Doctor Day!

So I had to go to the doc by myself without my 2 little sidekicks and my question asker. I am not much for asking questions even when I need to and I always regret it. Dang nap times and late appointments. My appointment wasn't until 2:40pm. So glad these appointments are over!!
So first of all there wasn't much change in my dilation or anything which is annoying in itself because I have been having a lot braxton hicks and contractions. But such is life. Then she tells me that I have protein in my urine and that my blood pressure is high (140/80) so she wants to get this baby out of me. She agrees to let me wait until Wednesday to induce me probably because that is her day that she is on call. Wouldn't want to have to call her in when she isn't. lol Jk But it has really got me stressing because I didn't want to have to be induced and it really scares me that they are going to jump to a C-section really quick!
I have had this sick feeling in my stomach for most of the pregnancy that my doc was going to be one to want c-sections. The 2 people that I know that go to this doc have had c-sections and she is a young doctor all about business. Not to say she isn't a good doc but I am definitely changing docs for our next kid. And now that she is telling me that my blood pressure is high it is make me even more sick to my stomach that she is going to TRY and get me to have a c-section. I am just glad my mom will be there to back me up!
So getting this news about the protein and the high blood pressure I am trying my best not to stress. I am reading a lot about pre eclampsia and how I can try and prevent it. I haven't been eating a lot of protein lately or walking. I felt so much better when I was walking a lot so today I have walked 3 miles! And I am making myself eat more protein and other things to help with the situation. Who knew I needed to eat 150+g of protein! That is a ton but bring on the milk and ice cream and meat!
And I just pray that on Tuesday that I can put myself into labor and not have the baby before Tyler's parents get here that night. (they changed there flight from wednesday to Tuesday) I really dont want to have to be induced and I am not having a c-section! So pray that my mom and I can run this baby out of me! If not then this baby will be born sometime on Wednesday the 28th!
