Ive been so lucky with my little dumpling. Apart from one day when i took her up A&E a couple of months ago because i couldn't get her temp down and she was throwing up all over everything, ive not really had any health issues with her.
Anyway, this weekend and last night in particular she hasn't been herself. She has been crying and grabbing her lady bits - Trying to claw her nappy off. She doesn't seem red and sore. There has been the odd time when she has SCREAMED when she has had a wee. Knowing how much pain i have been in with UTI's in the past thats what my first thought was.
Also, she has come out in little red dots over her legs and shoulders, i assumed they where flea bites as we are still having problems killing all the buggers (but i still have yet to be bitten myself
).
So i took her to the doctors. she seemed nice enough but hasn't given me any answers. She said she thinks its unlikely to be a UTI as she isn't being sick - doesn't have a temp - is eating and drinking fine. i know i shouldn't really compare it to me, but ive never had any of them problems when ive had a UTI in the past . She thinks the 'bites' are not bites, but just a rash - no reason what it could be, no suggestion if its linked or a separate issue, no help on if i should put anything on it (ive been putting sudocrem on them). I had to almost shove alices arm under her face for her to look at them.
So its left me no clearer as to why she seems in so much pain down below. she has moments of being ok - running around being a pest, then she just seems to droop - will do nothing but hug mummy and whinge. All her teeth are through, and she has never teethed like this before anyway (sorry ladies, most of alice's teeth came though and i didn't even realise she was teething!!). so im happy to rule teething out.
back to the docs - after me asking, she agreed we could send a wee test off if i was happy to collect one. even if is just to put my mind at rest. My evening is going to be spent running around after alice with a pot
Silly question, but when you have taken LO's to the docs, have they had their temp / bp / anything else checked? Doc hardly touched her (alice was clearly not happy to be near a stranger though - maybe she picked up on that ).
Im so annoyed though. Ive been made to feel like im worrying over nothing. Alice is normally such a happy girl, i just have this feeling something isn't right - when a child sits on your lap arches her back and screams whilst she wee's i can't help but think she is in pain!
But saying that, she has drunk LOADS today and she seems to have perked up a bit. Apart from more water and cranberry juice is there anything else i can try to give her to help?
sorry for the long and moaning post. OH thinks im over reacting, but doesn't seem to realise i can't shake the feeling she is in pain and its like im just being told to ignore it. he wasn't the one up all last night with her
