So went to the doctor this morning, and had to meet with a midwife again, because my doctor is doing rounds this week.
Turns out that I have another infection, not a bladder infection as they originally thought. Which is why the contractions aren’t stopping and why nothings working. So they gave me some antibiotics to treat that, and sent my on my way and okayed me to go back to work when I was feeling up to it.
Interesting enough, they ran the test for this infection on Monday whilst I was at the hospital, and had the results on Monday afternoon, but no one called me and told me the results, leaving me to have contractions all week, and to be worried all week.
And to be honest it REALLY pisses me off. It’s a pretty serious infection, and it’ll be okay with antibiotics but it causes pre term labor, and it just makes me so mad.
Like mad enough that I want to switch doctors. I mean how do you miss that, and how do I sit for a week with a infection in my body WHILST PREGNANT. What if Feebus got infected?
This whole thing has been so frustrating, and it’s just really too bad that on top of being first time parents, and being up at four in the morning deciding if you’re having contractions or being paranoid, and then bitchy nurses at the hospital, and being sick, you have to mess with all this stupid shit of people not doing their jobs. I really just don’t know about this, I really don’t see how I am supposed to trust my doctor now. I guess I will just have to figure that one out.
So the midwife today says that they didn’t get a good view of the heart and another ultrasound was recommended. YES. So when I go see the doc next week, and ask her to explain herself i also get to ask her when she wants me to do another ultrasound. I’m SO excited.
And ultimately me and Feebus will be okay! I’m still not dilating or effacing, and the baby who had been sleeping promptly kicked the doctor in the doppler today when she tried to listen to him and his heartbeat sounded great. There is a chance that I could go into pre term labor again, and there’s a chance that the infection could spread to Feebus, and there’s a chance that once the infection clears up I could get it again. But all those things will need to be dealt with as they come I suppose. IF I CAN FIND A DOCTOR WHO WON’T IGNORE MY TEST RESULTS.
Then I called my boss to tell her that I would be back Monday and she was kind of pissy. Wanted to know if my doctor officially wrote me out for tomorrow and made me call HR to make sure what paperwork I needed. PISSED me off. I just got medication today to make the contractions stop, and I’m not going to work tomorrow so I can have them all day at work because of the stress. I will take tomorrow and Saturday and Sunday and let my body rest. Because I care about my baby, and don’t want to jump the gun and go back to the hospital this weekend.
The contractions are already starting to die down and I’m getting so tired. I didn’t realize how on edge I had been all week.
So no, I’m not going back to work. And HR never called me back after they called me back to tell me they were going to call me back, so THERE.
GOD. I just don’t think anyone understands what IDIOTS they are right now. I just really am pissed and aggravated.
In other news Alex Trebek (you know the jeopardy guy) acts like he knows all the answers to all the questions. Do you think that he really knows the answers, that he’s learned them from giving them over the years, or that he won the host spot by some super smartie pants “Jeopardy” game between the top smartest hosts who applied? He kind of is to cool for school on his show and I don’t understand.
And the only downfall is now I can’t take two days off at the end of next week for my birthday because I’ve been gone this week. That’s okay, I guess. So much for a birthday present to myself.
