Today i had my regular OB appointment. 34 weeks. Everything seems to be going well, but i told her about how whenever i get contractions or anything that causes my blood pressure to rise that i have these other symptoms: my heart and brain feel like they're swelling up, i get these little black dots in my peripheral vision that fly around, and weird geometric, translucent white spots in my line of vision that just kind of fade away, and i'm left with this strange headache afterwards too...
She said it sounded like it could be HELLP syndrome...which she said is basically like preeclampsia without the blood pressure problem. When i was at the doctor i was experiencing all that, yet my BP was fine. So she ordered some labs and got some blood drawn. She said they'd call me with my results later on. I haven't heard back and it's 5 so if they don't call by midday tomorrow i'll call them back.
Normally i'd go back in 2 weeks when i'm 36 weeks but she wants me to come in next week too. I googled HELLP syndrome and it sounds scary. I hope I don't have it because like preeclampsia the only thing that really cures it is to deliver. I'm not ready for that and i don't want to have to deal with this scary crap.
