Ziggie so sorry about your scare, I was so nervous reading your post, so glad everything ended up ok.
Vicky, I'm sorry you're feeling down, everything will be fine this time, you'll see
Today I'm having this weird pain. It's not sharp, so it's probably not RLP. It's just on my left side, and it has been there for several hours now. At least since 10am. It's almost like a recurrent dull stretchy pain really near my pubic area (on my left side, so it's near my hip as well). It doesn't hurt that much, it's more uncomfortable than painful. It doesn't change if I change position or if I cough. It comes and goes constantly, every 3 minutes or so. I do have scoliosis, and it usually affects my left side, so I'm not sure it's related to that. I don't know if I should call the midwife, mainly because she's going to tell me to take paracetamol, but I'm pretty sure paracetamol won't do anything because it's not the kind of pain that paracetamol can heal (because it's not really a pain). What should I do?
Also, I finally found out I'm experiencing pregnancy rhinitis, that's why it's so hard for me to breathe and I sneeze all the time, and I cry from one eye all the time lol so I went to my gp and told her that every once in a while I use sinex nasal spray, and I took it with me for her to see. At the time I showed her (last week) I had only used it 3 times for the last 2 months and a half. She told me that it was ok, the only reason they say to talk to your gp is because it wasn't tested on pregnant women, at least not enough to make a solid study. During the last few days my noose got completely blocked (as in completely! like, I would drink water and almost drown while drinking. Every time I swallow saliva, I block my ears too, that's how blocked my noose has been. So I've used it 2 other times (the sinex). Today I went to the chemist and bought a saline spray, vicks vaporrub and the sinex spray (just in case nothing else works). I felt so incredibly judged by the pharmacists! One of them didn't want to sell me the sinex spray, and called the other one to serve me! And the other one told me she couldn't sell me the sinex spray because they can't sell that to pregnant woman (and I was thinking to myself that they only knew I'm pregnant because I told them). She only sold me the spray after I told her that my gp told me it was ok, and the raised her eyebrow and told her colleague with a condescending tone "well...if the gp tells people this is ok, what are we going to do?". I felt really bad and I really don't think she had the right to do that. It's not like I'm buying it to use it non-stop. I bought everything else too. I explained her that. I told her I'm only using sinex spray if nothing works and I can't sleep. It's not like I went out to have a drink. I also have asthma, which makes me really scared of not being able to breathe. I'm just upset with everything.
