I had debilitating morning sickness up until 14 weeks when my OB prescribed me Restavit. It's a sleeping tablet that I take every night (I only take 1/2 to a 1/4) and the antihistamine in it allows me to actually function. No vomiting and I can get out to bed, yay! I've tried not taking it to see if I'm getting better but I spend all day vomiting and not being able to move.
Well, I just found out my MIL has been talking behind my back about how she was sooo worried that the medication I'm taking is hurting the baby & she's concerned it's a sleeping tablet. She even went to her GP and asked them about it! Apparently the GP looked it up and said it was fine (duh) so now 'she feels a little bit better'.
I am furious! I am paying a private obstetrician to monitor MY pregnancy and why would he give me something that could harm my baby? And why, does she think her GP would know more than my Obstetrician who deals with pregnancies every single day? Last of all, it's not any of her damn business and I don't know who she thinks she is questioning me and what I am doing. We struggled to conceive and did IVF, I would never put my baby at harm, like I'm sure any good mother to be wouldn't. I am just beyond furious and it goes to show she can not be trusted. She will question and go behind my back about everything to do with this baby once born. I hate to think who she's talked about this too already. I probably have a group of people who now think I'm taking medication irresponsibly.
How am I supposed to feel like I'm doing what is best for me and my baby when I've got her questioning me behind my back?
