i have posted a couple of time on other threads about how rubbish i have been feeling with the fainting and things. i went to my midwife and was really honest and because i had mentioned it before she sent up for monitoring. i actually had an episode on the way there but i thought great at least they will see.
my heart rate was high as it always is in these this makes me feel like i am panicking but my bloods and pressure and baby and everything else was fine.
so they did the your pregnant thing could be a touch of hypo-tension and sent me home, i actually cried leaving because i know its more than that but what could i do.
so i go home feeling a bit better and carry on about the day and the evening comes and its starts to kick in again the weird off feelings, like my brain just cant focus and i know its coming and i should just get to sleep because that usually staves it off. so i did, about 30 mins later i wake up my heart is racing i am freaking out everything is spinning. that passes after about 5-10 mins then the uncontrollable shaking and feeling like my legs are going to collapse.
i call antenatal and i go in really sure they will help me because this is brand new, they do the usual stuff and then told me i can go home. they think that maybe its a heart thing...but the obstatriction (sic) actually said to me since your pregnancy has been normal you prob just had a bad dream.
they have referred me to a consultant on monday who is going to refer me to a cardiologist but how long is that all going to take?
when i was leaving they said if it happens again come back bla bla bla and i said for what? and they said maybe someone will have a different idea.
i sobbed the whole was out and in the taxi home i really cant keep feeling like this every day and being told i am just pregnant, i know every pregnancy is different but i have had four and never had anything like this, never wishing i actually had something like pre-eclampsia or something so they can get this baby out of me and i can get back to feeling like a normal human being.
i just want someone to say oh thats a symptom ahhh dont worry you have this we can sort it, so now i am telling them everything i feel all the time and probably just confusing it all.
sorry its so long but i just cant stop crying and wondering are they just going to leave me like this for another 5 and a half wks.
