court

My son’s father did not show up to court. I have another court date. If he does not show up this next time, my case is dismissed which means I won’t be able to file again for a few months. I won’t have any money 🙁

Upper UTI, yeah thats cool too…

So after the past two days of thinking that pressure was from my baby dropping, it turns out I have an upper urinary tract infection. THAT was causing all the bladder pressure.

I went to the ER last night because I thought the terrible pains in my side were appendicitis… Hey, according to WebMD, I had every single symptom. So after 26 hours of the worst pain ever, they tell me it’s a UTI. And I guess I’ve had one before. Yeah, then this morning they called me and said they messed up my urine culture & had to send it out again!!

I have micro benign recurrent hematuria (the lining of my kidneys is like tissue paper, micro amount of blood is in my pee), so many medications, including Tylenol, make them really sore after I take them.

I have a prescription for Bactrim to take twice a day for 7 days; woo hoo. I go to the doctor tomorrow for a regular appointment & follow up from last night. I’ve had the WORST migraine I have to tell my midwife about, because that can be a serious side effect.

OH, this isn’t even the bad news! Monday night, at like 2 a.m., I called the answering service about my pains, I was almost crying they were SO bad. I got put through to the on-call doctor, she returned my call and said, “All that pain is normal. Drink water and rest.” Seriously doctor? I do EVERYTHING I can before I call you dumbasses. I WAS chugging water, I was ‘taking it easy’.  So, thank you doctor for NOT seeing me, even to check me out AT ALL that night & making me suffer through 24 hours of MORE pain. THAT could have been prevented by a quick pee test. They weren’t, I knew in my head they weren’t.

He has dropped!!

Baby boy has been locked & loaded in my pelvis. Or so I think.

About three hours ago (after going pee) I got INCREDIBLE pressure on my bladder like you can’t imagine & I have had the urge to pee like craaazy since.

I asked one of my friends who had a baby recently what it felt like and she said the exact same thing. I go to the doctor on Wednesday so I’ll ask then. I also think it could be a UTI, but I’m not sure. It doesn’t burn or sting when I pee, it’s just uncomfortable. Oh well, all things to ask on Wednesday.

I’m happy he’s so low though, I can breathe so much better and he’s let up off my stomach a little so I can eat a bit more.

I’ve also developed numbness in my left wrist.. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome maybe? Hey, I heard its common.

Other than that, everything’s great(:

Extremely Confused!! =(

Hello everyone. I’m 19 (20 in 5 months), engaged, and currently TTC with my fiancé. Well, I don’t know if I’m pregnant, but one of my friends who has twins said she thinks I am.

Here are the symptoms that she claims she experienced with her twins:

I am always nauseous and feeling like I have to vomit

I feel lazy

My weight has gone down

I barely have eaten in weeks because Im not hungry

When I do eat, its not much because I cant stomach much

I have a sore little pimple on my nipple THAT HURTS LIKE A ***** (sorry for tmi)

However, I have my period too even though it is slightly lighter. I took a pregnancy test the day my period was supposed to come down and it came out negative. Due to the fact I inserted a tampon, I drew it down. She claims she had all the same symptoms as myself even with her period. The only way she found out she was pregnant was by taking a blood test because her pee test kept resulting in negatives. I would like to know other people’s opinion.

Gestational Diabetes!!?

Hi, I found out yesterday that I have Gestational Diabetes. I’m 17 and terrified that something can go wrong with the baby. My doctor said he wants me to stay away from sweets and keep an eye on my blood sugar levels. I have 2 questions about what is going on, as long as I keep my sugars under control can I deliver naturally and will my baby be healthy?

I will be 30 weeks on Friday, November 18th…

Please Help…

Welcome Dallas. (:

My weekly appointment was on November 8th. My blood pressure was high so he had me come back in the early morning on the 9th. My blood pressure was even higher than the day before so he sent me straight to the hospital. I was induced around 12, and my water was broken around 12:30 pm. My baby was out of my tummy at 4:15 pm. I managed to do it all on just gas. I did have about 4 stitches, 2 in different places and I am a little sore, also my blood count is down so I am on iron. Other than that I am doing pretty good. (:

He was born at 38 weeks and 4 days. They said if my blood pressure was any higher, I could have started to have seizures.

He was born November 9th, 2011 at 4:15pm, weighing 7lbs 10oz and 19.3 inches long.

Mommy and daddy are extremely happy to be able to have our little man in our arms. (: <3
