So, I actually saw a doctor today and not the nurse practioner. Yea!! Of course she said that there was a lot of overreacting and she was shocked to hear that they had wanted to send me to the hospital. She agreed that the tests needed to be run, but she agreed that they should have explained things better and done a much better job at keeping me calm! My blood pressure was just slightly raised today, but she said it was probably because of going in there...hmm...seems like exactly what I kept trying to tell the nurse practioner. Anyway, she also said I am fine to fly, so no concerns for my upcoming MN trip. Overall, I feel a hundred times better and will obviously not be visiting anyone but the doctor from here on out.
Oh...and she also mentioned how proud she was of me for getting a doula. This is a good thing because my doula said that there are still quite a few doctors/hospitals out there that don't like doulas being present. So, I was happy to hear that they support doulas as a practice. (for anyone who doesn't know, a doula is a trained professional that is there as part of the birth to help protect the mother from unnecessary procedures and what, also there to help with the coaching part)
7 months pictures will be posted soon...
