First trip to L&D

So I took my first trip to L&D tonight.

I woke up this morning with my right ankle swollen, it got worse throughout the day. Finally, I started googling it to see why only one of my ankles were swollen. Everything told me it was completely normal as long as I wasn't pitting (which is where you push on the swollen skin and leave an indention) well I was pitting. This is a sign of preeclampsia.

So I called the on call doctor at my hospital and she told me to check my blood pressure and if it was high to head into labor and delivery. Unfortunately, I don't have a way to check my blood pressure at home, so I went up to Wal-mart to have it checked (on call doctor told me this was fine). I checked it three time. All three times it was in the extremely high category, the lowest being 163/105

So we went to L&D, the nurse there was a complete and total grump. She lectured me about how dumb I was for thinking this could be anything other then just normal pregnancy symptoms. She accused me of trying to get myself induced because I didn't want to be pregnant anymore (100% not true, everyone knows how terrified I am of being induced). She told me it was clearly because I was trying to hard to have the baby (this is after I told her I had slept all day). Oh, also that Wal-marts machines are crap and I should have never taken my blood pressure there (again, on call doctor told me to go there to take it). She checked my blood pressure and it was back down to normal. I was SO relieved. The last thing I want is preeclampsia. I want my son to come when he is ready. I am still really pissed at how dumb the nurse made me feel though(even though the on call doctor TOLD me to come in).
