having a hard time with this

[bananabee]

We've been trying to get pregnant since Feb 09. This cycle my chart looked so different, I had a feeling it'd be the one. A few days after ovulating, I injured my hip & back severely and long story short I've been in the hospital for 8 days now, on bedrest w/a catheter and drugged w/narcotics. I have a slipped vertabra and literally can't move/sit up, etc. Tues I was being prepped for surgery when they discovered I am pregnant. Surgery will be postponed until I'm at least 14 wks along so there is less risk of miscarriage.

I need your prayers, mamas. I've wanted a baby so badly for so long. It just doesn't feel real yet and I'm so miserable stuck in this bed, knowing the meds might affect my baby, not to mention that surgery later still poses a risk. I don't feel happy at all about this right now. I know when I'm recovered from surgery, and able to walk again, I'll be much more excited. Please pray and help me cheer up.

I'm sorry, that's a tough position to be in. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I saw your posts in "THE ONE" thread. I am so sorry that you are having to go through this. I know that it's all going to work out for good, but I imagine that doesn't make it any easier for you. I will definately be praying for you and your family.

You poor thing! That's a tough situation but try and remember that our babies are tough too. You wouldn't believe some of the crazy stories I've heard about healthy babies being born to mothers who had to undergo chemotherapy or who didn't know they were pregnant at all and smoked or drank. Your situation may not be ideal but your baby has a lot going for him or her. They are loved and wanted and have a mama who's doing her best despite the difficult circumstances. Stay strong and best wishes!!!

It's almost Murphy's Law, isn't it, that this would all happen at once? I hope you recover quickly and can start enjoying the pregnancy like you deserve to. I'm sure babe will be fine. Are the docs concerned about any of the meds you'd been given before they found out you were expecting?

Oh I am so sorry you are going through all of this. Many many healthy vibes coming your way, mama. You can do this, and you will get through this

I told them I might be prego from the beginning. I'm on fentanyl and valium b/c they're the only pain meds i can tolerate. the OB approved and said not to worry about it. she thinks valium is not as bad as it's reputation. there is some controvercial research or something. hopefully i won't need them as much as time goes on. i try to get by w/just 1 valium per day. no idea how long i'll be here in the hospital.

thx for all the hugs.
