Last Friday I started having pressure and pain near my pubic bone. It hurt to walk, get out of bed, anything. I immediately assumed baby was putting pressure. Then Sunday I started having excruciating pain directly underneath my right rib in the front and back. I got a kidney infection around 10 weeks and it kind of felt like this so I assumed I probably had another one. Started drinking tons of water and made an Appt. I started throwing up and again, assumed kidney infection. Then Monday morning I called my OB, they made an Appt with me for next Wednesday, said to go to L&D if it becomes too unbearable. Then the pain became really unbearable. I couldn’t move, couldn’t do anything. I started shivering, but my body temp was 101F. I was sweating like crazy even though it’s 15F outside, no heater was on in the house and I had a fan 5 feet away from my bed blowing full blast on me because I needed to cool my body down and I felt hot but I couldn’t stop shaking. I decided I would go to the ER the next morning but by midnight I had to go in. I started having a horrible horrible headache. I took Tylenol it wouldn’t get rid of it. I hadn’t slept in days at this point. My OB is over an hour away and our town has a L&D but to say our hospital sucks is an understatement but I was desperate and felt like I was dying. When I got there only 1 nurse was there for the whole floor. The entire department: 1 nurse. She refused to listen to my complaints. I’d be talking to her and she would just walk away mid conversation and ignore me. She couldn’t find my baby’s heartbeat and kept saying he has to be down low by my pubic bone. I explained to her where he was and she wasn’t looking in the right place. She refused to listen and just kept complaining she couldn’t find it. She said at 23 weeks he’s too small for a heartbeat monitor to pick up. Which I know is bullshit because this isn’t my first kid and I also am in the nursing field. I finally took it from her, put it exactly where I said and boom, 162 heartbeat. She then took the monitor off, refused to put a contraction monitor on even though I was having pressure and pain in my abdomen and back and told me to give a urine sample. I did. She said she was running tests, I sat there for 20 minutes she came back and said she ran a drug test and that I had tested + for marijuana. I told her I know. In our state it is legal both medically and recreationally and I showed her on my phone on my patient portal where my dr prescribed it to me because I am a former cancer patient and I lost 50 lbs this pregnancy and no other medications worked and one even gave me an allergic reaction so my team of drs felt it was our safest option. My baby has been monitored closely and is growing healthy and I haven’t done it weeks because I’m no longer throwing up and don’t need it. I asked what other tests she ran and she said none and told me to take Tylenol and go home and then lectured me about how she personally thinks my team of OB’s are wrong and how she personally doesn’t think ANYONE should be prescribed it and how losing weight is normal in pregnancy and being sick is normal and I should just suck it up. She said if I’m truly in pain I’ll take…TYLENOL. if she had LISTENED she would have known I’d said numerous times I’d been taking it! It’s now Friday and that was Monday night/Tuesday morning. My headache has not gone away since then. It is horrible. I am in the worst pain. My husband and I tried Miralax thinking I was maybe constipated and it helped me go, but that was it. I’ve only been drinking water, I’ve went through 2 30 packs in the past 4 days. I’m feeling a bit lightheaded/disoriented here and there. My husband said he’s gonna take me to our city tonight to the high risk hospital our OB’s office is at and go to their L&D because we know they’ll listen and take it seriously, our doctors are amazing and they really do care. But until then someone help me with some options because I am in so much pain and I’m crying and I do not ever want to go back to the hospital here, it was such a bad experience for me. And before anyone makes comments about marijuana during pregnancy, don’t. It’s saved mine and my babies lives and helped so much and I’m no longer using it as it’s not needed. I trust my doctors. I doubt they would all agree to prescribe something if it wasn’t “safe” and it’s been found a lot safer than a lot of the medications prescribed to people daily. With that being said, keep opinions of it to yourself please. I just need help with this headache and pain. Also I have a heartbeat monitor at home and I’ve been checking it through the day everyday as well as counting kicks to ensure baby is okay. If anything changes there I will probably go back to this L&D regardless how terrible they are :( I never had this happen with my other pregnancies and I’m honestly scared
