TTC and Beyond!

[wavescrash]

Yeah my ureters hurt so bad with my most recent one. I forget what antibiotic I was on but it was for 7 days and worked really well.

 

[TTCaWee1]

Maybe it was the same. He said macrobid is first line for preggos. It's twice a day x 7 days. I already drink a bunch of water so I guess I will get some cranberry juice tomorrow.

 

[wavescrash]

I'm allergic to Keflex so I don't know if that means I can't have certain other antibiotics. I've had Macrobid in the past but I don't think that's what I had this last time. It may have been, I don't remember lol.

Morning ladies! I hit 7 weeks yesterday and I had a pretty good weekend. Not going to lie, I'm a little nervous about my appointment tomorrow. I haven't been feeling too bad, and i'm nervous. Less than 24 hours at this point. I just hope everything is okay.

Oh no Nikki! I'm sorry you are so uncomfortable. How exactly did your dog dislocate your finger? What did the ER docs say you could take?

The dogs leash got stuck wrapped around my finger and he saw my husband and went running to him. I wont explain what my finger looked like because its hard to stomach, by DH and my mom said it was horrible looking at my xrays (I cant look at them, cant stomach it). However, after they looked at them, DH and mom seemed to feel bad for me and tried to help me in every why possible... so must have been bad. Doc xrayed me and put on a heavy lead outfit on me to cover baby. (ill skip what he did next). He gave my hydrocodin mixed with 500mg Tylenol (my ob said i can take it sparingly only up to 4000mg Tylenol a day, and expect baby to sleep alot if i take it)... I haven't taken it because I'm scared for baby and getting into a vomit series. However, I haven't been able to sleep in 2 days because of the pain... so I might take one tonight if its still bad.

My friend works for a orthopedics office and said one of her docs are amazing with hands. And I know I need a follow up. But she said hes very direct...which right now im very sensitive... so im debating to go to him. Like i think ill punch someone if they make me move it, and she said he most likely will make me bend it.

Ouch Nikki! Sounds terrible

Crippling sciatica this morning.. I know Waves said she has the same prob- it's like the sharpest shooting pain that goes from your lower back/either buttcheek lol and down your leg. Not sure if it sounds like you girls' UTI pain? I was really surprised to wake up to it, as it's so early. Usually caused by babe making pressure on nerves down low, had it AWFUL with Jaxon, could barely walk some days. Does this sound similar to your pain or should I worry about UTI? Also never had one and JW if I should be concerned for other reasons.

Also WAVES- In addition to the sciatica, I have something grinding it feels like in my lower back/tailbone area? I think I need to see a chiropractor (can they crack/reposition your back while preggo?) to get it straightened out but do you ever have similar pain? I know your body releases a lot of Relaxin and other hormones to loosen up the hips and whatnot down there to make room for baby but this is such a painful backache and I swear down by my tailbone something is clanking together when I walk. Hope it doesn't last long LOL just wanted to see if you've experienced anything similar since my stupid midwife has been chalking up all my pains to normal pregnancy changes. Errrgh.

Julie - hopefully you'll start to feel better soon as you get further along. Have you tried ginger? How much zofran did they give you? 4mg or 8mg?

I've been taking ginger for a while, but it only helps for an hour or so. The zofran is 8mg and I feel like it only helps for maybe a few hours as well. In a way it's better, but then yesterday I was sick and I don't think it was from pregnancy. It just seems like there is always something and it's exhausting! lol I just keep hoping I'm going to enjoy pregnancy at some point and it worries me...

Britt-Try not to worry! I know it's hard...

Nikki-Oh my gosh that sounds horrible! I'm so sorry you are having to deal with that, especially while pregnant! I totally understand your reservations with taking the meds, but I definitely think it might be worth it so you can get some sleep. I hope it starts to feel better soon...

Morgan-I highly recommend going to the chiropractor. Mine adjusts my next, upper back, and lower back. The middle to lower portions she has a clicky thing so she isn't pushing on the babies. She also does therapies that feel great. I have pain in my lower back that makes me limp sometimes from my sacrum. It's definitely worth checking out. I would do it now before you get bigger and it gets worse!

Rachel and Kara-When are your appointments to find out genders?

 

[morganwhite7]

Will definitely make an appt then.. I just wasn't sure if they'd refuse since I'm pregnant but sounds like they have great ways around that!! Also you asked I think about tightening at night, I have been having that a bunch lately. Definitely an unmistakable bump every morning, but after dinner and getting home at night it feels extra tight and pronounced and goes back to being mushy in the morning LOL

 

[wavescrash]

Morgan - I'm not sure. Relaxin causes my SPD but that's my pelvis. I'm not familiar with any back issues due to it but that's likely just because I've never had it myself to have looked into it, you know? It sounds like it could be caused by the same thing. I'd definitely ask your OB and see a chiro if you can. I can't afford it so I'm not going to bother but hopefully it helps you. I've had it recommended to me several times so I'm pretty sure they can work with all sorts of pregnant women.

 

[morganwhite7]

Thanks for the info! Thankfully it's free w/ ours so I'll look into it asap. I just hate (actually love lol) that you girls can give me better insight than my stupid midwife! I love my doc but it's rare I see him.. The midwife is just a beotch to be frank LOL!

14 week bump pic

 

[Cowgirl07]

Julie-That is the most adorable little bump! I am jealous, where is your physic from? I may have to talk with her lol

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Julie- Adorable bump... Can't wait until I have one!!

 

[goldstns]

Thx ladies for your support. I went to my friends doc office. they made me feel vip. it was so nice. They found a small fracture where the ligament pulled bone off. doc was awesome and told me everything i need to know for the next month so i didn't have to waste time/money to come back to see him if i didnt want to. he reduced the bandaging and it feels better like that.

oh and the best part, is my insurance said ANY doc stuff within 72 hours of the accident is FREE!!! so this apt and urgent care on sat is ALL free.

 

[jury3]

Nikki-That's so great to hear! I'm glad he was able to help you and it's all going to be free!

Katrina-lol She lives near Chicago

Britt-I'm sure you'll start to show soon

 

[Cowgirl07]

Chicago. That is only 3 1/2 hours from me! To bad I am afraid to drive that far. Dang me and my nerves.

 

[jury3]

Oh my gosh Katrina, I drive that far all the time to see my mom. She would kill me if I didn't lol What makes you afraid to drive far?

I'm watching this show "Secretly Pregnant"...some of these people wait until they are 5 or 6 months pregnant. I have no idea how they do that! Between showing already and being sick all the time, there's no way I could have kept it a secret even if I wanted too lol There was a girl on there from my hometown, Springfield, MO. She went to the same doc office I used to go to, so that was cool!

 

[clynn11]

Can I get a scan date list?! I know there's a whole bunch coming up this month right?!
