Sat in hospital.. *sighhh*
- Thread starter LouiseH
- Start date
I'm 100% not taking them.
I told my Mum & Nana (Both Nurses) And they were mortified that they've given me these! The side effects they have on the baby is outrageous!!! When she's born she'd have withdrawl from them and stuff. Its been compared imjecting babies with heroin on various websites!!!! You just wouldn't wana put a baby through that torture.
Guna ring my GP tomorrow, and I think a letter of complaint is in order too
Last night was bloody horrendous!!! :'(
I must of got 20mins sleep maximum, I kept wimpering and crying - Trying to be super quiet for the sake of my partner! I can't go to a spare room cause there's only a cot in babies room and I can't bare to sit on the sofa nevermind lie on it
My poor OH ended up awake but half asleep most of the night too, just letting me cuddle into him all night. And now the poor sod has had to go to work at 7:20 till the jobs finished, doing someones garden in this scorching sun! He's guna end up falling asleep or getting sun stroke! I feel so bad.
I couldn't bring myself to take the Tramadol..
I just can't!! Every websites saying don't under any circumstances.
My Mum & Nana are the same, and are horrified I've been given them.
And the pharmacist even said not too.
So I'm 100% not at all taking them. I'd really not sleep and cry constantly then put my precious little girl through that torture & withdrawl when she's born!
But what I am worried about is..
What if when I go on Thursday, there like..
'Oh well it can't be that bad if you didn't take them?'$
And they just dismiss it and blow me off?
Why won't they give me a sweep or induce me?
My stress levels are so high! I'm having panic attacks.
My BP was raised compared to normal yesterday at hosp.
I'm falling (hips giving way) a lot (4 times they have given way this morning and I'm home alone!) Luckily I've not went flat on my face, but its a possibility! So that's ris to me l baby!
Why are Shields hospital so bloody crap?!

If they say that to u hun u should say please show me evidence that there is nothing wrong with taking these tablets whilst pregnant!??? Because so many ppl have advised not to!
At the end of the day is not just your health its your babies and no1 medical seems to bloody care
Sounds like u had a really really horible night hun
I really hope they can do something for you!

I would say definitely see your GP. I'm having lots of issues with pain this time, thankfully I started seeing the physio at 17 weeks but its not helping anymore so I'm now on paracetamol and codeine which helps to some extent but I don't really like taking it. My GP was really understanding and completely understood my reservations. He suggested acupuncture which I have to say works wonders (I was really skeptical!). I was recommended a midwife in the area who specialises in pregnancy acupuncture - could you see if your midwife can recommend anyone? If they won't induce you or give you a sweep this may help with some of the pain. Hope you manage to get some rest soon x
I've rang & got a telephone appointment with a GP (Not my GP - As you just get given whoevers available and then notes and sent to yoyur official GP sorta thing) To talk about SPD & the meds they've given me. Then if they wana see me, they'll have to send someone out to me cause I can't hobble about anymore lol.
I'm already dreading having to try and get to physio later and the hosp again on thurs! Had to cancel an appouintment I had at hosp on thurs (another app for something different at another hoisp - rang & expained and there guna rearrange after I've had baby!) So just need to wait n see now x

Aww louise i know it might be a pain but can you not change hospitals? Im having my LO at the RVI. Ring your MW and tell her your not happy with how they are treating you and see what she says. I know the RVI is abit further away but if they see you they might induce you? I hope you get sorted soon!! Xx
**UPDATE**
Had my telephone appointment with GP! He's not happy about the tramadol at all. Advised me not to take it at all. So I'm not (Had already decided that I wasn't anyway but yano!) Also said that there's nothing much that can be done other then have the baby (No shit Sherlock!) But said that wasn't upto him, was upto my consultant! Aghhh!!!
Also had my appointment at Physio! To be told AGAIN there's nothing they can do
What a shock! Said they could get me crutches but couldn't get them to me till next Thurs So over a week away! Well bugger me I could of fell again several times by then 
Not happy!
So left physio and rang anti-natal, and told them about what my GP & midwife (also rang her and she isn't happoy either) said about being prescribed Tramadol, and that I wouldn't be taking them as I didn't wana put baby at risk. Also told them the outcome of Physio, so MW went and spoke to my consultant and rang me back. He wants to see me on Thurs after my scan (Even though I was booked in then anyway!)
But in all this, I've just realised that I've felt no movement from bubs all day! So now even nore worried & stressed! Guna get some food and then ring delivery and see what they say!
Really need OH to get in from work! x
