A Rant, coz I feel like it!!!
Oh the joys... Just visited my GP again today. The indignities that we suffer, that must only get worse. Firstly I've been semi-constipated, which in of itself isn't a huge issue. Been eating lots of fibre, kiwi fruits and small meals, but combined with diahorrea attacks from panic has lead to a sore, bleeding backend. Lovely. So now I have some ultra proct ointment with a wonderful nozzle to insert up my backend to squeeze this magic stuff into my bum hole!! To be honest, as someone who's had an anal fissure misbehave fairly regularly with chronic D from IBS I was more worried as the internets said ultraproct is BAD in pregnancy. GP was happy with it though, just not the stronger suppositories.
Anyway, enough about my bum.
Bloating and gas is NO FUN. I smell like a straight baked bean eater and look ridiculous with a totally hard, distended belly from bloat.
WHERE IS THE GLOWING MUM TO BE????
I'm getting spots everywhere, yes even on my legs, back, buttocks!! Skin oily and breaking out. I'm exhausted and starving constantly. Eating for 23. I'm FAT. Geez.
Add to that the feinting spells that started up a few days ago. I black out when I move my head and feint if I stand up too suddenly. My already normal low blood pressure has dropped even more on standing. 130/something sitting was fine. 95/something not so good on standing up slowly :/ Apparently the mix of both my meds (side effect= postural hypotension) and pregnancy is making my blood pressure fall rapidly. Fun.
Then my kidneys started hurting again and despite 2 ish litres a day my urine is pretty dark and concentrated. Cue more blood tests for kidney function and a urine test for infection. I've got to try drinking 3 LITRES + from now on anyway. Ye Gods. i was struggling with the 2!!
And I'm still bleeding/spotting and cramping. GP is just crossing everything that this little bean will keep sticking and growing. Had my last HCG bloods drawn today, will know the results tomorrow. I'll be 10 weeks tomorrow (today?, i forget) and apparently as the placenta takes up hormore production from around this stage HCG can become unreliable as an indicator.
Please, please just let me get through this first trimester this time. It all feels SO UNCERTAIN with non-stop bleeding. I hasve another scan on the 18th and I'm convined peanut will have died by then. It's making it hard to sleep without nightmares. I do hate this first tri
As an entertaining aside, my GP reminded me that sex was out of the question at the moment. Even with getting married on friday (yikes!). I lol'ed as NOT A DAMN HOPE IN HELL. I have never felt less like playing beneath the sheets. If this carries on DF will forget how his working bits work!! :p
