Been to Docs Today

[happy-chick]

Ok I went to the doctor about how exhausted and sick ive been feeling constantly and also the pains & water infection type symptoms that ive still been getting....

I do have a water infection so I'm on antibiotics for that, its been painful for about 3 weeks so doc said that wont be helping the tiredness etc. He agreed that my iron levels are low and have probably dropped since the last blood test so has given me some iron tablets to see if that helps.

He's said give those a couple of weeks and let him know how im feeling in a few weeks, fingers crossed i'll feel a little perkier very soon cos its seriously getting me down

Ive had 3 water infections in this pregnancy so far Chick and taking antiobiotics right now too. I feel really poo this week aswell and sometimes can't tell difference between stretching pains and infection symptoms.. so I sympathise hun As for symptoms, I dont get burning sensation but I am very tender down in lower abs and also lower back pain, but not sure if thats related or not! Also got a fever and slightly raised BP with this one. (Can feel my heart thudding in my chest)..

Out of curiosity what antibiotics were you given? Im taking cefalexin which doc said were obstetric recommended for preggy women. Hope things get better soon xx

poor thing, I cant believe you still feel so awful. Im taking iron just 3 a week - but I definately feel the benefit I hope you do too.

This is a long shot but maybe try avoiding white rice/pasta and starchs for a bit - my friend had recurrent UTI's (urinary tract infections) and a healer type lady told her this - she has never looked back - maybe worth a try, you wouldnt lose out on any nutrition anyway.

Doc has given me Galfer FA which are Folic Acid & Iron and gotta take one twice a day so here's hoping I feel an improvement
