too close together to be accurate) I am sick of worring about it! So we waited about 40 min in the exam room.. my poor daughter I thought she was going to tell the Dr. to come in cause she was hungry and wanted to leave, after all she is 3... lol . So Dr. come in.. I mention that the last U/S said that the baby was 5lbs.7oz.. he said yes he is a big boy.. he has a few more oz now... Big is he crazy? how is something under 6lbs big? So we get on with the strep b test and an inturnal.. not sure what the finding of that was, I forgot to ask. But we are waiting till next week to schedule the C-section.
So I asked about the Blood Pressure, and if that is why I was feeling werid and shaky.. he said your blood pressure is fine, looked at it and then was like, um you need to go to the hospital for a Tox pannel blood test. Go now.. do you have someone that can meet you there to watch your daughter? I was like "say what?" Then i was like I need to feed my daughter and my self if you taken blood. Which was okay... so shaking even more we went for a fast trip to B.K. for hannah she requested Mac and cheese and a burger for me. Trying not to freak out, I called Jose to see if his mom would meet me at the hospital to get hannah .. but he freaked and met me there too. ( what a sweetie)
In Triage, all hooked up to moniters, B/P 135/70 the nurse was like jeeze i hope this was not just a bad reading that they did.. (seriously) Yeah so the Dr also wanted a urine sample, straight from the source meaning Catheter... OUch! Seriously! So the Blood pressure readings the 3 that they took all normal... the last one being 128/58. Kinda cooll cause jose and i got to listen to the baby's heart beat for 3 hours ( sleepy time) two of the nurses that came in were ones that I had when I delivered hannah. My Labor Nurse remembered me. I did find out that I was having some Contractions... Which I knew cause I have been getting Braxton hicks... I was surprised to find out how many I was really having...
The final out come was ... UTI, and Dehydration.
Glad that all the catheter pain was for something... but the 7 hours with all the wait time at the Dr office and hospital I could of done with out. But I guess that my symptoms for the infection was hot hands and having a werid feeling in my arms.. no other symptoms... but the nurse said it explained it. Okay...
So more to come next week.
