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.

No, don't take aspirin while you're pregnant. One of the dumbest things I've heard on here. Everyone thinks they're a doctor. Just relax. Take a bath or shower. Aspirin can harm the baby and will do nothing to reduce your blood pressure.

I agree , just take a shower & relax . If you have any aspirin take one of those as well, and keep yourself hydrated with plenty of water . Nobody knows what you feel but you! They sound like grumpy people .

No wonder your blood pressure is elevated. You seem to be very easily stressed. Drink some water, go lay down or take a relaxing bath.
