Hi,
this is gonna be a very complicated one, I hope some of you will be able to put my mind at ease as I am panicking so much.
Starting my story of the fact I had 6 miscarriages, this pregnancy is the first one that made it to +20 weeks
I am 24+5
I had a midwife appointment on the 24th of August my blood and urine were taken then and I received a phone call yesterday (04.09) that there was a bacteria in my urine. I was feeling fine, no pain peeing no nothing all normal and fine. They put me on Nitrofurantoin.
I panicked because the doctor told me it may cause harm to the baby if not treated. However, my urine sample was taken almost 2 weeks ago and I only just got a phone call so in my head it was not treated for a long time.
So I came back home and checked my baby's heartbeat with my Doppler and it was higher than usual - 175 bpm
It then calmed down to 155 but it was a good few mins on 175. I got petrified, I know home dopplers are not supposed to be used for diagnostics but it made me wonder- maybe it's because of untreated infection?
Because of so many losses, I'm paranoid. No one wants to talk to me, the midwife is not replying, and the hospital said they can't do anything as I am on antibiotics
What do I do? Do I panic too much? Please help, it's so stressful for me
