I am 5 weeks 3 days. I had a fever a week ago, have seen the doctor 4 times for lingering throat problems. Today found out I have peritonsillitis. It is so painful and has kept me awake for three nights now. I have a wonderful man who stayed up last night making me tea and rubbing my back while I cried. Am being put on medications that will take days to start working. If they dont Ill require surgery. I am so worried for my little chocolate chip. I talk to them often. The doctor feels the meds are safe enough and Im putting my trust in that as its atleast much safer than surgery. Keep fighting and growing little one. Its been one wild ride since finding out we are pregnant. I love this baby so much. Any other women have similar stories?
