@Totalanimefan: not great. I had a bad experience with a hospital follow up. But I did make progress on some for-fun art, so I guess it wasn't all bad. How's your day otherwise?

@Totalanimefan: I was about to say that sounds awful but then I remembered I can eat more than one meal a day. That suddenly sounds genius.

Today was a bust so I'll celebrate tomorrow. I'm deciding between biscuits and gravy or something with Brussels sprouts and asparagus. Both seem like a party to me.

I hate it when your careful plans get de-railed by someone else. Its super frustrating. You put a lot of time and effort in, you deserve at least a hint of what is going on.

My follow up appointment was the worst. This is why I wanted to give birth at a midwifery. I spent all night and all of today collecting a jug full of urine for them. I watch the doc put a label on the jug, and send it off. Then I watch her tell a nurse she has the wrong labels. Forty five minutes of testing later she lies to me about how they can't use my sample because "the label fell off" rather than admitting her mistake. Then they make me give more blood and wait another hour for those test results. We had to just leave without the results because it was taking so long and they just assured us it was because they were making sure I got the best care possible. Lying doctors are absolutely not the best care possible. I'm so upset.
EDITED to add that she also didn't even numb me for my steroid shot this time so it hurt quite a bit.

@LilMissKushy: Epidurals sound shady, thanks for confirming that for me! I already suffer from back pain and I couldn't be lugging around a tiny human if I hurt any worse. I'll just have to work on screaming no at doctors lol. I'm metal, so that should be easy XD

You guys are so supportive. I'm so lucky to have found Voltra, it kept me from going crazy quite a few times

@Miss Sandman: Aw, thanks dear. I dreamt about having her last night, and things must have went well because I was super happy.

@Amber Lynne: I know a few women who have permanent back problems from poorly done epidurals. I already have back problems from being needlessly tall lol. I'm also the girl who never takes pain medication, even for chronic migraines. I'm really hopeful that I can just take the pain. Having a catheter shoved in my spine and left there for my entire labor sounds somehow worse than the pain. For the cesarean, I'm told its *similar* but its a one and done thing, they don't leave it in you. My mother had to get an epidural twice because the first one just didn't work. Thats twice the risk. Super scary. But who knows what they'll talk me into when I'm in that headspace.

@inatlaka: What did they do for your pain during the cesarean? My friends mother had to be completely knocked out, but my midwife says they usually do an injection to numb you from the waist down... both options sound so scary to me. I haven't even had a broken bone before so I'm a bit weary of hospitals and procedures....

Hypertension. What a thing.
So since I got diagnosed, I had to go to this new midwifery twice a week to monitor my blood pressure and a few other things. The first three visits I had, I was reading normal. My last visit, on Monday, was a bit high. Todays visit it was so high they sent me next door to the hospital so I could get quicker test results. It was speculated that I might have to stay the night, that I might need a steroid shot to get my baby ready to be delivered tree weeks early, and that I might need medication for the blood pressure until the labor was induced.
That was a lot to take in, and they sent me over right away. I was and am still pretty nervous about the whole thing. Good news is they so far are not inducing me, and I didn't have to stay the night. I was hooked up to machines for about three hours, got my blood drawn (which I'm used to) and got the first of two steroid shots. I'll have to go back tomorrow, but at least I get to stay at home tonight.
I'm pretty scared because three weeks seemed like too little time to prepare for my Chance to be here, but now it may be even sooner. I'm about to have a baby and I have no idea what I'm doing lol. Not to mention induction sounds a bit scary, as does C-section (which is more likely with induction). I also planned on having a natural birth, so I'll be feeling the whole dang thang. Ugh, wish me luck guys.

@Miss Sandman: Ohyeah. I'm dead set against epidural, trying to talk myself into being able to handle the pain... I mean, I used to have debilitating migraines once a week and take no medication for it so *hopefully* I don't need to... and I also really don't want a cesarean but if they end up having to induce me, the chances become a lot better that I will... but already she has her own ideas about whats going on and already my plans have changed pretty drastically so... I give up at trying to have plans or expectations at all :p
