Hiya everyone... i havent really been online since before the weekend... ive been really ill. going to tell u the story of my horrible weekend now! soz if its long!!
my mum & dad got back from hols on friday and id been having stabbing pains in my stomach since thursday night and it was really tender, i thought they were just braxton hicks. then on friday night they got worse, was just like a constant stabbing pain but still i just didnt think anything of it. on saturday i woke up feeling sick and still had the constant pain in my stomach. i had sickness & diarhoea (sp?) on saturday and was still in loads of pain. i took some paracetamol which took the edge off the pain and my mum took me out 2 get my pram as a treat which was great on sunday i was so much worse, could barely move and was just crying loads. the docs have an emergency surgery at 10 on a sunday morning out here so my mum took me up. the doctor was useless and just said to rest, take it easy and its probs just a faze and they might be braxton hicks. my blood pressure was slightly raised so he said to call the midwife the next day to get my blood pressure checked again. i came away feeling stupid and like i was worrying over nothing.
so 2day my mum rang the midwife 2 ask if she could see me. the midwife went mad when my mum told her about the doctor. apparently the doctor is supposed to ring the midwife on call if any pregnant lady goes into see him. she was the midwife on call yesterday and the doctor didnt ring her. so i went up 2 see her this afternoon, she checked me over, asked about about the pain in my stomach and she seemed worried. said my stomach was really tense and she was concerned. she sent me to the hospital to get checked over. when i got there i got hooked up to a CTG machine (i think thats what its called... i might have got the letters wrong but u no wot i mean lol) then i had a scan, had to give a urine sample, they took blood, gave me an internal and then hooked me back up to the machine while they waited for my bloods to come back.
anyways, everything came back fine. im not in labour, and i dont think they are too worried about anything happening anytime soon, something to do with my cervix they wanted me to stay in to monitor me because they dont understand what the pain is. i can feel the pain and its awful, i just feel like people think im making it up! they probs dont but when they tell u everything is fine and they dont no what the pain is it makes u feel like that!! they wanted me to stay in but id rather stay at home & just relax. although now im wondering whether i should have stayed in cuz im still not 2 good. they gave me magnesium tablets to take but im not sure why, i forgot to ask, sounds stupid but after being in there for hours, i just wanted to get home!! they said to come straight back if the pain gets worse, i can see myself having to go back later tonight because im still in alot of pain.
so that was my horrible weekend!! soz its sooo long!!
hope everyone is ok... just going to read some posts and see what ive missed!!
