Aynone else feel like a baby cooker!?
I'm aware this probably sounds incredibly selfish but I'm abit pissed off! I've got a urine infection and have spent the last 4 days being bounced back and forth between my gp and a&e with no-body able to make a decision about what to do with me,,,
My gp has been telling me I've pulled a muscle, Friday at A&E I was told there wasnt any antibiotics safe for use in pregnancy. We have gone back today because I've been feeling sick, in the night I had a temperature and not to mention the pain! And surprise surprise, I do have an infection. The A&E doctor was told by his senior that Amoxacillin was best but as I'm allergic to Penicillin (same group of drug) I had to be transferred upto the ante-natal ward for monitoring whilst I was given it. I was seen up there by a lovely midwife who confirmed that the baby was fine ) Then another doctor came in to tell me there was a different type of antibiotic she would prefer to give me and this meant I could go home. She took vaginal swabs to make sure nothing else was going on and let me come home with an appointment to see my consultant in a week.
Do you know what my in-laws have said?! 'well as long as the baby is ok, thats all that matters' obviously yes the baby is the first priority, but no sympathy for me, no concern that I'm ok.... I'm tired, I've spent the last 4 nights sitting on the loo weeing every 5 minutes, baby isn't lying in the best position which doesn't help with the pain I'm having, I'm sore, I have horrible backache, I'm sore underneath after having the swabs taken (like having a smear) and not one ounce of fecking sympathy for their DIL!!! :x
Sorry for the rant, feeling really sorry myself and rather cross with them!

Hope you feel better soon hun, being ill when you are pregnant and not allowed to take anything is the pits.

What has really riled me though was not them not being sympathetic, just the lack of thought of how I might be feeling. Doesn't even seem to have occured to them I might have been really scared for my babies welfare, never mind them!
In laws hey!? :roll:

I know how you feel about the doc's, the felst hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing and all you want is some consistancy.
In-laws were invented to be annoying... that's all I can say on that matter!
Hope you feel well soon...x

OMG Carly My hubby tries this one on me if I don't finish something on my plate, only I give him the stare (and usually the V's!) and I know it's only in jest.... He claims hes practising Can't believe your FIL really did that though!!!
I hope it clears up soon and that you're feeling better.
I think once you become pregnant people seem to suddenly forget that you are actually a person yourself-you become public property and are up for anyone to touch or openly discuss right in front of your face no matter how rude they're being (either about your size, choice of certains things-baby name, whether your finding out sex or not ect. or what you choose to do)
I mean yes-its great that babies ok, but your right-thats not the only thing that matters. I fell over a few months ago-ended up falling on my knees, it really hurt but as soon as I told oh belly was fine he relaxed completely and wasnt fussed that I had actually fell and was in pain. Hope your feeling better now anyway xxxxx

It's annoying isn't it Carly - you get made to feel like you're depriving the baby on purpose - if i could eat the perfect veggie filled diet i would, but it makes me feel sick so gimme my ice cream dammit!!!! xxx
