Talk about a downer... i was in the middle of that cool new movie with Brad Pitt and George Clooney last night when the abdominal pain I'd been feeling all day suddenly escalated to unbearable levels... Felt like period pain x 1000 (8 on a scale of 1-10, hot burning cramps but no bleeding, thank goodness...)
With panicked hubby driving to hospital like a Schumi wannabe, and the nurses in A&E whisking me through to the back at a rate of knots, I felt really scared... They checked my temperature (too high), booked me in, got a few consultants around to have a prod and sent me home with painkillers for a scan this afternoon.
Needless to say I'm terrified - I know that because I have had nasty endometriosis in the past I will experience more pain than the average woman as the womb stretches, but how much pain is normal and how much is not? The doctors seemed to think that there was something going on - am I losing little munchkin before I've had a chance to know him or her?
Scan is at 15h30 - I'll let you know how it goes...
