Worried and scared.
and pissed off! A few weeks ago i started having pain in my tummy. SO i went to my PCP as i didn’t think it had anything to do with the baby. The pain was higher than where my uterus was at the time. My doctor had me go get a u/s. She called me the next day and said i needed to see a specialist an urologist. So I called the urologist she suggested and they couldn’t see me till next thursday. Ok im not the doctor i figured if it was major she would have let them know. The urologist tell me i need to bring my u/s report in with me so i go to my PCP and picked it up today. Well i opened it up to see what it said because all my doctor told me was that i had stones and a obstruction. Well the report said a WHOLE lot more than that! It said I have Hydronephrosis in my right kidney. Urine in my bladder backs up into my kidney. It can cause kidney failure. Everything I have read states very very clearly it is dangerous for pregnant woman and special measures need to be taken in the care of someone pregnant with this. My spleen is also enlarged and I have sludge/debris in my gallbladder. Seriously? Anything else? Well I call my Mil and talk to her and she says she is going to look up what that stuff means. SHE CALLS ME BACK LIKE 5 MINUTES LATER AND IS LIKE CALL YOUR UROLIGIST now or call another one. You need to be seen NOW. I called a different urologist and told them what the report says and they were like our doctor is at the hospital right now but can you be in first thing tomorrow? Dh just left for Paris so I call my MIL and she is flying in this afternoon. I pick her up at 6:30. What would I do without her? Seriously. I mean if I ha dto take him to daycare I could but its $12 an hour and we don’t know what the doctor will say. I may need surgery who knows. I may need to be put on bed rest. Im very scared. Not for me but for the baby. When my pain is very bad like it was yesterday I have a lot of cramping. Yesterday I was pretty much bed ridden and even broke down and took a Tylenol 3 my doc prescribed me. I never take meds like that even when not pregnant. It’s the first one I have taken since I got the prescription and I hope I don’t need to take it ever again. It helped a lot but I felt so drugged. I wont take it if Im home alone with Ian. Luckily James was home last night. I really don’t want surgery and if its at all possible I want to put it off for at least 5 weeks. I will be 25 weeks then. If I can put it off longer great. But I cant risk anything happening to Anita. Im so upset because I was looking forward to cherishing these next few months with Ian. He only has 4 more months of being my baby and now its getting messed up. We were suppose to go to a butterfly release tonight but now cant because we are going to the airport. I never know when I will be in pain so its hard to make plans. When I am in pain I cant do anything with him. I literally lay on the couch and watch him play. I HATE THAT. IM NOT THAT MOM. We go play and go do things. I don’t sit around watching TV all day but lately I have been doing it a lot and cant stand it. But I cant do anything else when im in tears from pain. Well I will try to update more after my doctors appointment tomorrow.
