I am 13 months postpartum from an emergency C-section due to preeclampsia and have a cardiologist appointment on Thursday. Going because I’m still having some BP problems. I’m so scared they’re going to tell I’m in heart failure or something!
Just some things I hate when it comes to answering phones at work:
Customer talking to someone else in the background when I answer the phone like were you not expecting someone to answer the phone?
Them asking “and who is it that I’m speaking to?” Why does it matter?
I’m 1 of 3 women in the whole office so sometimes when I answer the phone people will just assume I’m one of the other women rather than using proper phone etiquette and asking to speak with that person they will just start talking I mean just because I’m a female voice on the phone doesn’t mean I’m the right female on the phone
Hi, I am one year postpartum after having an emergency c-section at 34 weeks for pre-eclampsia. I had a pretty traumatic birthing experience and postpartum hospital stay including a night where I was running “severes” and they had to check my BP every 10 minutes. My BP stayed elevated for months after delivery, and I was on 3 BP meds. I am only now feeling like my body is finally getting back to normal, although I have pretty bad anxiety surrounding BP now, which I never had before this experience. My husband really wants another child, but honestly, I am leaning towards one and done because I just can’t go through all of this again. I don’t want to disappoint him, but I have truly been traumatized by all of this. Maybe I will revisit the conversation a few years from now when there’s been a little more time between me and delivery. Maybe by then some of the anxiety will have eased. I don’t know I just needed somewhere to talk where people might understand what I’m feeling.
