Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Well, I had just gotten taken off the bedrest from the bleeding scare 2 weeks ago when yesterday bleeding started again. it's brown not red this time so Doc checked me out and see some small pockets still around that she thinks are from 2 weeks ago and just coming out now. anyway so I'm back on bedrest and with all the stress (and just being over a cough/cold) I get an outbreak of cold sores on my upper lip. I've had oral herpes since I was kid, and sometimes I'm lucky it's just one little bllister and sometimes it is as man as 30 or 40 and makes talking, eating excruciating. this one just started popping up and it has 8 distinct spots. it's gonna be a bad one. I will call doc, but doubt they will be in til mon and I just don't think it's worth paging them at 4AM. it's not real clear from info whether valtrex is safe durin g pregnancy or not so I can'tt ake the chance til I talk to doc, but in the next 2 hours or so this outbreak will be all set to go and stay a while. when not pregnant valtrex heads it off at the pass and most of te time the blisters just go away within a couple hours, no pain, no hassle. All this when we have our housewarming scheduled (20-40 people coming over the course of the day) Sunday is just unbelievable to me. I had a gazillion things to do but I put myself to bed as ordered and rested and woke up now from the blister and hubby only did half of them. I can't do them so I won't but darned if I didn't want the house perfect for all my snobby in-laws. I'm just feeling mad and depressed and worried about my baby and in pain from my lip and my cramping. I had no cramping til after the exam. it felt like she drove a mack truck down there but I know it's just because it was so sensitive and she needed to see clearly. It's just been a super-sucky last 2 weeks with the future 2 weeks not looking any better. I'm already sick of the bedrest, there's nothing restful about it. With not much to do but lay in bed and feel every ache pain and now the cold sores. sounds like I'm feeling sorry for myself and I am but I just want to cry...

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Colleen - I am so sorry for all of troubles - Right now the focus needs to be on you and the baby and if your house is not perfect then so what and to bad for those who focus on that! I wish you good health and try to remember that you are doing this for the greater good.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 I am so sorry youa re having such a bad time. You can come here to cry on our shoulders anytime. i would not like bedrest either. Can you hang out on the couch and watch tv or in a comfy recliner to at least change positions? Hubby needs tot ake care of the things you want done before his family get there and if he does don't worry about it. your baby is more important than the house being clean for the snobby in laws. good Luck and God Bless, God Bless, Robin Wife to Pup for 15 years Mommy to- and (twin boys, 8 years) and Daughter Madison- age 5 1/2 and new Mommy to- Emerson Roger born July 28, 2004 at 4:11 am 8lbs 7 oz, 20 1/2 inches long.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 oh colleen, i'm sorry you are in so much stress and pain. just try to do the best you can on bedrest, do cross words and puzzles. maybe hubby can bring the puter to you? don't worry about the house, if they can't understand, they don't deserve the thought anyway. screw em...you take care of yourself and that baby. hugs, aka mom2ben99 (jennilee75@...)
