Having a rough time!!! Bit of a vent.
Hi
Can anyone give me some advice please.
A bit of my story -
At 11 weeks my Bp went up and I have been on Aldomet ever since (1 , three times aday). Then my thyroid started to play up (I have Hypothyroid)so my thyroxine has been added to, then I get told that I have an irritable uterus - they don't know what is causeing it as all tests that the Dr did were negative and now the most recent was a 4 day hospital visit because my BP went up (even on the pills). The Dr has now doubled the aldomet and things have settled down. To top everything off I have depression and I am takeing Zoloft to help me get through all this.
These days I feel like I rattle when I walk.:redface:
I keep on being told to rest (restrict your activity). I have been resting for most of the pregnancy and things still have gone wrong. Will resting really help???
I know it is selfish of me but sometimes I just wish the Dr will tell me that in a couple of weeks (when bub is strong enough to survive out in the world) he will enduce me.
I really want this baby but I am starting to feel like telling the Dr " enough is enough".
If anything else goes wrong I don't know how I am going to get through it.
Thanks for reading my vent.
Cheers
Chris
New Vent!!! I need help!!!
Hi girls
I have nearly got my voice back and the flu is all but gone :cheer:
Now the new problem is that I hve had both kids sick with the vom & dia. It started last Wed at 1 am with DS and on Friday DD started with it. I have been vom just cleaning up after them.
On Saturday I started to get really bad Irritable uterus. They got that bad that I went up to the local hosp. I was told that I had keytones ++++ and my BP was high (161 over 98). I was kept there for 8 hrs. I was told to drink more water, (but nobody listened that I have been trying to do that but it just comes up as fast as it goes down) I had tried weak cordial and that didn't work. I was a mess I tried everything I know and nothing worked (I basicaly have been vom since wednesday). I don't know if I have kept medications down or how much food I have been able to keep down but I kept on trying.
I was told that the IU was caused by me being dehydrated. I was sent home feeling like utter crap still dehydrated and with BP of 150 over 90 (I was given 4 aldermet while in the hospto bring down the BP).
I am feeling that weary it is not funny. I am still finding it hard to keep anything down myself.
Has any one got any ideas of how I can help myself get/feel better as going to the local hospital didn't help.
I don't want to go to my anti natal clinic appt this week as I have lost all confidence in the local hospital. I think I should have been given IV fluids at least and some thing to help me stop vimiting. I don't think this is good for my baby at all.
I think I will go and get my BP checked by the nurse at the GP and skip the ANC.
Any words of wisdom???
