Feeling neglected and unwell

Blog Image

Not long to go now but I must admit this is the worst time I'm having, I've been to accident and emergency this week, because of a chest infection, and rash, and then told I may have a blood clot in my leg, given stuff to thin my bloody the nurse should never have even given me whilst pregnant, so as you'd assume I was so annoyed I'd been told it was safe by her, and turns out it could of harmed me and my baby.

My midwife currently has flu, which is a disaster to me, as I've been seeing her regular and now I'm seeing so many different people, who don't seem to reliese I used to have a thin face and now it's puffier, I must sound like a hypochondriac but all these things have been worrying me, and no one seems to want to take any notice.

On the down side to it all I've still got a chest infection due to the weather and the baby squashing my organs, my hands one massive bruise from drips, and my legs are very sore. So in all this wasn't the best start to my week.

I've not really thought of much else this week except for whats going on, and why am I being neglected, I was meant to see a midwife on call Tuesday she never turned up I was admitted into hospital over night, when she could of helped, the nurse gave me the wrong drugs and the doctors and everyone else looked at me stupidly I just have no faith in any medical person any more I am now dreading labour more and more.

Baby dreams, I've realised more and more towards the end my dreams are all about the baby, which is nice, but in a way scary because I keep waking myself up and wondering where the babies gone, I've thought about what she'll look like what everyone will be like towards me and her in public and all I want know is for her in my arms, I'm overdue now, from my LMP date, so it kind of sucks, got till the 22nd to be induced and I'm sure she'll stay in till then I feel like she'll never make an appearance, despite my health  nobody will even get her out now and safely they'd rather me be ill and her stay inside:)

  • Yer that bit about your midwife is sooo true! I LOVE my midwife, and one ov my appointments she was off ill, so I had to see someone else, complications etc.. And the midwife I had instead was a right knob I refuse to be seen by her again.. Hope it all worked out in the end.

  • I was anaemic, had swelling on my feet and ankles, high blood pressure and they were concerned about rhesus disease in the baby as well as I had antibodies in my blood but they wouldn't induce me which I thought was strange! They made me leave work a week earlier than planned which did help the blood pressure and then had a scare that baby was breach so had a scan. Thankfully baby was the right way!! That night I twisted my ankle really badly and it ballooned!! They still wouldn't induce me then, I was in agony and on crutches!! Turned out at my 6 week check that I had actually fractured the bone in my ankle!! Still get niggling pains now in it but because it had been 9 weeks by the time they realised what it was the fracture had healed so nothing they could do about it. In the end I had a membrane sweep on 14th april but was already having mild contractions, my waters broke after midnight and my son was born on 15th april at 7am!! I know how it feels to be overdue lol! was 10day over with my eldest as well!! Im guessing baby is here by now so CONGRATULATIONS!! Can't wait to see pics xxxx

  • Oh no hun! I really feel for you, must be awful to be overdue AND dealing with all of this.. I hope she decides to make an appearance soon and you are feeling better quickly! I also had one doctor throughout my pregnancy and then delivered while she was on vacation - for my labour I had strange doctors I've never met before who were also male, I would have really preferred my own doctor... do you have pictures of yourself before showing how your face normally is to compare to the swelling you're having right now to show your midwives? Good luck to you!!
