Appendicitis in pregnancy
This post is regarding my personal experience with Appendicitis at 19 weeks pregnant.
Symptoms
Sickness -4 times in one day
abdominal pain belly button area and right side and hurt everywhere
pain similar to trapped gas is how it started
began on the same day I had flu infection
in hospital for 3 days
signed of work for 4 weeks with 2 weeks phase return
suffered afterwards with bladder infection
numbness in left upper thigh
appendix did not burst
baby was fine
advice
go straight to A&E and tell them it may be appendicitis!
Please ask me if you have any questions or need advice or want to talk about this if similar experience or your worried of if you have been through same experience. It was very scary especially when pregnant and after my operation I had limited areas I could even read about similar stories online.
