Hiya
I only found out i was 7 weeks pregnant last thursday, ive been suffering from exhaustion, yo-yoing emotions and constant toilet breaks for the last month, never dreaming i was pregnant as i was still having periods, went to the docs where i found out that my plans of world domination have been slightly postponed due to pregnancy hehe..
I was starting to feel abit under the weather on saturday but i thought it was just stress as my partner keeps informing me, so i just ignored it and kept going.
It finally reached a peak yesterday during the last half of my shift, shooting pains across my back and down my legs, painful neck, trouble breathing, severe cramping and pounding headache..
Managed to drag myself to A&E where i was seen by a doctor within 5 minutes of the triage nurse examining me.
They diagnosed me with a severe UTI infection, put me on amoxicillin and signed me off work for the next 72 hours.
With the cramping they are slightly concerned so they have booked me in for a scan tomorro to check that it isnt a fallopian tube pregnancy or miscarriage.
I have been checking every toilet run for signs of bleeding which thankfully so far there has been none..
I have been told by other mothers as well as my own that cramping in pregnancy is normal as its your uterus expanding to accomodate the baby.
Work are also being very unsympathetic..this weekend is a prime example of how they think i can carry on as normal even when i feel like crap and im worried i could lose my job because of all these problems..They are less than impressed that ive fallen pregnant right ontop of the summer holidays.
