Scared..Need reassurance, so glad most of you can relate :)

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I posted, sorry. I was trying

to do some catching up on all the posts and ran into the article on

the lady who died because of complications from her hernia.

This scares me 1/2 to death beacause I have an umbilical hernia that

3 out of 4 doctors decided I should wait to have fixed unitl after

the baby was born...Now I am second guessing that decision.(I know

it's too late now,I am 22 weeks, but it really scares me.) I can't

lift anything because if I do, I get terrible pain.The doctor's are

aware of this and of course their solution is not to lift anything.

Thank God I have a very helpful husband , 10 year old daughter and 12

year old son...

I thought finding out I was highrisk because of the history of PE

when I was 19 was bad enough. I will be on lovenox until 3 months

after delivery.

I guess I am just really worried and need reassurance that everything

will be okay!!!!!!

I went to the GP Wednesday because I have had an earache forabout a

week and he tells me my ears are clear however, my throat is really

red and my gland are swollen!! (Why can't I have anything normal????)

I have taken amoxicillin 100's of times in the past and no

complications, they had to switch to Ceclor on Saturday because I

have been so sick to my stomach.(Well, I am still sick to my

stomach..)Thank God I haven't been vomiting. I didn't tell them that

during the past week i HAVE LOST 8 POUNDS!!!! I go for a heart study

on the baby Wednesday to the high risk unit and will let them know

then.

Thanks for letting me vent.

Take Care

Dianne,

I am sure you are such a different case than this gal! The smartest

thing to do is be the squeeky wheel and make sure they check you out

from head to toe to make sure the same thing doesn't happen. I am

sure they are aware of the case and will know what to do to assure

that the same thing doesn't happen again! With that said, I

understand why you are freaking out, but remember that is not

healthy for you or the baby!

It totally stinks that you are so resistant to all the meds they are

giving you. It sounds like you are staying on top of it and getting

the care you need. Remember even when you lose weight that your

baby will take everything he or she needs first, so he or she will

be fine. Just remember you are gonna have to be in the best health

you can when the main event comes!

Good luck and I will keep you and your little one in my thoughts and

prayers!
