Please let your doctor know about the nurses reaction as well. I had a bad experience and spoke up. Turned out the nurse was upsetting many expecting mothers. I'll be praying for you and your bundle!!

wow!!! What a rude nurse. I would tell him that she said that to you after waiting for 3 hours to get a call back but I would go to labor and delivery just to be certain its not pre eclampsia... and skip the dr for now since they are not responding to you!!!

Well eff her. I bet if you would've said you'd stay on hold, she would've done something. I'd go to the E.R. or L&D because swelling up that bad isn't something you just wait around to figure out why.
