For now, adhere to that bed rest and listen to some of your favorite, calming music while breathing deeply. Maybe talk to your little guy too :) Hugs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chest-pains/page/2#post-933935 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 20:06:51 +0000 MapleMoose 933935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: So frustrating not knowing!

What an awful situation :(</p> <p>I had severe pain there too but it was because J was kicking my ribs like a soccer ball! They were completely fanned out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chest-pains/page/2#post-933607 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 18:12:07 +0000 anbanan15 933607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: Glad to hear the CT was fine. Hope you get some answers soon and are feeling better shortly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chest-pains/page/2#post-933432 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 17:11:56 +0000 Jellyfish 933432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It must be frustrating not knowing what the problem is yet, but glad to hear the CT scan turned out normal. Sending positive thoughts your way and hoping you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chest-pains/page/2#post-933397 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 17:02:16 +0000 MrsTiz 933397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So the CT scan showed absolutely nothing. Everything looked perfectly fine and my doctor sounded really frustrated telling me that because she has no clue what the problem is now. So I'm still supposed to be on modified bed rest and I have another appointment tomorrow and have to take my temp every hour tonight and then practice breathing deeply </p> <p>I feel even more defeated now, I was hoping for answers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chest-pains/page/2#post-932069 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 11:44:26 +0000 MrsTiz 932069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: good idea. I'm up pacing now, I feel the same way, soooo full. I need some more space to fit it all in lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chest-pains/page/2#post-932063 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 11:42:34 +0000 2PeasinaPod 932063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Missed this last week, but sending lots of good vibes your way! I hope all goes well!</p> <p>And to put your mind at ease a little bit...my SIL had kidney stones throughout her whole pregnancy with my niece. They went in and did 2 surgeries to crush them while she was pregnant. They take special care of you, but surgery can be done while pregnant if it comes to that! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chest-pains/page/2#post-932054 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 11:40:34 +0000 IRunForFun 932054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: I'm sure this is different because I wasn't PG when I had to drink that chalky stuff, but when I got so full I thought I'd barf if I drank another sip, they let me take my drink and go out and walk around a bit. I found that changing positions and "walking it off" so to speak made it easier to get some more down... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chest-pains/page/2#post-932050 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 11:38:54 +0000 MrsTiz 932050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! I'm almost in tears over this drink, I'm so full and I still have to drink 1 and a half more before 1:30 ahhg!</p> <p>I wish this was all over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chest-pains/page/2#post-932013 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 11:25:40 +0000 littlek 932013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: Thinking of you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chest-pains/page/2#post-931988 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 11:18:30 +0000 singingbee 931988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: thinking of you!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chest-pains/page/2#post-931974 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 11:14:52 +0000 sweetooth 931974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just saw this thread and got all caught up - I'm thinking good thoughts for you today my fellow November mama! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chest-pains/page/2#post-931878 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 10:45:35 +0000 Ash 931878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thinking of you, mama! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chest-pains/page/2#post-931862 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 10:39:53 +0000 MrsF 931862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You poor thing! :sad: Glad you're being watched closely but sorry that you have to worry about this.

Let us know how the scan goes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chest-pains/page/2#post-931821 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 10:26:57 +0000 anbanan15 931821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: I am glad they checked your WBC again first. At least that gives you some confirmation that another CT is needed. Good luck this afternoon and keep us posted! Thinking of you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chest-pains/page/2#post-931811 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 10:25:14 +0000 MrsTiz 931811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Went up there this morning and they sent me to the hospital to recheck my white blood cell count. It's still crazy high at 17.9 after almost a week of antibiotics. </p> <p>So I'm drinking this chalky drink now and having the scan this afternoon. She seemed concerned so eek </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chest-pains/page/2#post-929983 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 09:22:19 +0000 MrsTiz 929983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsF: @anbanan15: I'm not sure but I will definitely be asking. Of course my left side is hurting today so I'm going to think about it until I give myself appendicitis baha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chest-pains/page/2#post-929839 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 07:09:02 +0000 anbanan15 929839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsF: I was thinking that too...They did have triuble locating mine and I certainly wasn't pregnant at the time. Always worth asking for peach of mind though if she's concerned about another CT. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chest-pains/page/2#post-929827 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 06:55:56 +0000 MrsF 929827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: @MrsTiz: I wonder if they wouldn't be able to diagnose appendicitis by ultrasound because the baby / uterus would be in the way. They had trouble evaluating my gallbladder (obviously not in the same place) while I was pregnant because everything was moved around and obscured. It's hard to imagine you having appendicitis without any abdominal pain. I hope you get some answers soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chest-pains/page/2#post-929824 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 06:51:57 +0000 anbanan15 929824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: It's alway good to have those lists! I hope you get it all sorted out! Tomorrow is Monday already so you won't have to wait too long at least before you talk to them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chest-pains/page/2#post-929820 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 06:49:17 +0000 MrsTiz 929820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: from what I understand they're doing the scAn to check and see if it is.. At y appointment they didn't mention it to me at all, so I think it's more to rule it out? I wrote down a list of questions because whenever I get there I always forget haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chest-pains#post-929814 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 06:31:12 +0000 anbanan15 929814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: ugh I hate that you are waiting around! I actually am puzzled why they would wait until Monday if they thought it was an appendicitis? When I had my appendicitis I needed to go the ER as soon as my doctor confirmed that's what it could be because they want to catch it early enough before it ruptures. They also ordered an ultrasound of my abdomen to examine my appendix and not a CT scan. I wonder if you expressed your concerns if you could have an ultrasound of the area instead? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chest-pains#post-929807 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 06:23:00 +0000 MrsTiz 929807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. 64: she had the surgery? I assumed you couldn't have it while pregnant, so that's good to know. I wish I had a chance to ask my doctor all this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chest-pains#post-929508 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 22:13:56 +0000 mrs. 64 929508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: I'm so sorry. This is really frustrating. I have a friend who had her appendix removed while she was pregnant. Baby was delivered several months later, on time and healthy. Hoping you don't have to go that route though. Thinking of you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chest-pains#post-929394 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 20:51:08 +0000 MrsTiz 929394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay update to the updates, </p> <p>So Friday they called and said my white blood cell count was still really high so to come in to the office. I went and they didn't really do anything because the count went down but was still too high. They said they wanted to do another Ct scan and I assumed it was for my chest again. They sent me to a different outpatient hospital to register for my scan on Monday and they said that the scan was of my abdomen and was to check for appendicitis. It said the same on my referral papers, but they didn't mention anything to me about it at my OB office. </p> <p>Soo I called them and of course it's a Friday so they closed at 12 and I missed it by 8 minutes. :(</p> <p>Where I am now is that I am ok with another scan if they truly think its necessary or if they really think its appendicitis. But I don't want another scan, especially since this one is on my abdomen if they're not sure and just want to test to rule it out, if that makes sense?</p> <p>I'm going to my ob first thing Monday to get more info because I want them to be sure I need the CT scan before I have to start drinking the chalky contrast medicine they have me and I have to start it at 11am. </p> <p>I'm so frustrated. What if it is appendicitis, will they remove it while I'm pregnant?? If not, what if they just are testing to rule it out and it messes up the baby's growth?</p> <p>Ahhhg </p>
