To not know what to do when ill & pregnant

[worriedwretch]

I feel terrible
Am write this with eyes nearly closed hurts so much my head feels horrific
I have flu like ache and the bottom of my back is so tender as aches
Ive had a fever and nausea stomach pains feel totally wiped out

Dp taking care of kids but wants to phone MW

I taken sone paracetamol

I'm 36 + 3

Oh no hope your ok. Please try not to panic your 36 weeks if they have to deliver you baby should be fine at that age. Thinking of you x

MW at hospital is strapping me up to monitor in a bit and is going to do bloods etc
Apparently I don't look eclamptic as face not swollen but my head is pounding :(

Have u asked for any more pain relief? Just try to lie down relax and wait for the blood results. You r on a monitor they will hear if baby gets distressed.

worried - hope it's going ok there! You are in the right place whatever happens. Hope the monitoring and blood work goes fine and BP comes down!

Fetal heart rate going from 140s to 190s and everywhere in between. Is that ok??

Docs will tell you, but I think it is normal for it to go up and down a bit. Point it out to nurse when she comes back if you like. Try to relax if you can. You are in the right place now, so you can lie back, breathe deeply, and take one thing at a time.

All ok it seems BP / ctg / urine etc

Being sent home

Which makes me want to cry because I'm so tired and my head hurts and DP will go to work as soon as I get in

Then don't go home go to your mums and have a sleep!!!! White lie this once won't hurt :(

Go to your mum's and have a sleep, then gave a very frank and honest chat with your OH, this really isn't on.

Can you tell your DP that the docs said you shouldn't be alone today, just in case?

Otherwise go to your mum's. You need rest!!

I cannot believe what a jerk he's being.

He just can't! He needs to pull himself together now and support you.

What does DPrick do for a living that's so vital that if he doesn't do it the world will stop turning?

OP he is being utterly foolish. My DH would take a day off in this situation, and he is self-employed so we would lose money.

Home - and DP is here - apparently his boss gave him a dressing down about coming into work when I was clearly poorly. Ha!

:) good!!!!

Oh good!

It's terrible though that he'll listen to his boss and not you on this

The man needs a serious arse kicking

the house was a total bomb site all day and it takes CONSTANT reminders *its nearly dinner time, what do you fancy cooking? ETC ETC

ITS SO DRAINING

How's your head? Hopefully you'll feel better tomorrow as the heat will lessen x

How you feeling today ?

exhausted !

head ache still there, have tried booking an appt with GP incase its some thing like a sinus problem, but cant get an actual appointment til Wednesday :(

That's ridiculous :( can u call midwife again?

The 'helpful' receptionist at my GPs told me I couldn't have an appointment for a couple of days unless it was an emergency. I told her it was, and she asked if I was sure. I politely refrained from swearing at her and confirmed that it was. (The next day I was in hospital having my appendix out). Tell them that it IS an emergency, and that you need to see someone today FFS...

bloody annoying receptionists who think they are qualified doctors

Hows it going? Are you feeling any better?

Any news? Are you ok?

Ditto, how are you feeling?
