Barbie

I was 37 weeks pregnant and she's measuring two weeks behind. Just to give context, I was 183 pounds. I'm 5'10 when I got pregnant. Now, Origins wrote that the last weight they recorded for me on the 8th of October is 240 pounds. I delivered my daughter on October 13th at 250 pounds. We can do the math real quick. I had a total weight gain of 67 pounds. I was just eating a normal diet.

I was having like speckles in my vision. I wasn't losing vision. I did not have a massive migraine or anything like some people with preeclampsia do, but I did report. I have some speckles and like a dull headache, but I take Tylenol for it and it's okay. That's what I would tell them. Also at that appointment on that Tuesday, they drew blood work. I don't know when they got this blood work back,

But it's important to note at my appointment, she told me you did spill a little bit of protein in your urine on your dipstick the other day. I remember her saying that. I was like, wait, what? I already had protein in my urine. There was already signs of preeclampsia six days before Sadie was born and four days before I went to the hospital.

With preeclampsia, your organs are starting to, I don't know if the words deteriorate, fail, but my organs were not working at max capacity anymore. So I was just running around with these high values and high blood pressure. The next day on Wednesday, October 9th, I was at work, didn't feel well. I was having speckles in my vision. My head hurt. I just felt sick.

I looked at one of my nurse friends and I said, I think I need to take my blood pressure. She took it and immediately all the color leaves her face. She turns the machine to me and it's reading 210 over 117. And that's very, very, very high. Like we're stroke levels at this point. I'm going, hell no, there is no way this is happening to me.

So I go into an empty patient room and I sit there and I call the origins number picked up. And I told her, and she was like, you need to get to the birthing center. Remember, I'm at work at a hospital. I come out and I say, why don't I go to the birth center and let them check on me? And they're all begging me. There's one charge nurse. She's crying.

And she's saying, Barbie, please go to the emergency room. Please don't go to the birthing center. They get one of the anesthesiologists whose wife also had preeclampsia. And he's saying, Barbie, please don't go to the birthing center. Please go straight to Baylor. This is a deadly disease that's happening right now. I'm just wanting to crawl out of my skin. I'm in complete denial. Nothing's wrong.

I'm going to go. They're probably going to put me on bed rest and I'm still going to get to have a magical birth because my providers have not told me anything's wrong yet. One of my nurse friends drives me to the birthing center. I've already called my husband and he's on the way. And they said, go in that birthing room and just lay on the bed and relax.
