Procardia Rant

Georgia

I have been on procardia since 24 weeks. I am 33 weeks Thursday. They had to increase my dose about a week ago. Here is what I've noticed:

Raging headaches

Severe constipation

Aspiration of stomach acid

I pee my pants with no control like at least twice a day

I ran out today and missed having a dose for 9 hours. Just in that little break I had 4 bowel movements, did not pee my pants all day (even with sneezing and coughing) no headaches and a TON of contractions.

I clearly need it. And my kids are most important. But I cannot wait to be off this medication.

I have an anatomy scan tomorrow. If they are up over 4 lbs I am going to breathe a little easier and not have to worry so much about if I miss another dose.
