Feeling like crap

[ettegirb21]

It's been one crazy pregnancy....progesterone injections, rupture of a membrane, kidney stones, and going on 9 weeks of bedrest. I'm now 28.5 weeks pregnant and having new symptoms....

Heavy feeling in chest under breasts and upper back
Headache
Issues swallowing (feels like something is in the right side of my throat)

I have been in and out of the hospital every week or two, along with weekly appointments with my Peri. or OB. I don't know what the heck is going on now. I can't get comfortable and feel like crap. I have become a complete hypochondriac from reading online over the past 9 weeks. I just want to cry. I feel like I haven't been able to enjoy this pregnancy, as it's been filled with complications. Now, I'm feeling whatever the heck these syptoms are...I saw my Peri. yesterday and things looked fine. I just don't know what to do anymore. I feel like I am always going into the hospital, and thank God recently things have been fine- just my craziness thinking I have cancer or some crazy diagnosis.


Anyways, sorry about the rant. Does anyone else feel any of these things?

hun,

you poor thing Im feeling for you and know just how you feel now let me share with you.

I have to inject daily blood thinners that hurt like hell also Im on daily aspirin and progesterone .
I have an IC so have it measured weekly and now they think I have Obstetric Cholestasis
due to the thinners but I need them to keep baby alive.
The hospital see me anything from once to four times a week im fed up!! I really ahve had enough to be honest.
I feel so ill all the time and now my liver is going from worse to worse my bloods are all over the place!!. I have a high WBC AND bile in my blood.

Sending you hugs and if you want to chat or rant anytime PM ME xx

I'm sorry that you are having to go to the hospital so often. It's so tiring, frustrating, and expensive (costs me $200 each trip), which I just have them bill me for. I've used all my vacation and sick time at work for bed rest & will use up my short term disability in about 6 weeks. I have no idea how we are gonna handle finances, but that's a worry for the future. I can only handle one day at a time, since each one seems to be filled with a new challenge, symptom, or scare.

How far along are you? I feel like the next 11.5 weeks are going to drag by- as most of the pregnancy has.
