Feeling defeated

Bianca

I have been feeling tremendously off for the last few days of this pregnancy. Baby has been moving less than normal (I know they’re larger, but this isn’t my first rodeo), I have been feeling damp constantly, and last night I thought I was in labor with horribly intense, and painful contractions coming every 1-2 minutes but had no progrsssion the two hours I’d been there.

My problem is my first son had lower fluid after I had the same feelings for a day or two which made my doctor want to induce him (luckily my water finished breaking right when admitted). We have moved since and I just feel like these doctors are constantly not taking me seriously. They don’t check if it’s amniotic fluid, they have not checked the fluid around him just to be safe. It astonishes me because I’ve moved from an area of medical care being not considered great to being in an area known for their care- yet I don’t feel like they’re doing the best. I feel constantly brushed off and not taken seriously and itsreally making my anxiety go up.

I’ve barely felt my son since coming home from my false alarm. I’m in a ton of pain.

I also have Multiple Sclerosis that hasn’t calmed throughout my pregnancy and I worry so much the amount of pain I’ve been in plus the stress is going to make me flare up horribly after birth- which I cannot afford because I also have a 20 month old at home who doesn’t care if mommy is in pain. Just feeling tremendously tired of feeling off with my own body and being made to feel like I can’t trust my own instincts. This isn’t my first pregnancy don’t treat me like it is. I hate when doctors make first time moms feel crazy but it’s driving me even more nuts now that this is my second.

Sorry for the rant just don’t know what to do.
