hi, just going to vent here...sorry for the long post.
Soo as I’m sure everyone else here has been feeling miserable first trimester. Yesterday I had a really bad day, I work 12hr shift as an ER nurse. Got off at 11p drove home starving & dry heaving at the same time . Ran inside started throwing up. Ate a few crackers, already had taken Reglan (1 of my nausea pills) & I couldn’t stop dry heaving, so I took my 2nd pill Phenergan. Well I try not to take Phenergan because sometimes it makes me get restless legs really bad. So I woke at like 3a of course w restless legs, still nauseated & dry heaving when I got up. I massaged my legs, stretched,took 1000mg of Ca as dr suggested. Nothing worked. After an hr of just being at my wits end I took 1/4 of my tramadol pill I had pre pregnancy. It was barely anything but I was at the point of just crying because I felt so bad. Anyways I told my husband I took 1/4 of tramadol & he lost it! Yelling at me how irresponsible I am, telling me if we go to our scan tomo & there’s no heartbeat he’s blaming me, if there’s anything wrong at all w the baby he’ll blame me for the rest of my life. I was just blown away. I haven’t drank, ate, took anything not on the approved list & im 13wks. I just was soo overwhelmed w throwing up, starving, dry heaving, restless legs that wouldn’t end that I just basically was like I’ve got to do something. We treat pregnant patients all the time & we give them medications. I understand it’s not ideal but there was just a point I couldn’t take it any longer & just needed some relief. We’re now in a big fight because he thinks I’m recklessly harming my baby. He said it’s no longer My Body & I’m not allowed to do that ever again even if I’m suffering. He basically was like it’s your fault you knew Phenergan could give u restless legs. Is this not just a tad crazy & out of hand?! I told him I’ll tell my dr tomo that I took a piece of the tramadol , I’m not a bad person & I do not believe that that 1/4 of a pill is seriously going to cause a huge birth defect. There’s no reasoning w him right now & im sooo irritated! I think I’m going to lose it . Thx for listening
