Bit long winded but I'll explain why I ask.
Went in to day assessment unit last week, because I have had a really sore bump, all below my belly button only way I can describe it is feeling bruised. I wanted to get it checked because my placenta is at the front.
They didn't seem to take much notice of this.
Monitored baby for a while as I've had very up and down movement.
Did BP and heart rate - heart rate was at 100 which they said they wanted to retest in a while as it was probably just raised because I'd been waiting around etc. Said if it was still as high they would do an ECG.
Worried me slightly as I had emergency section last time, and was hooked up to
ECG near the end as my heart rate was sky high and not coping (I'm having planned section this time)
Went for a scan and came back and there had been a staff change over of doctors. The doctor didn't have a clue what I was in for, started talking about a growth scan I'd had the week before, and then mentioned the scan I had that day, (I was 37+5) and that there was a lot of fluid but it was only marginally above the acceptable level so not worried because my section is booked in anyway. (Fluid not been an issue previously)And wanted to send me on my way.
I said well they said before my heart rate was high - she said oh your probably just anaemic we'll do your bloods. I decided to go home and put my Fitbit on that I hadn't been wearing, to keep a track of my heart rate and for the last 5 days resting heart rate has been between 105-120.
I phoned up to ask about blood results - all clear. I said so is my heart rate an issue then? She said I spoke to the dr and he said not to worry it won't have really been that high it will have just been due to you waiting about, I said well it's still that high because I've been monitoring it at home, to which she said it will only be high because your monitoring it!!
It's on my Fitbit so I'm hardly worrying and then checking it so it's coming out high!
I feel so fed up, I've had acid reflux constantly since yesterday, it won't go away not even with medication, my skin on my legs feel so itchy I'm so uncomfortable, I'm constipated, and just generally feeling very anxious and stressed and just have this feeling that something could be wrong.
I feel like an absolute wet lettuce - never thought I'd feel like this with second baby. I'm booked in for a section week on Wednesday and I don't know how to cope until then
