Well, never mind :(.

I'm officially back in limbo again, and I'm really upset at the moment. The nurse called me back to say that because the current results are so "borderline" they canceled the induction. Which, if they feel is best for the baby, I would be fine with...except that my MFM doctor sent the test off and expected the results to come back monday which would tell us the REAL value of the test, and HE said that he's almost completely sure that they would be well above acceptable levels by the induction, so HE said not to cancel. Well, my OB is off on monday for the fourth and none of their lazy staff wants to drag their sorry butts in to call for the test results on monday  so they canceled the induction. They said the best option would be to admit me until the delivery so they could monitor my heart, and I refused point-blank. I told them I have a baby girl to care for that no one else is gonna be able to watch her while they p*ss around on holiday. So for now they pushed the induction back to the thursday after next, because until they get the results back showing the lungs have reached maturity (which they should've been able to get MONDAY if they weren't so lazy) they can only do the induction at 39wks.

I'm really angry and upset right now...obviously I want to do the best thing for the baby, and I really want to wait until the levels are high enough to know that he'll be safe being induced, but at the same time...it's not like I was doing this induction on a lark. There's some really serious stuff going on with me, and I"m sorry I don't have the OPTION to be in the hospital for the next week and a half to two weeks while they screw around.

Most likely they're going to get the results on TUESDAY (the day I should've been induced) and she said since they'll probably come back OK they'll just reschedule the induction for later in the week, but I don't understand why they couldn't have SOMEBODY call for the results MONDAY (from home, if need be) and keep the tuesday induction scheduled if the levels were ok and if not then we could go from there...but they're RIGHT On the edge, so it's not like there's a good chance they WOULDN'T have been high enough.

I just really feel like the whole thing has left me in a bind and I'm scared and nervous and worried...all of my symptoms are still a serious issue and now I have even longer to wait and hope something doesn't go seriously wrong...I just feel like I just spun the wheel of Russian Roulette and now there's nothing to do but hope for the best.

Like I said I really want to do what's best for the baby but at this point I really don't feel like that factored into their decision. If the MFM had told me "there's no way that the results will be high enough by tuesday, you need to reschedule" I would have no problem..but obviously he thinks that the results on monday would've been different...

ugh IDK but I'm in tears because I'm so frustrated and yes, I'm terrified.

Sorry you guys are probably so tired of this whole drama I apologize if I seem like I'm whining but I'm really quite frightened and upset.

[faye83]

I'm sorry for what you're going through! I'm sure eerything will work out and soon you'll see your baby :-)

[waitn838]

no need to apologize to us...we are here to listen....my gosh what a whirl wind to be going through....i hope for your sake that time flies by and your health holds up through this...try to take it easy over the weekend....best of wishes that everything goes smoothly and hopefully next week they will schedule an induction for you

[Cassandrajane]

You go girl. I would have a right go too....


I am so sorry this is happening to you, I know how you feel, Migraines and losing your vision is pretty scary pregnant or not. I am scared LOL...

I would demand an Apt this week. If not you will file a lawsuit for screwing you over.
Take them on Judge Judy,

[Ashelen]

Well I called back to ask exactly that and they had already closed for the day, Laura. It was like 450...go figure. Anyway, yeah, what's gonna happen is I'm going to call first thing tuesday morning for the results, and if they're up like my MFM thinks they should be...then I'll be requesting...demanding? that they reschedule me for wednesday or at the latest thursday. Their dates are like a day off from mine which would put me at 39wks next saturday (instead of friday), so if they decide to wait until 39wks that means they won't schedule it until the next monday at the earliest because they don't induce on the weekend.

this is just one big mess and I'm so frustrated...I'm sure I'll have a new date on tuesday but it just seems so ridiculous. I'm also scared because this means that I have another week potentially with these freaky symptoms where it's just me and my daughter at home together and it scares me so bad that something's gonna happen where I won't be able to see her, or I'll pass out again...Sigh. Oh well, I'm not sure if my OB's office is closed tomorrow or if they have a half day, but I do know that I plan to call first thing in the morning and see..and if they're open, I refuse to talk to the nurse I'll be talking to my OB and demanding some answers...such as "if this is so serious, why is it OK to keep screwing around and pushing it back??"

[LauraB78]

Are they willing to reschedule for say... Thursday? That way, it's pretty close to the same day you were originally scheduled or are they telling you no rescheduling until they have the results in hand?

[Clysta]

Ah. Hopefully they can set it up really soon for when they do get the results. (Though I still think it's stupid to completely cancel it, even though I understand why) I hope everything goes well for you until you get the results and figure out what to do next.

[Cassandrajane]

Ohhh......
Im extra scared about my Migraines now. They are bad atm... I go dizzy and Im unable to move and go blind in one eye.... and thats why I took the tablet... But I had my reaction...

