Ask your dr for pain meds is all you can really do I think. Sorry you are in pain.
I called my doctors office and they said a nurse would call me back but its now after 4 and I haven't gotten a call. Hopefully they will call tomorrow. Do you think it would be ok to put a pain relieving cream on my back tonight just until I get a call from them tomorrow? Like icy/hot or thera-gesic?
I wouldn't, I know my midwife said not to use them. Wait to see what yours says first, or call back and talk to them.
Ok thank you. The doctors office is closed now, so I will have to call them again in the morning. Hmm I guess another sleepless night, I just keep telling myself I am so close to having him. Just a few more weeks...
They don't have an on call doctor?
Nope. My husband is in the military so my ob/gyn is part of the naval hospital and if its after hours you have L&D but thats only if its an emergency.
Ahhh, military doctors. I've never heard anything good about them..
Yeah I am not a fan but I don't have much of choice. They still only see me 4 weeks for a check up when everyone else gets check ups way more often this far along, and any concern I have I feel like they throw on the back burner... Oh well once again I just have to tell myself just a few more weeks till I have my little man in my arms and I don't have to see them anymore. Well except for birth control.
You can always try to call l&d let them know that you called your ob/gyn and never got a call back, let them know also the pain and what you've tryd... not sure about this but my doc also a military doctor put me on a mix of unisom and vitamin b6 for my sickness and ot helps with sleep as i had a fusion done in my lower back 1year ago and still have horrible pain lol... so that may be something to bring up to L&D if unisom is safe for you at 35 + weeks?!? I also takr benadryl for my allergies but i only take one and right befor bed because it makes me sleepy
Sorry for such a long reply... just think it's wortha shot since your in such pain to call L&D.. hope you get some help and some sleep!
Thank you. I guess I will give L&D a call, I am willing to try anything at this point...
I have had excessive back labor and back pain
With all three of my pregnancies. All I can recommend is laying with a pillow under your lower back. Ive never been given pain meds for my pain they just tell me its part of pregnancy. Sorry ur in pain.
