WARNING: Could turn into a bit of a moan...
I'm 24weeks pregnant today with ID twin girls, I've not had the easiest pregnancy so far. I started getting seriously ill about 7weeks pregnant and by 11 weeks had been admitted into hospital twice due to Hyperemesis. During that time I lost over a stone in weight and even got so down at one point I even considered termination as an option (obviously not something I considered properly, heat of the moment, desperation kinda thing).
Finally managed to get the sickness under wraps with Ondansetron and Metaclopramide, but I got serious constipation from this. Thankfully by 18weeks I could come off the meds, which meant being back to regular bowel movements PHEW!. Two weeks of feeling a bit better, awfully tired still and adjusting back to work and starting to eat more. Then the back ache from my work chair started... two weeks of agony and finally bursting into tears, I seek out my GP who declares I now have spd, YAY! Yet another thing to add to the list of woes... Referred for physio, work do an assessment and order me a new chair (which still hasn't arrived ). This I can cope with.
And then this week... Over the weekend I lose sight behind a bright spot in my eyes and zigzags across my vision, get incredibly tired and unsteady on my feet. So I get checked out at hospital on Monday, apparently a migraine, cue me feeling foolish and sent home for bed rest for a few days and told to slow down and not push myself. Hard when you have a family eh and a house that needs rearranging to make room for two more children. AND to top it all off the last two weeks have seen the start of restless legs at night and heartburn triggered by spicy foods... I could whinge some more about the later two ailments, but I'm sure its something you've all experienced. To put it lightly... I want them out NOW!! Does it get any worse? I know I will eventually lose my mobility... but really, could they give me a break, PLEASE!!
