well I am home from work today (actually got sent home yesterday by the doctor).

It is a bit :o . I woke up yesterday with a bit of a pain low in my belly, but didn't really think anything of it. As I sat at my desk my belly felt 'funny', but nothing too bad. I stood up to go to the toilet and it HURT. It felt like I had a urinary tract infection or something - when you have been weeing a lot and it burns (TMI I know). But I hadn't been weeing a lot, and when I went to the toilet it was normal. All the way back to my desk it still hurt. I sat at my desk and e-mailed my sister who yelled via e-mail to go to the doctor....

I went to the doctor downstairs (10am) and asked when I could get in, and the receptionist said 1.15. I asked if there was anything earlier and she said no. I said I would take it, but she looked at me and said - Oh dear, you need to see someone sooner don't you. I just burst into tears. Not nice little ones either, my face spasmed and I was sooo embarassed. She told me to sit down and someone would see me. I felt like such a sooky lala.

When the doctor saw me I told her that I was 18 weeks pregnant and my bladder was hurting. She did a wee test but all that showed was some sugar. when she felt my bladder it is my uterus that hurts, not my bladder. (I can't believe I don't know the difference). She told me to go home and rest, see my OB if the pain gets worse or if there is any blood.

I am so worried. At every check up I have been waiting for them to tell me that there is no heartbeat. I have had a total inability to feel positive about the outcome and I think it all stems from a late m/c before Sam.

It hurts less today now that I have been lying around. It hasn't hurt while I lay down, feels funny when I sit and hurts when I walk. My sister wants me to give up work now, but I can't. It is way too early and I can't just lie around for the next 4-5 months.


AARRRRGGGHHH - sook over. thanks if you got this far.

Oh Jane you poor thing :hugs:.
I am sure everything will be fine, if the doc was concerned she would have sent you straight in for an u/s. Why dont you make an appointment to see your Ob anyway, even if the pain doesnt get any worse. Just for peace of mind.
In the mean time, rest up and try to think more positive.
Here is another :hugs: just coz I think you need it!
Hope you feel better soon.

((((HUGS)))) Jane, sorry to hear your feeling down

I get a pain like that every now and then, especially if i've been sitting at the comp for a long time, with some rest it goes away

I hope its nothing :fingerscrossed: , i've never got it checked out

just keep your feet up as much as possible and rest

Oh Jane that sucks!!! I know how you feel about having to quit work - I had to cos of my back, made me feel like the biggest slacker cos I was only doing two nights a week! And I have been getting extra stir crazy now.

BUT - if your Doc agrees with your sister, and you can afford it, it may be the best option. You don't want to risk anything esp if you have had a late m/c before.

Just speak to your ob or GP and see what they think. It may go away, may just be your uterus stretching, maybe lie down and get your hubby to give your belly a gentle massage with some baby massage oil. May be what it needs.

Oh Jane, you poor thing - it sounds awful. Hope you are feeling better, lots of hugs to you :hugs:

If it makes you feel better I've been at home for two days this week with severe pains too. It sucks and there is no pain relief but 8 Panadol in 24 hours! :gloomy: Hence all my posts on Bub Hub!!

Definitely go and see your ob. I went yesterday and he checked everything out, couldn't do that much but it's reassuring. Apparently bub's head is sitting on my uterus (with her bum up in the air) - she'll be unco like me.:laughing:

Hope everything works out, cheer up and have a good laugh or a tim tam or something!
