I've seen a consultant...
This morning I had an appt with a consultant about some kidney pain I have been experiencing. She was horrified about what I had been prescribed for the pain and said it could have affected the levels of amniotic fluid and also some structures within the heart/lungs.
She said these affects are usually corrected once you stop taking the medication so she has booked me in for a scan in 2 weeks to give my little boy the once over.
I also have to have a seperate scan on my kidneys and should get an appt in the post.
Both her and the midwife we saw were lovely but I feel so upset that the doctor at my local surgery gave me something that could have hurt my baby.
I broke down in tears and she did try to reassure me that as long as I am feeling regular movement everything will be more than likely ok.
On a positive note at least I will get to see my little boy again before he arrives, I just hope the next 2 weeks go quickly.

I can't wait for my scan and am just keeping everything crossed the tablets didn't do any damage. I'm seriously considering changing surgeries though! x
I'm sure all will be fine but i will keep my fingers crossed for you for the scan, its lovely that you'll get to see your wee chap again! xxxxx
I had a friend with a simualr problem with some of the medication she was on. She was told after giving birth that the medication could have caused some of the problems he baby had after birth. Thankfully, both mother and baby are fine.
It is hard to know what to do for the best, you could google everything you get given and will get many mixed messages from that and no 2 doctors have the same opinions on anything!
Im sure you and ur baby boy will be just fine and is a relief that you have found out now rather than later.

Just remember what your midwife said that the fact you can feel him moving is a good sign. Rest up as much as possible and just look forward to seeing him again VERY soon!!
Stay positive sweetie xxxxxx
