Guest guest Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Your baby is okay even though you have an infection but they should of called you and gotten you on something. AS for the vitamins, you should be taking a prenantal along with your regular vitamins and I would go buy yourself some over the counter ones while you wait for that dcotor. ALso pick up 800 mcg folic acid tablets to help repvent birth defects. I take these along with my regular vitamins and all my labe have come out great before and since pregnancy. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Well, don't feel so bad on the prenatal vitamin issue.....I had my first OB visit today and he said to just continue taking the 2 chewable vitamins like I have been since I had my WLS. I have been very yucky and sick feeling for about a week now and he said the prenatal vitamins will only make me sicker.He said that we will be fine. Hey, I lost 4 pounds! D.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Hey you guys! I need to vent as well. I went to my doc about 2 weeks ago. I had labs done and had not heard anything from them regarding the lab work. So I called today and nurse tells me all my labs look good except I have a bladder infection! I have no symptoms and have no pain. She says the symptoms are burning urination (don't have) and pressure and frequent urination (which of course I have--I am almost 14 weeks). But here's my complaint. I have had a bladder infection for over 2 weeks and the doc's office didn't call and tell me until I called them and ASKED!!!!!! Is the infection hurting the baby??? It has been growing and churning down there for 2 weeks. I am a little stressed that the baby might have been affected. And now they are (finally) putting me on a antibiotic. I am also 14 weeks and I am NOT on a prenatal vitamin. I don't have another appointment until July 27ish. And doc said, " Well bring in all the vitamins you are taking and we will decide what you are lacking and what we need to add. " But that isn't until I am about 16- 18 weeks. What if I am lacking some essential vitamin or supplement and HAVE been all this time?!?!?! I am taking all my vitamins since the surgery so it isn't like I am completely lacking supplements. But still, what if there is something missing????? Am I stressing over nothing? Is everything ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Ugh! That reeks of negligence! Are you able to get another test, perhaps the lab got the first test wrong. Esp since you don't have one of the telltale signs. Regarding supplements, there's an excellent link on the home page, for starters. Dunno if I place too much confidence in your providers...

My dr. told me to take one a day, but everything I read says not to tkae Aspirin. Any haelp would be appreciated.. Thanks, Candace --------------------------------- Baby aspirin is often recommended for women who have blood clotting issues... or a mild version of Factor V. Aspirin is thins the blood.. helps reduces clotting.. hence reducing clots from the Uterus to baby via umbilical cord... or so goes the theory. My sisters are all Factor V with the Pro thobin (sp).. and should they wish to attempt pregnancy.. they would require the Heperin or Lovenox shots. ********************************* K in Ft Lauderdale Mommy to: Noah - 10/14/02 Jonah edd 11/18/04 http://www.couponcrazymoms.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 I didnt think we were supposed to take aspirin because of the risk of gastric ulcers?? I have never heard of it preventing a miscarriage myself.... this should be an interesting thread.