They could have told you BEFOREE the apt and results date was booked that you wouldnt get it on the monday because if its a PUBLIC holiday surely they cant forget it. So actually they misled you and treated you unfairly and not right.
I would go mad if it was me, And I wouldnt be addmitted anyways the longest Id stay in a hosp for is when I have the baby and if I HAVE To stay in any longer... LOL...
I know how you feel, when I was in hosp this guy and fractured his Skepter or something like that,... LOL. and He SCREAMED for 4 hours... straight. It scared me, the person in the room next to me stopped breathing and had to be resussed. And I was all on my own with no one to talk to getting worse and as my chest got better, my Migraine came back.... Worse than ever I couldnt even blink...

[Ashelen]

thanks ladies...unfortunately no they can't rush the test I mean they can try but they have to send it all the way from FL to CA so I doubt it'll be back before monday...I guess the lab is going to be open monday because the MFM nurse said she would call for the results if I wanted and my OB could call her...too bad my OB nurse isn't as dedicated.

and yeah that's what my MFM had originally suggested we do, Clysta, but unfortunately the OBs office is trying to cover their butts legally so they're just canceling it completely until they get the results.

[Ashelen]

Thanks...I'm sorry you had to go through that :(...it's really scary when something like that happens and you're pregnant because there's so much more to lose if something goes seriously wrong...

I started having neurological complications with my migraines a few weeks ago, I was losing my vision for several hours a day and getting numbness in both of my arms and my face and neck..and I'm still getting all of that, but last week my blood pressure started bottoming out 76/37...and so they switched my heart medicine and my BP got a bit better, but my tachycardia got worse and they readmitted me this past weekend for a few days because my heart rate was staying above 150 most of the time, resting. Basically I think my body has just decided it's done with the pregnancy and everything's going haywire, and my neurologist, Maternal Fetal Medicine expert, AND my OB all opted to induce me early because they were afraid that things were going to continue to get worse until after I delivered...and so they ordered an amnio to test the baby's lung maturity before scheduling the induction, because they have to by law before 39wks.


well the amnio came back high enough for some doctors, but it's considered "borderline" to others....and apparently my OB falls in the latter category. they sent the tests off for a more comprehensive panel and the results would have come back monday, and the MFM who preformed the test said that on monday he's pretty sure the results would've been good enough to keep the induction date for tuesday, but because no one will be in my OBs office on monday to get the results and they're lazy SOB's apparently they canceled the induction until they can get the results TUESDAY and reschedule after that.

Like I said if I felt like this was for the best for the baby and/or me, I wouldn't be so upset (just disappointed and scared) but I really feel like they just don't want to go the extra mile....and there's NO way I'm being admitted until delivery.

[Clysta]

I don't think you're whining at all. You have every reason to be upset and worried. I'm really sorry that they're doing this to you. They don't even seem to be concerned about what is going on with you. (sorry if this sounds stupid, but I don't know how inductions work) Do you have to have it set up in advance to get the induction? Couldn't they still do it the day you get the results if it shows the lungs being mature enough?

[LauraB78]

OMG.. I feel for you. I can't imagine the stress and nervousness you must feeling. I just thought I'd add, & please don't be upset, but the office that has the results is likely closed on Monday as well. It is a nationally recognized Holiday so I doubt even if someone was willing to call on Monday, they would get anyone on the other end (at the lab, I presume) to give results. And by saying this, I am in NO WAY trying to minimize your situation, just giving another perspective. Is there ANY way they can get the result sooner? Could you call the lab that is running the tests and ask them for a rush? Geez, I wish I had better advice to offer. =(  Best of luck and please keep us updated!

[BTS1022]

Whine away darling!!! And don't feel bad about it. Thats what we are all here for anyways right? Hopefully someone will make a good call and soon, that way both you and Grey are and stay healthy!

[Cassandrajane]

Oh No. I am so sorry. I Don't know whats going on with you too need the induction and feel rude asking. LOL.
But I can tell its a really big thing for you. I am really sorry :(

I was in Hosp monday was taken by ambulance....  because I had a reaction to a tablet for my Migrains right... well when the paramedics arrived they said i was a time waster and nothing was wrong. I COULDNT FREAKING BREATHE, they took me and about 6 hours later they were back with another patient and the man said to the woman 'I am suprised she is still here, she was fine' No I wasnt! LOL

Anyways I was moved and wasnt allowed to leave untill they heard a heartbeat, It was hiding behind mine haha...

anyways...
Basically i was annoyed with the way the paramedics were with me and it really upset me. So I kinda know where you are coming from with the hospitals ***** footing around and it not being fair? I bet they dont know what we are going through... and they think its all fine.
Its not that hard to make a poxy phone call. Offer to pay their wages yourself if needs be, as long as you get those results.

I am sorry :(
