I spent a few hours in L&D last night - Went there because when I called the OB office, it is basically attached to L&D at Credit Valley and they said to come in.
Around 7 PM I started getting these horrible pains on my right side, and into my abdomen, and they got progressively worse, and it felt like I was going to be sick...so when I called L&D they said to come and and would check me out - Of course I was in tears the whole way to the hospital, in fear of loosing my miracle.
They took me in right away, hooked me up, tried to find a fetal h/b with the things they wrap around your tummy when you are in labour, but the wonderful nurse said she couldn't find it with those, not to worry because they are ment for later in your pregnancy, and she went and got a doppler, and found it right away...that was the longest 5 minutes of my life!!!!!! Tears streamed down my face when she found it.
No contractions, thank god, they think I pulled a muscle on my right side and it is a combo of that and ligament pain because of the way I am carrying...
Still in lots of pain today...took one tylenol because I could not sleep last night
Oh and I had my lovely 1st internal...cervix is closed tightly :) It was not as bad as I thought it was going to be...
Can ligament pain be this bad??
Also - On a positive note, I loved the nursing staff and the hospital...since we will be back there in Jan...no earlier...

awww hun I am sorry you had to go through that! BUT remember that is why they are there is to help you and alleviate some of your worry. I had horrible ligament (sciatic) pains through my whole pregnancy with Davin and sadly it only gets worse as you get bigger. I found going to a chiropractor was the best thing I could have done it made such a difference and I could actually move again after.
ReplyDeleteThe heartbeat thing well..... OMG that is a horrible thing and I can only image 10 times as bad for you as it was for me. That happened with Elyanna and I remember just starring at Shawn in fear and not being able to think or talk or anything!
Just take it easy and remember (bad as it sounds) let Aaron do more things! You are doing the most important thing by carrying that little one and your health and the wee ones are the most important thing right now and everything AND I MEAN EVERYTHING else can wait until later!!!!!!
Love ya hun and take care xoxoxo

Glad to hear everything is going well with you and your pregnancy is proceeding the way it should. I hadn't seen you on ivf.ca in a while, so I thought I would see what you are up to. I had a bad accident about 6 weeks ago just as I was going back to work from maternity leave. I fell down the stairs about 15 feet and broke 3 vertebrae (my neck and 2 in my upper spine) plus I cracked 4 ribs. I am home on disability and will probably be here for the next 2 months at least. I didn't need surgery and just need lots of rest. I am doing better now but am still pretty much house bound.
ReplyDeleteI had round ligament pain during my pregnancy also and it can be quite painful. I found keeping sharp movements to a minimum helped.
