I was sick my entire pregnancy. Nothing helped with the nausea and vomiting. I told my doctors many times that I just felt that something was wrong. I felt "off". They brushed it off and said that's just part of pregnancy blah blah. at 30 weeks I started to experience dizziness and difficulty breathing. I went to urgent care where they refused to even take me back to a room because "I was having a panic attack and needed to just go home and rest". They not once checked my vitals. At 35 weeks I had another episode where I felt dizzy and couldn't breathe. I followed my gut and went to the hospital. They told me my blood pressure was only a little elevated and I just wasn't drinking enough water. I didn't have protein in my urine, so they sent me home. At 38 weeks my hands and feet started to itch uncontrollably. They immediately induced me and told me I had cholestasis and the baby needed to come out. My induction and labor was 30 hours. I pushed for two hours and my beautiful little girl was born. I was ecstatic to not be pregnant anymore. About thirty minutes after giving birth my blood pressure spiked to 200/100. I got really dizzy and started vomiting. They rushed me to a recovery room and started me on a high dosage of magnesium. My skin was on FIRE, my vision was blurry, I felt like death. I couldn't even hold my baby. Five days I was in the hospital. Days of testing, putting me on crazy doses of anxiety and sleep meds they had no idea why I had high blood pressure. "You just have postpartum anxiety that is why your blood pressure is high". They sent me home. At my daughter’s weight check appointment I was filling out her paperwork and my vision started to get blurry. I told my husband I needed to go back to the hospital and that something was very wrong. I passed out. My husband got me to the hospital where I was admitted. Back on magnesium I went. Another round of burning hot skin, vomiting, dizziness, and unable to be present for my husband or baby. I finally looked at the doctor and said "This is not anxiety! Something is WRONG with me figure it out!!" That is the day they finally put me on blood pressure medication. My blood pressure slowly leveled out and I was released from the hospital. I was on blood pressure medication for a year before it finally got to a point where I could wean off of it. My hope is to share this experience with others so you do not have to go through what I did. If you feel like something is wrong, trust your gut. If you are not happy with the care you are getting at your OB, or the hospital, find another one. Do not let them push you to the side. Do not let them tell you "It's just anxiety" or, "This just happens in pregnancy". That is not always the case. If you feel like something is off, do not wait it out. Your life could depend on it.
