Diagnosed with Bella’s Palsy @35 weeks pregnant

Karmelita

Last week on Monday i started with a cold nothing major just a running nose. I noticed my eye twitching and had headaches a couple days. Also had to taste buds. I was at a prenatal class with my husband Saturday I started feeling my lips and nose area more numb. I called the advise nurse line and they directed me to the ER. Since we were at Kaiser already they just took me by wheelchair they didn’t even let me walk which I thought was scary. They took me in pretty quick asked me to do some procedures and asked me questions as to what I was feeling. My blood pressure was high which it has never been at any of my prenatal appts. After a short time I was diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy. It’s so scary that one second you are fine and the next anything could happen. I was assured the baby is ok and the medication won’t affect him. I have faith in god that this will go away soon I hope. I was told it could take weeks or months 😟. Today I got up and got ready as best as I could and went to work I don’t want to hide since I’m going to have this for a while. Everyone at work we’re so nice. I just have a couple more

weeks before my maternity leave.

Does anyone have any advise or has experienced this?
