RandaPanda, updated!!

 

[Babybum35]

Congrats randa. That's awesome.
W8ing I'm sorry you have that extra worry. The good news is its not heavy or painful and you've seen baby and heartbeat so again chances are it's something random and not harmful.
Afm i am also 7 weeks today. I literally feel normal. Some symptoms but not super crazy. Definately looking forward to my Tuesday appointment. It's like it's always something that makes you wonder.
If possible id like an unbiased opinion on if I should say something or not. My parents are friends with a doctor on staff at my obgyn. During my 20 week appointment i was informed of an abnormality in my scan. At some point the doctor did some research and called my parents with the results. I was not living at their house nor did I sign a release. I listed them as emergency contacts only. Now I will be treated by the same clinic and I don't want a repeat of that issue. What do I do????

 

[gigglebox]

Randa any pics of the scan? Glad it went so well!

Baby, can you just talk to the dr and tell him that you are still upset he released info to your folks? And say you'd love to continue care with him this pregnancy but don't want a repeat of that scenario

 

[Kiwiberry]

Babybum35, tbh I would go to a different OBGYN if it's possible.

 

[Babybum35]

I was thinking the same thing, but I would have to switch insurance. Also I don't want to give up the hospital. The staff was amazing and if I switched obs id also have to switch hospitals. I just am not sure if I should make it a thing cause it was 3 years ago.....

 

[Kiwiberry]

Babybum35, 3 years is a bit of time that passed, any chance you can see another OB in that office? I know the one I used to go to had like 10 different Drs. I know how much of a pain insurance can be too, so maybe it's not a good idea to switch.

 

[Emsabub]

Ahh randa that’s exciting!

Babybum, if I’m honest my opinion would be I wouldn’t mind seeing the same doctor but id make it VERY clear on how inappropriate his actions were before! Did you ever put a complaint in against them?

Hi Gigglebox! I love seeing your little fox when you post, did you draw it?!

Kiwwwiiiii.. 😁 I don’t want to miss anyone out ahaha!

 

[gigglebox]

Aww thanks! Yes it's actually done in acrylic paint, it's about 16"x20".

Baby I agree with Ems. Especially if you really like the hospital. Hobestly anyone can examine my hoo ha during that 9 months but the birthing experience really should be at a place I feel completely comfortable and confident in.

 

[Ersurgeongirl]

Would you go to the ER for this? I’ve been up coughing all night... at first, yesterday, it felt like a sinus infection with a little cough. Now it’s progressed into a sinus infection and possibly bronchitis? My lungs and throat feel raw from all the coughing. It’s a spasmy cough that sometimes brings up mucous and always makes me gag. I’ve also had some cramps too but no bleeding. Doesn’t help I’m also a type 1 diabetic and there’s really nothing OTC to take.

Ugh, debating on if it’s an Urgent care visit or ER visit. Especially when the urgent care docs don’t seem to know shit.

 

[Kiwiberry]

Ersurgeongirl, I would definitely go to one of them. It's important for you and the baby to get that infection under control. I really hope you get better soon hun .

 

[Kiwiberry]

I had anoother seizure . At the ER right now, hoping the baby is ok . I even pushed one of my teeth forward from the seizure. Hoping everything is ok and to get some pain relief.

 

[W8tingforbaby]

Yikes kiwi hope all is ok and ur able to go home soon

 

[Emsabub]

Ah giggle that’s lovely !!

Kiwi hoping everything’s okay, let us know when you’re able ❤️

 

[crusherwife44]

Been brown spotting since Tuesday. Last night started bleeding and passing clots and went to the er. Ultrasound looked like a not pregnant uterus but hcg was 4300. Im going back tomorrow to check numbers but my dates weren't wrong. Im pretty sure i miscarried

 

[Babybum35]

On crusher i am so sorry. That's not a fun place to be....
Kiwi yikes i hope you and baby are okay. Do they know what caused it??? That's scary
Eur i would go to the er for sure. If it is some virus you need to get it treated.

What a rough day for everyone. I'm sorry there's so many medical issues happening right now and I have my fingers crossed for some positive updates soon. Good luck

 

[Kiwiberry]

crusherwife44, oh my God I really hope you are okay hun, and by some miracle that you're still pregnant. That's so sad I'm so sorry that you're going through this .

AFM: I went to the emergency room, they were able to do an EEG and a CT scan. they said I have full-blown epilepsy. they also said it's probably induced by Stress and Anxiety. I damaged my teeth pretty bad they were moved out of place from the seizure and I probably swallowed a lot of my blood. They ended up giving me medication and some Tylenol 3 for the pain, along with some antibiotics which are good because it will help with a UTI. The meds are called something like Kepla, they said it's safe during pregnancy, I have to take it twice a day.

 

[countryblonde]

What a day for everyone
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Eur i suggest definitely getting checked out. Maybe not er but something sooner rather than later...dont want to fight an infection longer than you have to.

Crusher ❤ im so sorry. Please keep us posted on how things go tomorrow

Kiwi- so scary! My bestie was just diagnosed with epilepsy this year. I know i can be very scary, but if you manage it well with meds and stuff you can live 100% normally. ❤i hope you heal and feel better quickly

I was coming here to whine about the fact that i notice today that my pelvic bone is clicking when i walk already, but that seems like a pretty minor thing right now

Feel better ladies! Thinking of you all❤❤❤❤

 

[gigglebox]

Omg y'all, my heart is so sad! Crusher I am so extremely sorry for your loss. I hope your heart is able to heal.

Ers, i echo that seeking medical intervention is a good idea. Can you start out at urgent care and go to ER only if necessary?

Ahh kiwi so sorry about the diagnosis! I know it's not the same but my dog of 13 years was epileptic. He was extremely responsive to meds. There is a link to animals and humans, in fact my dog was on meds usually prescribed to people he was 3 when he was diagnosed , had about 3 seizures in a couple months time. After meds he had maybe 4-5 for the rest of his whole life (which was nearly 14 years).

Hope everyone else is well.
I am growing increasingly neevous for my scan at the end of this month. I've been having cramping recently but not sure if it's bad enough to warrant worry also having lower back pain but i strained it lifting my toddler, but it is reminiscent of back labor so it's worrying me even though logically i know it's unrelated!

Ahhh i hate the wait until first scan!

 

[mwel8819]

OMG! So much has happened since I've been gone for a few days. I'm so sorry for the ladies going through tough times.

Randa-That's great news!

w8ting- Congrats on 7 weeks.

Giggle- I too am super worried about that first doctor's appointment on Monday. I'm not sure they will do an ultrasound or not or if it will just be bloods and such. I have been cramping too and in my back. I really think it's a normal pregnancy thing though. I also have LOTS of yellow discharge. I've been wearing a panty liner for weeks. TONS of nausea. I don't remember it being this bad the first time around. I'm only not sick when I'm eating. lol! Have you already had your first appt and this is your first ultrasound?

 

[gigglebox]

Nope. Brand new ob/gyn and they do the first visit at 9-10 weeks. Sorry about your nausea I fortunately do not have it this time. My biggest symptom is an insane amount of hair loss. It is really absurd and I hope it stops soon. When I've read other people's accounts of first tri hair loss they say it stops around 12 weeks. I'm not sure I'll have any hair left by then! And the hair that grew back after I lost it postpartum with ds2 is finally getting to a respectable length! And now i'm losing it all again oh well.
