Ok, trying not to get myself worked up about it as my mom keeps telling me not to do.... ------------------------------------------------------------------ My first 15 weeks of pregnancy were spent on the couch watching a LOT of Veggie Tales. I have an almost 2 year old. I could barely move... naseous , dizzy, achy... you name it...I felt it. I was also only 10 weeks post op when I conceived..... not the smartest thing.. Now at 27 weeks.. .. I am back one the couch.. due to high risk issues... NOT WLS related.. just my personal pg history. The good news is.... that eventually you will feel the baby kick and move inside you. It makes all the icky bad stuff seem not quite so bad. Of course the end result is a baby.. Some women don't glow during pg and have horrible times while pg... like myself... and yet.. we do it again PG is a temporary thing... and believe me.. when you hold your son or daughter for the first time... the preceding 9 months ( 7 in my case) seem like just a drop in the bucket of time. I really hope you feel better soon... the beginning is always hard for me.. and I know it ain't fun! *************************************************** K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Hi All, I'm staying home sick today and feeling horrible, so I turn to my online support group. I've talked to the doctor and they aren't real worried. I'm not *real* worried, but I just can't take it anymore. I've been crying most the morning off and on and that's why my mom finally forced me to call in sick to work and then call the doctor. Here's what's going on - Ok, first to remind everyone - I'm 8 weeks pregnant with first ever pregnancy. At my last (1st official) OB appt. a couple of weeks ago she said that I might have a UTI (because of symptoms I was having) so they did the cultures and such and put me on antibiotics. Anyways, things have been up and down since then down there and it's hard for me to explain how it feels or what's going on because I'm never quite sure how to explain it so they never know for sure if it's UTI or Yeast Infection or something else. Anyways, they finally called yesterday (lab is extra slow) and said that I have Strep B virus and some Yeast. I had already done the Ampicillian, so that was all I could do for the virus, but as far as the Yeast goes she said to use some Monistat creme until I was done with my Progesterone suppositories and then I could do the full 7 day course of Monistat to get rid of it completely. Ok, I was quite annoyed but understood considering I'm only 8 weeks pregnant and I need to do the Progesterone for another 4 weeks. But here is where I get to today - I have quite a bit of lower back pain and then all sorts of other aches and pains. Last night I even had a really sharp quick pain in my back towards the side that actually made my whole body jerk up in scared the crap out of my husband as we were trying to fall asleep at the time. So anyways, since I've already done the meds and I don't have tenderness where my kidneys are, the doctor just gave me a bunch of stuff I can do for it at this time (ie. try to get bowels back to normal as I've been constipated off and on) and said to call back if I have fever and/or symptoms get worse. ACK! I'm just going crazy right about now. Sitting here thinking - I'm only 8 weeks along. How the HECK am I gonna go through 32 more weeks of this?!?!?!?!?!? Ok, trying not to get myself worked up about it as my mom keeps telling me not to do.... Here is what my doctor told me take - Colace, Milk of Magnesia, Tylenol for the pain, and to use a heating pad and massager on my back. Oh, another thing is that they say I have a cyst on my right ovary. I can't remember what the name for it was that she used, but she said this is normal during pregnancy and something about it is what is there until the placenta grows... however, it will give me pains in my right side, however in the front not the back. So I got that going on as well. BLEAH! I'm ready to throw the towel in the air and yell " mercy " !

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Hi Robin - We are the same amount pregnant and this is my first ever too. I think because it is our first ever our bodies are just really freaky and do not know exactly what is happening. I am sorry you are having such a rough time with everything. I am sure in a few weeks you will look back on this time as a bad run and the rest will be smooth sailing. You so will not have 32 more weeks of this, it is temporary for the greater goal...your beautiful baby. Just try and focus on the end result and this will be gone before you know it.
