September 2023 Babies 🇬🇧

A long night 😢

So last night I ended up in triage with really bad back and head pains. Unfortunately I had a pretty bad experience once I got there I was put on a bed that had pee stains and hair all over it 😫 I really do not like moaning but obviously I couldn’t lie on the bed so my partner approached a midwife and she told him “tell her to use one of the clean ones then”. So this obviously wasn’t a good start.

The midwife eventually came and dipped my urine - it showed protein and leukocytes. My last few samples have shown the same and I have been on courses of anti biotics for UTIs throughout my pregnancy however my most recent sample came back clear of infection. My bloods were done and the doctor advised the infection and inflammation markers were really high so it looks like an infection they just aren’t 100% sure it’s a urine infection until the urine results come back from the lab.

I was given dihydrocodeine in the hospital then prescribed anti biotics and cocodamol and let out. Today I feel really not myself, I’ve been eating like a pig the last week and I can’t really stomach food, I feel sick and lightheaded and just generally a bit out of it.

Just wanted to have a wee bit of a rant and see if there’s anyone else that’s been in this position? I really am suffering now and just want baby boy here safe and sound 😔
