Re: Symptoms & complaints (weekend)

  • Might have stuck myself with a dirty needle at work last night. Not 100% sure I did (it's a small needle that doesn't leave a mark or bleed) and that's the only thing keeping me calm. Now I have to wait one or two weeks until we get serologies back from the donor before I know if I'm in the clear. I've been really worried about sticking myself while pregnant so I've been trying to be super careful, but it got me no where. Ugh. On the bright side, my pregnancy symptoms have been really mild. At least I don't have to feel like crap AND be stressed out.

    that's stressful. I hope the results come quickly and are all negative

    Ugh!! So much extra stress! Hopefully it comes back really quickly so you don't have to worry long.

    Never recap a dirty needle!!!!!! Not sure if that is how it happened but I stuck myself for the first time about a year ago. The needle had already been "recapped" and I went to pull the top to "click" to dispose and the needle came through the cap. Ugh, it sucks! Hope everything comes back good! I sympathize.

    @sweetpea216 - hope you get good news back quickly!
  • Nothing too exciting - this afternoon I did have some killer cramps/gas pains though but other than that pretty smooth sailing for me

    Ahh! Scary!! FX for good news! I've been getting lightheaded a lot the last few days, hopefully it'll get better since I've upped my water intake. No motivation to do anything..but I picked out most of the fabric we're using to make all the crib stuff for the nursery and got to spend quality time with my momma, so I'm thankful for that!

  • The tiredness is getting a little better but my attitude was horrible yesterday. Still not sleeping great, and I still have the nausea and vomiting. This round ligament pain is scary...if I turn wrong in the bed it's awful!!! And my hips hurt too
  • Thanks everyone. :)

    @ThecoffeeBunch
    Yeah, recapping is never good. That really sucks! Mine was 6-0 suture. I apparently pulled the needle out of its container while cleaning up my field and didn't realize it until I felt a pinch.

    Oh! I've been nervous about that before too, we do small procedures at our office so we only have a few "OR" supplies... Is 6-0 smaller I assume? Since you said the needle was really small. Try not too worry to much and keep us posted!

  • Nothing to complain about. Feeling great! :D
  • I'm a nurse so I know the feeling! I am always paranoid about giving shots because 1. Needle safety isn't fool proof. And 2. We use a lot of harmones like depo that can sink into the skin. Hope all goes well!
