Anyone Know Anything About These Symptoms??? Posted: 08-03-04 19:02pm
Ok well im posting for heather who isnt
feeling to hot, anyway. First of all she
went to a fair on sunday all day and did
the most moving around that shes done in a
long time and monday is when it all
started so...Here is whats going on, it
all prgressivly got worse...Shes been
having heavy back pain in her lower back
and middle back that started lastnight and
got worse even to the point she was crying
cause it hurt so bad and she couldnt get
comfortable, she has a really bad headache
that has made her hearing a lil impared
according to her, she couldnt sleep
lastnight due to nausia(sp?Throw up
feeling) then ended up taking a bath then
throwing up alot then another shower then
throwing up again and got very little
sleep. She also has been having along
with the throwing up diarhea type bowel
movments and mainly lower abdominal pain
but still pain all over her abdomin. Also
dont know if its tmi but her pelvic area
also has been hurting her along with
swelling. Fetal movment has been minimal
that she has noticed not like all the
other days, and shes really been thinking
that mackenzie is comin soon so idk I
guess if anyone knows anything about these
symptoms then feel free to tell us cause
were kinda worried she comes back to my
house tommaro for the weekend so I can
take care of her better than no one at her
house

Well as you know, swelling and headaches
are typical symptoms of toxemia. She
needs to get to a doc! Also, diarrhea
and back pain (which sounds alot like back
labor from what you're describing) are
symptoms of upcoming labor, so it does
sound like it will be soon. Tell her to
take it easy and call her doc!

See but they already told us that she does
not have toximia and she will be fine the
rest of her pregnancy, I also thought of
backlabor as soon as she said those things
to me but we dont want her mom knowing
this stuff cause then she wont let heather
come to my house or come up here period
cause she "needs" to be by her house when
she goes into labor so her lazy a$$ doesnt
have to drive all the way here to see her
grandchild born im sorry for the language
there but she really angers me off and she
also says if heather goes into labor up
here and doesnt drive all the way 2 hours
back home to have mackenzie she will be in
big trouble now if thats not right I dont
know what is jeez but enough about her...

Ok first off i'm sorry you two are having
to deal with this being seperated! I'm
sure you are constantly worried about her!
Ok, if this is not "normal" for her...And
I think its safe to say that diarrhea,
vomitting, hearing problems and pain are
not normal...Then you definately need to
call the doctor. As for the doctor
telling you that she will be fine the rest
of her pregnancy...Thats dumb on his part
because how does he know nothing else is
gonna happen. Thats like one of the first
things they teach us in school is to never
tell patients everything is gonna be ok,
because you dont know! I know that you
want heather to be able to come visit this
weekend, but you really do need to put her
and mackenzies health as a priority, and I
know you do! Like erin said,
toxemia....The symptoms you are describing
sounds like a classic case of toxemia.
And I dont say that to scare you, but you
guys really do need to call the doctor!
Best of luck to both of you! I hope
heather starts feeling better soon!

oh another thing....Toxemia, pregnancy
induced hypertension (pih), pre-eclampsia,
and eclampsia.....They are all essentially
the same thing! Besides the fact that
pre-eclampsia is a sign that full blown
eclampsia could occur without treatment.
All those terms are pretty much used
interchangably. Just thought I would
clear that up!

throughout the last couple months and the
dr always wastes our time saying to wait
too see if it gets better then come back
for our schedualed visit so idk besides
she isnt throwing up anymore and lost the
pooping lol we'll see in the morning

You need to call a Dr. A.S.A.P!!!! There
is no way that they can tell her she will
be fine the rest of her pregnancy. You
can develop toxemia at any point even
afterwards. It's not something to mess
around with. Those are very serious
symptoms. Call a Dr. Now!

Also, just to ad... Make sure she drinks
enough fluids... With all that throwing
up and diahhrea she'll get dehydrated very
quickly, something else that can bring on
preterm labor... Hope she's okay!! Try
calling the 24 hour nurse line at the
hospital, they should be able to help
out.... If not, take her to the er if you
have too... Its better to be safe than
sorry!!

Hey ladies, its just me heather, I woke up
this morning due to more abdominal(sp?)
pain. I figured it was becuase I had to
go to the bathroom and so I did but it
even hurt to do that but after I went pee
it seemed to get worse and now my lower
back pain is back. Im gonna call the doc
right now. Im sick of wondering what is
going on, ill let yall know what they say
asap. Thanks for helping, yall are a big
help. P.S. Ive also been feeling like im
gonna throw up again. I dont think this
stuff is normal because I never have these
kinda problems but we'll see what the doc
says.

Well I talked to the nurse at my doctors
office(doc isnt in) and they are gonna put
me on a monitor for 30mins. But honestly
what is a monitor gonna do for 30mins?
They said after that I can leave, well how
is that gonna tell them how ive been
feeling? I explained everything and thats
all she said, monitor thing. Are they
worried about the baby or something?
Please help, thanks. My doctors nurse
doesnt like me ever since I got outa the
hospital...O well.
