I'm 27 weeks pregnant today, and although in genuinely thrilled to be having baby number 2, after 2 miscarriages, I'm just so done with the amount of pain I'm in.
I've had PGP since 15 weeks, due to the sheer amount of pregnancy hormones I had in my system. I'm now on 30mg/500mg of co-codamol and quite literally, bed bound.
I can't walk more than 20 paces without wanting to vomit from the pain, the only comfy position is lying down on my side, and the drugs are just making me drowsy and reducing the pain from a 10 to an 8.
I have a 2 year old who's non-verbal and non-comprehensive of language and Autistic, and he is extremely demanding.
I'm thanking all my lucky stars that my Husband is a SAHD so is here with us both 24/7. I just feel it's getting too much for him. He's having to look after me, and our little boy and I just feel so useless.
He's not complained once, and is absolutely fantastic and so supportive and understanding, I just feel so guilty. I'm leaving him to do everything whilst I essentially lie in bed on the verge of tears. This has been going on for three weeks now. (That's when the pain reached this level, up until then I'd been vaguely able to deal with it)
I have a support band for my hips and stomach, so the few times I've had to go out (midwife, doctors etc) I've worn that, but it doesn't do much good tbh. Physio and massage is a no go because I have Fibromyalgia, and my Doctor strongly advised against it. (I did try it though, and he was definitely right - it hurt. A lot. )
I just don't know how to go another 13 weeks like this. I've got so much to do in terms of house work, and prepping for the new arrival, but I physically cannot do it.
Did anyone here get admitted to hospital for this level of pain? Did they offer anything stronger? I'm just at a complete loss as to what to do.
Thank you
