Just coming on here to rant/also look for advice
I'm currently 32 weeks pregnant, pregnancy has been fine up until just before Christmas. Went for the glucose test and took a seizure in the waiting room. Due to previous seizures in other pregnancies I was referred to neurology, neurology referred me to cardiology and my appointment is next week. Anyway, last Sunday I ended up in hospital as my heart was aching and feeling fuzzy, I felt faint and tired etc, I got an x ray, bloods taken etc and everything seemed okay minus my resting heart rate being very high and my CRP results came back as high. Due to this the consultant asked for me to have bloods done again this week to check my levels had came down. In meantime I was still feeling very rubbish in myself, absolute shattered, faint etc so I got myself signed off work as I am a home carer and it was getting to much with such a physical job. Anywho the midwives phoned me to say I was anaemic so needed to start iron tablets asap so I've since been on them and feeling better. Had my bloods taken again yesterday and my liver function levels have doubled so Ive now to get an emergency scan on my liver, I've had loads more bloods done, waiting to see if I have an infection, autoimmune disease or if I could have cholestasis, although the dr said because I am not itchy it isn't likely this. Anyway, I am measuring a week behind, so today the consultant asked for a growth scan, more bloods, and then a follow up with her once I've had both these done. I'm due back to work next week and I have 8 hospital appointments alone next week for my heart, my liver scan, midwife appoint, growth scan and consultant visits so I've asked if my first day back I could have off as I've 3 back to back appointments and my work have said they're too short staffed to let me off and unless I can work another day I should try rearrange my appointments. I don't feel like this what I need to do at all as staffing is absolutely not my issue what so ever, and my health comes first. But my work don't see it like that. I'm exhausted already thinking about trying to deal with them and fight my corner in why I should be allowed to these appointments, I feel like extending my sick line even though I feel okay in myself. They've still to confirm my maternity leave and I've told them there is a chance due to this liver issue that I'll be induced at 37 weeks and would need to come off on maternity leave earlier than expected and this email went ignored. Is there anything I can do in regards to work??
Also has anyone had anything like this with their liver in pregnancy? I don't know yet if it's pregnancy related or not and with the scan I don't know if it's like a CT scan I'll be getting or like an ultrasound on my liver?
Sorry for the long post
