Barbie

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.

Looking back, when I said my blood pressure is 210 over 117, they should have said, get your F to the emergency room. But they were like, smell some lavender. It will help relax you. I am fully trusting my provider. My husband gets there and he's like, we're going to the emergency room? Like, no, everything's okay. We're just going to relax for now and see where my blood pressure goes.

I remember them taking my blood pressure three or four times until it was 140s over 90s is what they got it back down to while I was laying there. Unbeknownst to me, my friend who has dropped me off is waiting in their little waiting room. And she told me that Amy was like, you need to leave. They're fine. And she's like, aren't y'all going to take her to the emergency room?

She's like, no, she's fine, is what she kept telling her. And I didn't witness this, but this is what my friend told me, kind of like basically didn't want her to witness this thing, I guess. They draw some more labs. I remember like she was standing at the foot of the bed in the downstairs birthing room. And I said, Amy, I am not above a C-section.

If we need to go to the hospital, tell me and I will go. I will freaking put my hand on the Bible and tell you. She said to me, we're not there yet. There's no need to panic. And we were freaking there. I should have been in the hospital. They sent me home from the birthing center again that Wednesday and said, here's a jug, do a 24-hour urine.

On Thursday the 10th, my husband took it to the lab or wherever he had to drop it off. The results for the 24-hour urine came back on Friday the 11th. We're at home eating dinner. I don't feel well. I was real swollen. I just really felt out of breath. Amy calls me Friday night, and she said, Hey, Barbie, we got your protein back. It's really high, so guess what?

You're going to have a baby tonight. And I didn't understand how high until I'm actually seeing the records now. So just to give context, according to the National Health Institute, the normal amount of protein in your urine for pregnancy is 150 milligrams to 300 milligrams. But mine for 24 hours was 1,440 milligrams. I said, what? What do you mean I'm having a baby tonight? I'm on labor.
