My last thread said this
i've been in pain since 7 weeks and bleeding on and off , had 3 scans and 1st said i had bleeding on left. next 2 scans ok and saw consultant at same time she checked me over and asked lots of questions then got another consultant to come in the room and do the same.
no idea could be ligaments stretching one of them said, well im having baby no 4 and i know what that feels like but its shooting pains then constant agony was told to take paracetamol which didnt work ,now taking codeine tabs, last night i threw up everywhere.
off to doctors shortly had to get emergency appointment which receptionist said i should see midwife when i'm told by consultant to go to see doctor if pain wont still go.
i've had enough , oh urine tests are all negative of probs.

just got back from doctors and i explained it all she didint look at my pregnancy folder, nor did she take blood pressure despite it being high last check, she said take these wrote out a perscription and it was for codeine which i was told to take on monday by consultant. this is what i told the doctor i had taken and was violently sick on them last night.
do they ever listen i'm sat here in agony with my ds's aged 1 and 4 my dp working nights so in bed. what do i do? to make things worse we cant find a house to rent and if we dont get one by 2nd week in jan we are homeless with 3 dc 1 on the way , 2 dogs and 2 cats i could scream!!!!

I'm so sorry, bumping for you, I think this is shocking

needahand · 06/12/2007 14:17

I don't know, I think you should go back to see your consultant, or go to A&E so that they can refer you to the obs department?

Shocking though

How many weeks pg are you?
If it was me I'd go to A&E, or ring the maternity ward and demand to be seen.

madChristmasmouse · 06/12/2007 14:27

Wow, while certainly not the cause of all this the stress and pressure you are under certainly wont help!Homelessness with small kids and bump is a scary prospect.

Is it an idea to see a midwife? An experienced midwife has seen it all and maybe make more sense than a GP who is wearing her 'lets write a prescription' glasses.

Re: Your housing, are you on the council waiting list? You must be very high priority if/when you do get homeless and if you have not spoken to them yet do so now. They may have some practical advice and if you do become homeless and it is not your fault they have a duty to house you.

francagoestohollywood · 06/12/2007 14:28

Have you got the number of your midwife? I was given her number for when she wasn't working at our surgery.

babywhiting · 06/12/2007 14:29

I would demand to be seen asap, scanned again and check bp. I'm not a doctor, so I certainly can't even imagine what it is wrong, but shooting pains/bleeding on and off etc should be taken seriously. it is your right to be seen. call the maternity ward.

orangina · 06/12/2007 14:42

Sorry to hear this babywhiting, can completely understand your frustration. I understood that from 20 weeks you can always go to the labour ward to be seen by a midwife/consultant and the be referred on if necessary. I developed a hernia during pg number 1, but didn't know it at the time. Was quite worried about the lump and the pain, took myself off to the labour ward, who were very nice and arranged a surgical consult, who confirmed what it was, addressed my concerns etc, and then I was discharged. Admittedly it did take some hours, but most of that was tucked up in bed, being monitored with a cup of tea and a newspaper, so it wasn't all bad!
Would recommend you go to your labour ward and admit yourself. I don't think you can be discharged until you have been sorted out. What are your childcare arrangements for your other children?

francagoestohollywood · 06/12/2007 14:43

(taken seriously by doctors, i mean, of course i'm sure you are taking it seriously [)

daisynova · 06/12/2007 15:32

I'm allergic to codeine and it makes me violently sick if I take it. Maybe you are having an allergic reaction to the codeine.

As for the pains, go to A&E and demand to be seen by an OB. They can't leave you in pain.

babywhiting · 06/12/2007 18:57

i've told my dp all about it and i've complained at the surgery that i never want that doctor ever again.
i've rested this evening as dp ran about sorting dinner and kids. now giving kids a story and drink as its bed time.
good news for less stress is we've just been offered a house it will be for a year until we get a mortgage. so i'm happy.
pain will stay till baby is born meanwhile i'm just gonna shop for baby things to keep me happy designer outfits here i come!!!!!
