Annoyed

[mummynumnum]

Just found out pg and need to take fragmin. Cant get appt to Thurs as receptionist says it is non emergency. feel v annoyed. Irrational pg mother or right to be annoyed?

And I have really stick neck?Is this a common early pregnancy complaint? Not one I have read about but in agony? V flushed as well

And can I take ibuleve gel when pregnant?

No idea what fragmin is but I was told that Ibuleve Gel (and Ibuprofen) was okay in first 2 trimesters but not in the third as it can cause a heart valve to open or close(can't recall which but is not good!) early!

Not sure that a stiff neck is related - but pregnancy can cause all sorts of changes - my arthritis 0practically disappears most of the time when I am pregnant.

Try again for an appointment if you are worried. A surgery should be happy to give an emergency appointment to a pregnant woman IMO.

Can you not ask if a doctor can call you when they have 5 mins as you need to know if you can take the fragmin? They're happy to do that at our surgery and it saves a trip up there.

Do not take any ibuprofen or NSAID whilst pregnant. A lot of the anti inflammatory gels contain these x

I have factor v leiden and means prone to blood clotting and can cause miscarriage. Had to be referred to haemotologist last time and had day off today so thats why keen to get docs appt,but got to wait till Thurs unless emergency and life threatening which I was not sure I could say it was!

Got an appointment. Yey!

[Owlingate]

Yey don't worry they won't give me my heparin til after they've done a scan which I didn't get till 7 weeks. Everything seems ok so far now at 15 wks. Hope things go ok.
