im 29yo and 31+1 with my little girl and I’m feeling scared and apprehensive, it would be nice to hear from someone who has had a similar experience or who knows about this
i have severe pgp and I’m currently bedbound and unable to leave the house without a wheelchair
i had to go to hospital last night due to a couple of days of red urine and fevers, when I got there my heart rate was 120 + bpm and I was given an ecg all came back fine, they think the pain was the cause of my heart rate. I had a urine test which again was fine no blood just very dehydrated. My bloods came back as possible contamination and upon doing the test again they found an infection but they don’t know what this is yet I have been given metronidazole and cafalexin to treat this while they grow it in a Petri dish. I’m also on dihydracodine and paracetamol for my pain which is constant, they have been really helpful in managing my pain and I can lie in bed painfree when still most of the time. I’m awake every 1-2 hours through the night due to pain at the moment.
my worry is that I don’t know what these drugs are doing to my baby and I’m scared that I won’t be strong enough to deliver her, on a few occasions I have thought that I might be dying, it would be really nice to hear from someone who has had a similar pregnancy and how theirs went after, did you get better and was your baby okay, is there anything I need to know or is there anything I could do to help?
the hospital are very happy with my baby she has been growing well and thriving she is very active and has a strong heart.
I am feeling very weak, I’m struggling to eat and drink enough and I’m missing my usual life, I haven’t left the house except for hospital visits since last Friday, I miss working which I can do from home and I’m often crying out in agony or tearful due to the pain, I am due to have physio when my pain is under control which I’m hoping will start this week or next.
I was 9 stone 10 the last time I weighed myself which was early February, I decided not to weigh during pregnancy as I thought it would get me down. I have gained weight and I think I am over 12 stone, I’m not sure this is relevant sorry.
sorry for the huge message any experiences or advice much appreciated ❤️
