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.
