Hello
Just after posting on Friday I had a really bad scare.
Mum was here for a coffee, luckily. I nipped to the toilet and got a shooting pain across my abdomen. It was over in a flash and I put it down to wind. Came back to the living room and started to feel a lot of pressure in stomach and upper abdomen then before I knew it my temperature shot up and I collapsed!
I was delirious (sp) and covered in sweat, I couldn't sit or stand from the severe pain in my upper abdomen and was finding it hard to breathe or speak I was climbing the walls trying to find a position that reduced the pain and was frantically pulling all my clothes off as I was completely off my head and my temperature was through the roof. Eventually I crawled into the back hall, outside the downstairs loo, and lay on my side on the cold quarry tiles, from then on for about 3/4 hour I couldn't move - I was in agony and screaming in pain. I could feel the blood had drained from my extremities as they were ice cold and tingling.
Eventually my temp started to come down and the pain reduced a bit so I managed to crawl back to the sofa and bit by bit it all seemed to pass but I went really cold and was shivering violently. After about another half an hour under 2 blankets and a duvet I seemed to recover and was just left absolutely exhausted and looking like death.
Have issues with Mum not calling for help as had I seen anyone in that condition I would have called an ambulance but by the time I felt well enough to call the docs was closed and the symptoms had gone so didn't seem any point.
It was the most terrifying experience and has left me in a state of shock.
Mum says she didn't do anything as she thought it was a blockage or spasm in my transverse colon - she has had this herself as she suffers badly with IBS. She could well be right as I had barely been eating, had been extremely constipated and then had started to eat again a couple of days before. I know it was definitely something digestion related as the pain was really high but not in my stomach. However am still that she didn't call for medical help.
The thing is I'm terrified that the high temperature will have harmed the baby or worse caused an mmc. I can't get hold of anyone this weekend to help or reassure and really the only thing that is going to set my mind at rest is seeing a heartbeat on a scan.
I am in such a state, I know I need to calm down but hate the fact that I will have to wait until tomorrow to get help.
Am thinking I will book private viability scan first thing as our local private clinic is excellent and will hopefully fit me in as an emergency. Don't think I could wait for NHS cogs to turn.
