Today I am 38 days pregnant!   Today I also see a totally different doctor, my old doctor from the twins and Zach.  The reason?  Oh boy!   Last Thursday I went to my normal weekly appt and found out my bp was 159/100.  Doctor said he was putting me in the hospital immediately to remove the baby!  we told the kids, stopped by Walmart to get me a book and away we went.  Nervous but so excited to get the baby early!  Well.... once there, settled in and all, suddenly the doctor changed his mind and there was to be no c-section at all.  They put me in ICU and put me on magnesium sulfate for the next few days.  Our family was in shock, no baby after all?  In the meantime, I developed a bad cough, lost bladder control again, and although I was in ICU, nobody seemed to care about my sore throat and loss of bladder control, or the extremely loud bad cough that was getting worse by the second!

At 3 am the ONLY rude nurse I had while there, came and caught me researching side effects of magnesium sulfate only to discover I had some of them already.  I'd already told her I didn't feel well on that drug and wanted off.  I had over heard her and another nurse talking about me and what if I was having side effects.... that's why I was doing this.  She did NOT like me doing that and tattled to the doctor who suddenly appeared early around 6 am and basically did the soothe the patient thing, sorry for waking you, we're going to send you home to rest, everything is fine again.  Well... it wasn't!

We have decided not to use this doctor.  We have no trust in him and found out since that he has done stuff like this to a friend of our son's too.  So we tried to get me back to my old doctor who is in the city not the other place where I was to deliver.

I called yesterday and he talked to me himself and I am meeting him at the hospital today at 11 am and am very nervous.  He's said he sees no reason why baby can't be taken out, and I've got a cough that has ripped my side so bad I can't stand the pain.  I'm hoping and praying he decides to take it today!  He did say delaying 24 hrs if they felt they could stop the cough, but I'm really thinking the cough is worse because of the baby in there!

So I managed to get SOME sleep last night and here I am up at 5am this morning, stressed, anxious and hopeful that something good will happen today.
