I can't catch a break!
I had all of the text book symptoms of a UTI and I was trying to wait it out for my OB appointment that I have today. Well, by the time Jordan got home from work last night I couldn't handle the pain anymore and called my OB office. It was after office hours for them so they sent me to Urgent Care. They did a urine analysis, which came back negative. The doctor went ahead and gave me meds for the UTI anyway just in case and said they were going to send it off to be tested further.
We come home, I take the medicine and some Benadryl (still fighting this sinus infection), took a shower, then tried to lay down. I eventually fell asleep but woke up when Jordan came to bed. I was in horrible pain. The pain had spread to my lower abdomen and lower back and was almost unbearable. Jordan tells me to call my OB again and they send me to labor & delivery at the hospital.
I told them about my negative urine analysis for UTI but they decide to do another just in case. I get hooked up to all kinds of machines to monitor the baby - baby is doing fine. They basically said the same thing the Urgent Care place said and told me that the pains I'm feeling in my lower abdomen and back are most likely ligament pain from stretching to accomodate the baby. She said that pain can be pretty severe but will go away. Back home we go.
I woke up every hour throughout the night in horrible pain. Then I made the mistake of taking the medicine again without eating and that made me sick. The pain isn't quite as horrible today but it's still very very uncomfortable today.
I have an appointment with my OB today for my glucose test and they're going to do a follow-up with me on this whole UTI thing. Hopefully we'll have some answers.

ReplyDeleteSorry about the crappy night Ash. Every UTI I've ever had has came up negative at the doctors office and then positive when they sent it in for more testing. So keep taking those meds.
