Okay so I'm freaking out
Thursday evening I get told I look really pale and asked if I am feeling okay. Didn't feel too bad just really tired. Go to bed. Wake up at 1:30am in excrutiating pain (off the pain scale) and can't move for 2.5hours without making it worse (first freak out). Try pain killers and a hot shower but no relief. HINDSIGHT - should have gone to hospital then.
Friday I go to work but still in a lot of pain - 8/9 out of 10. Ring ob and leave a message. Ob rings back and asks me to go and see her immediately. Lower abdomen is very tender and peaks pain levels when pushed. Walking, sitting, anything really increases pain. Panadol and bedrest ordered, if gets worse go to hospital.
Saturday and Sunday I do nothing all day and pain settles to about 5/6 out of 10. Sunday evening pain goes back up to 8 so DP takes me to hospital. Being 25weeks+3days I am told to go straight to delivery suite (second freak out). Get checked out and tests done - 1:200 chance of labour in next week so that's good. Ob I seen there was great. MW however wasn't soo nice, as she told me I didn't look or act like i'm in pain (I have chronic back pain for 8years now so forgive me if I don't cringe all the time ). Sent home on panadeine forte and bedrest and to ring my ob Monday.
Monday I stayed in bed all day on pain relief and pain settles to 6.
Today I get in contact with my ob (her office was closed yesterday for other reasons) and she is thinking ligament and muscle strain (relief) but wants to send me for a scan to check that there wasn't a bleed behind the placenta which hasn't come out (third freak out) but she doesn't think it's likely just wants to cover all basis.
So... if there has been a bleed, what does it mean? I am just freaking at the moment and need some assurance that bub is going to be okay.
Bub's heartbeat on Sunday night was 140, my pulse was 60, BP 110/60
Sorry it's long, just needed to get it all off my chest
