This pregnancy has been so hard on me
Hi everyone, I guess I just kinda need to vent. I'm now 30 weeks with my baby boy, due May 26. This pregnancy is killing me:( The first 4 months I was sick all the time and couldn't keep anything down, I am anemic so I have to watch my iron close. It causes me to be dizzy and weak if I don't. I've had bad back pain since the beginning, my ribs on the left side are separated and cause me constant pain and I just got out of the hospital yesterday. It was my 2nd stay with my severe kidney problems. The baby is putting a block on my urinary tract and it's causing my kidneys and bladder to not function right. That's why I keep having repeated infections and on top of that, kidney stones:( I'm so uncomfortable, I'm in so much pain, and I'm depressed because I can't do anything but rest right now. I have so much I need to be doing to get ready for the baby and I just feel helpless. Now I have to take a medication everyday the rest of my pregnancy to see if we can prevent another severe infection. When I got admitted last Monday I was severely dehydrated, my fever was 103.7, and the pain in my kidneys was unbearable. I went through all this before at 21 weeks and I pray I don't have to go back into the hospital again. This pregnancy has been so hard on my body, I'm just ready for it to be over:'( Anyway, I just needed to vent. Hope all you ladies areally doing great!
MamaBear I'm sorry your going through all that. I really hope things get better for you, but I know how you feel. I know that just-wanna-cry -my-eyes-out feeling:( I guess we just gotta be tough and make it through this. Im with you on wanting this to be over too! I'l be praying for you girl:)
I'm trying to hold on but I have no clue how I can make it two more months like this. Spiket77 I have a wonderful hubby who has been so great through all of this. He helps me with everything and im so thankful. I also have a great Mom and Mother in Law who have been there for me, and a few good friends. I'm trying to stay positive, but it is hard. I have a 3 year old little girl and I'm not able to do alot with her and it hurts me. Keep me in your prayers and I'll do the same with y'all.
I hear you...I feel like it's one thing after another, a lot of it physical/health challenges but some of it just life. I'm single and it's so hard to do things I didn't even have to think about before, the fatigue is getting worse, and over everything is the fact that my asthma has stayed horrible throughout the pregnancy so I just can't breathe very well. Just opened a letter from my insurance company saying they dropped my OB provider from coverage, immediately got a headache, so I'm not even sure some recent visits I had were covered and am now wondering where the heck the money's going to come from if I have to pay out-of-pocket. Sitting here feeling like crying. Can't wait for this to be over...been saying this kid had better be cute and perfectly behaved for all the trouble I've had getting her here.
Ahhh so sorry honey that's exactly how my first pregnancy was and it's exhausting and depressing. Hang in there.. I'll try to respond better when I get a chance <3
Wow! I'm so sorry you have been some uncomfortable. Pregnancy is hard when things are going smooth...I can't imagine what you are going through. I hope you have some good people to lean on. Don't be afraid to ask for help with anything and everything. Stress is hard on your body too...so, anything you can do to relax is good. I had a kidney issue when I was pregnant and the only thing that helped was acupuncture. I don't know if you are interested in that but if so, look into it. Also, chiropractors might be able to help...especially with the rib issue. Medicaid even covers chiropractic during pregnancy here.
