I'm just on my way home from maternity triage at the hospital. I am 23w 5d pg and woke up to tummy ache, menstrual type cramps and lower back pain. I was unsure if this had anything to do with the SPD I've recently been diagnosed with but left it a bit then called the midwife when back cramping got stronger this afternoon. She advised me to go to maternity triage at the hospital.
So off I went, got there at about 4pm. Was deemed low priority but seen by a nurse after a couple of hours. She listened to baby's heartbeat and said a doctor would be along "in a while" to have a quick check of my cervix. Another 2-3 hours later(!) I finally got to see a doctor who didn't seem concerned and who said it was probably constipation. Anyway, I'd been there 5 hours, have a history of cone biopsy and even though prem clinic are happy with the way my cervix is looking I had a niggling voice in my head tell me to get my cervix checked to make sure it was closed.
So I asked her to check it. She did and it was closed but the speculum hurt like buggery! It was a really sharp pain and now wondering if my interfering has done more harm than good and should I have just left well alone and not got her to check? I'm now scared I will start bleeding and have another day of worry. I'm really stressed and wiped out. I never seem to be able to trust my own judgement and I can't take any more worry :(
