Guest guest Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Last week I ended up in the ER because I was dehydrated following 3 days of diarrhea. I got 2 bags of IV fluids and they did an ultra sound to check on the viability of the baby because I was having a lot of cramping and some pain. The ultrasound showed that I was 6 weeks pregnant, not the 15 weeks my doctor and I had thought. My uterus was larger than it should be at this time. It turns out that I have a massive infection in my uterus and the doctor is afraid that " we may have to terminate the pregnancy if the fetus is infected, but that most likely I will miscarry in the next week or two. " She started me on antibiotics, I received an IV antibiotic in the office and oral ones for 2 weeks and then she will check me again. I am praying that things will resolve on their own, that the infection will clear up and not have infected the baby or that I will miscarry if the baby is infected as I can not imagine intentionally terminating a pregnancy no matter what. I am feeling very depressed over this and my husband is out of town on business. I just want to curl up in a ball and cry, but I am trying to be optimistic and hope for the best.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 I miscalculated because I have been on the pill and doing the seasonal thing...so I haven't had a period since April 10th. I am feeling much better physically and mentally...I think everything is going to be ok. I think I may need a new OB though...my current one just dropped this bomb on me and then kicked me out.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Hang in there, Davina. Good to know you're on the mend. & hopefully you can find a practitioner with an ounce of empathy & common decency.
