Occasional abdominal discomfort is a common pregnancy complaint, and while it may be harmless, it can also be a sign of a problem.

Not sure whats wrong but maybe someone can help?

Q: I’ve been to the ER twice and they tell me there not sure what is wrong with me at first they said it was round ligament pain then it was i had something wrong with my appendix which they couldn’t find on the Ultra sound. 2nd day i went they said well were still not sure but it could be round ligament pain. Its the 3rd day now and i woke up with a sore throat,really severe diarrhea,spotting,severe lower back pain,shoulder pain,and still have lower right abdominal pain. If anyone has any suggestions it would be great. Also i’m 17 weeks and 3 days pregnant.

A: All i can say is it doesn’t sound like round ligament pain. Abdominal pain is normal but it isn’t supposed to be a constant pain. Round ligament pain comes and goes, especially when you sneeze, cough, or change positions too fast. You need to follow up with your medical doctor or OBGYN. Emergency rooms are the worst when it comes to telling you what’s wrong. They have so many other people to deal with, they don’t really focus on patients enough. I hope everythings ok.

Am I right to be freaking out?

Q: To start, I’m 32 weeks and some change pregnant with my 2nd child…I went to the ER a week ago because I was having abdominal pain and pain in my back. They kept me overnight, wouldn’t let me eat any solid foods because they weren’t sure if it was my appendix causing my pain. Friday morning they still had me on a liquid diet (I went 38 hours without eating solid food and was ready to kill by the time it was over). Friday afternoon they determined my appendix was ok and it was a urinary tract infection causing my symptoms and they released me, telling me to follow up with my regular OB/GYN. They gave me 3 treatments of anti biotics while I was there but didn’t send me home with any sort of follow up medication.Since then I’ve been having vaginal irritation (the whole area feels raw and irritated) and occasional burning when I pee…and yesterday there was just the teeniest amount of blood once when I wiped myself after urinating (the blood was after my doctor’s appt so I didn’t tell them about that but I did tell them about the irritation and they said it was normal and should go away, but they didn’t give me any kind of time frame on when)…my doctor took a urine sample and they say they will test it to see if the infection is still present but it will take a few days to know. If the infection is still there, they are supposed to call in a anti-biotic prescription for me. So far I haven’t heard anything back yet.But, if I’m correct in thinking that my infection is not gone, am I right to be angry with the hospital for releasing me with out sending me home with any sort of follow up treatment, just assuming it would be ok and if it wasn’t that it could wait until my next doctor’s appointment for a follow-up? I’m reading online that UTIs can cause premature labor and it just seems like they should’ve done more to make sure the infection was definitely gone, given that the consequences of it not being gone could be serious (I realize that the baby would most likely survive if it were born this early but there would be of course be risks of delivering this early and I want my baby to be as healthy as possible).I had planned to deliver at the particular hospital I went to initially for treatment but now I’m thinking I should consider going to another hospital. Honestly, I’m angry and feeling distrustful after they starved me and then seemed to be taking such a casual attitude about my health at this difficult time. Unfortunately, the next closest hospital is 45 miles away and I’m not familiar with it. Nothing’s to say it would be better, but I have heard lots of bad things about the hospital I’ve already been to…(then again when I had my first child, I had heard a lot of bad things about that hospital too but I had a pretty good birthing experience there) Am I right to be freaking out or am I just overreacting, maybe because I’m pregnant, maybe because I’m having to deal with this stupid infection which is very uncomfortable?Any advice would be appreciated from other women who’ve been there themselves or people who maybe have known someone in a similar situation.Thanks!

A: ER’s just offer basic care and expect you to make an appointment with your regular doctor. Most of the time it’s better to make an appointment with your regular doctor than go to the ER. ER doctor’s don’t know you, and can’t do too much beyond ruling out anything life threatening. And generally are swamped busy. Your regular doctor knows you and your history and basically have time to figure out what is going on.

I’m so scared I might have Leukemia?

Q: Right now as I type this it is 12:36 a.m. and I’ve awoke from terrible nightmares because of all the events going on in my mind. Let me start from the beginning…I got pregnant last year and gave birth in November. I had a C-section and three weeks later in December had terrible abdominal pain in my left side and went immeadiately to the E.R. to make sure there were no surgical complications as the pain was excruciating and intense. They diagnose me with Gallstones and to follow up with my G.P. There in the hospital my WBC count was 15,000 and I was prescribed antibiotics. Fast forward to January. Things are fine with my Gall bladder and I’m enjoying my daughter feeling great…my G.P. (general practitioner) calls because my bloodwork showed my white blood cell still elevated at 13000….fine, I go in to retake 1 month after the 13000 reading praying everything is well. Last monday I get a call it’s 13.9 and I’m being referred to a hematologist/oncologist for testing to rule out any blood diseases. Up until this moment I had been fine, I’m 23 and yes I am extremely overweight but that is a story in itself. I’ve struggled the last 3 years with Bulimia as well, which the dr. does not know of and I have terrible anxiety. I can only pray that I am O.K. but after coming online to read the possible problems I can’t help but be terrified it’s Leukemia. I also have reoccurring ringworm that I didn’t mention to this Dr. and I’m praying this is the reason it’s elevated. I’ve also read severe emotional or physical stress…..well, bulimia, anxiety, a c-section, gall stones the holidays…..all have taken an extreme toll on my body and I once again am praying this is the cause. Tomorrow I call the other Dr. they referred me to, to set up testing. I just don’t know how I’m going to make it until then. I’m literally shaking, I just cannot calm down about this I’m so scared. I just started my life, got married bought a house and had my baby how can all of these things keep happening. I guess I need some words of rationalism and hope….I just don’t know what to do and I really don’t need any ‘oh yes you have leukemia you’re dying’ answers. I just needed someone to listen and tell me I’m being irrational I guess. Biggest mistake was googling symptoms online! It’s funny how I have none then miraculously I’m thinking I have them all! It’s all psychological with me I guess….I just want to enjoy my daughter and my life. For the first time I am ready to beat my eating disorder and am trying so hard to control my anxiety but with this it’s just no use. I can’t calm down. One minute I’m fine and my husband convinces me not to worry and the next I’m practically crawling out of my skin with fear. I suppose my real questions are….could my ringworm be the cause? Or my previous long Bulimia battle? Or my intense anxiety? Or the extreme physical stress of the Bulimia, then pregnancy, then surgery, then gall stones?? I need to hear that there IS another explanation. Please if you are experienced and able, please give me your input. (Oh and when I say the physical stress from the eating disorder , for those that do not know it’s intense and tragic and just reeks havoc on the body and mind. I personally lost 160lbs in about 1 year….then over 2 gained 100 back while still suffering from the illness but now am trying desperately to be healthy for my family and it’s working. Or so I thought) Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please do not criticize or respond with rudeness. Only honest professional opinions please….Thanks again. And God Bless…

A: Well yes you are being irrational and if you really want to enjoy your life and your new baby you need to find a good therapist and deal with your emotional issues. Once you deal with that everything else will work itself out. as this is where most of your problems come from. You also need to consider your baby. I know you don’t mean to, but you are projecting your thoughts and insecurities on your baby and maybe creating anxiety and emotional issues for him or her. You have so many health issues the cause could be many other things rather than leukemia. Oncologists are very good at putting it all together. I work with a lot of them and the vast majority is very sweet and are used to dealing with people at emotionally stressful times in their lives. You need to be perfectly honest and open with them regarding you medical history for them to do their job well and to give you the best advice possible.
