So we had a regular appt today with the OB and, as we had prayed for, everything is on track and normal. The tests that Tasha went through on Monday all came back with flying colors. Preeclampsia is not in the picture at this point and according to the doctor, "It would be a long shot." So that is good news.
What gets my ire up is the complete lack of communication in the doctor's office. Dr. DeJong today made it sound like Tasha's BP being around 140/90 is no big deal. Not what we were told at all on Monday. I seriously think that they are making this up. He said that with chronic hypertensive patients, they allow the BP to be higher and there is no cause for concern at this time. Do you ever wonder how many tests are performed in the medical field on a CYA basis? Is there any wonder why they call it practicing medicine?
So at this point we continue on the path towards October 26th. We have two more appts next week so it will be very interesting to see what the next two doctors think!
Sounds like your doctors have differences of opinions, but tests performed on a CYA basis might not be a bad thing for you guys. At least you're having tests done to make sure everything is ok instead of not having them done and wondering if everything is ok! Glad everything came out normal on Wednesday -- hang in there!
