Did you really just say that?!

So I have been having problems ever since 30 weeks of pregnancy been to the ER three times because of problems.  Since Wednesday I have had swollen feet and elevated blood pressure.  I hate going to the hospital because I feel like they think that I over exaggerate my problems and I can't stand that so I try my best to refrain from going. Since Wednesday. . I take my blood pressure this morning and it's 166/89 and I call they tell me to come.im immediately. I have no way to get there but to get a ride so I ask my aunt.she says "oh that's just a little elevated"
I ignore her and go ask my grandmother.  She says to me "you just want something to be wrong with you. You just trying to make yourself be sick and I'm like are you serious?  So now I'm stuck in the house without a way to get where I need to go with people who think I'm faking and I'm Just tired. Tired of everything.  The hospital. ..my know - it - all family and having to try to plead my case like I'm faking or making things up. Just so aggravated and frustrated I could cry.

Well I'm at the hospital and thank god no protein was found in my urine and my pressure had went down but I have to be induced within the next 2 weeks. I'm 80% thinned out and 4.5 cm dialated.  They said my body is ready for labor...and baby staying in their longer may continue to cause the spikes in blood pressure which could be very dangerous to us both.  I kinda feel like my body failed me. I wanted to go to my due date even though I hear all the time that I won't make it. But what's best for baby is always my first interest

Aspirin should NEVER be taken during pregnancy unless advised specifically by your Dr. All NSAIDs pose the risk of causing birth defects as well as increased likelihood of neonatal cardiac and respiratory problems when taken in the third trimester. It is one of those meds that the benefits really need to outweigh the risks in order for your Dr to advise it. If your BP is that high you should be checked out to make sure things aren't getting worse. I too have several signs of preeclampsia, but I am 39+4 and will most likely be induced on Monday because of it.
