Frustration running high with my doc office

last week Thursday I did a 24 stay in the hospital because my protien levels and BP are elevated my liver enzymes and platelets look fine they keep saying but now here I sit at home can't go to work but not on bed rest. What I don't understand is that my protien levels are above the 300 mark and they aren't even considering delivery yet and my BP even with meds is still high. I don't know what to do I want to tell them look deliver this is getting ridiculous and going back and fourth to the hospital and doctors office (45 mins away) every couple days is getting old and stressing me out. Things aren't going to get any better I already know this I did it with my last two pregnancies. Well if baby is still in there come Monday next week I'm going to insist they deliver I will be 36 weeks

and now to kick me in the face I can't get the doctors office or the nst office to reschedule appts to make them coincide so I'm not make 1000 trips back and fourth and it wouldn't bother me some much but it's 45 mins away each time and that's one way ugh I'm telling you I just want to skip the appts and say the heck with it

They're are always guidelines when they do anything. Although you're still having issues, you may not meet the criteria for needing to deliver yet. And that's a good thing. That means you're stable enough to keep cooking that little bean! You're still over a month away from the due date.  The baby needs as much time of that month as you can safely  give to develop his/her lungs and other internal organs. I'm sure it's frustrating but try to stay positive and know you're doing a great job:)
