so, am feeling truly dreadful today.
I didn't sleep and have been aching all day. I have carpal tunnel and calf cramping/numb feet due to sciatic pinching; legs and hands v bad last night and haven't got better during the day. I didn't get up and eat, which always makes me sick, so spent all morning vomitting, then hunting down cold cans f coke to make me feel better whilst waiting for toast to hit. This bit has settled now.
I have had backache and stomach pain all day, so have spent the whole afternoon in a pillow nest with a couple of hot water bottles fighting (unsuccessfully) back the tears. I saw MW on Thursday, said that baby's head is 2/5 engaged, v low and may be blocking urethra, as feeling like I need to pee, but can't. 3 US this week -ve for protein, ketones, WBC or any marker of infection, and culture last week was -ve so uti v unlikely. However I now feel like I constantly need to pee.
I have drunk 2.5L water this afternoon in an effort to flush anything out, but have had a couple of thimble sized wees, but that is all. Abdomen feeling more and more uncomfortable. There is no cramping or contractions, just pain. I have drunk tons of cranberry juice too.
I am 31+2 today, and its not been an easy pregnancy, but things seemed to have settled
Any advice peeps?
TIA x
