I am 38 weeks as of tomorrow…I have had by far one of the most unpleasent pregnancies ever. At 24 weeks I was diagnosed with Hypoglycemia (low sugar), and before I found out I was pregnant I was told Id never conceive due to PCOS and the fact my body wasnt producing enough hormones to even start a period. Well the overdrive of hormones and the low sugar have taken over this pregnancy and I am unable to enjoy this time with my family or even myself. I have headaches all day everyday. The type that make you cry but you try to force yourself not to knowing that it will just make them worse, the kind that make you stay in bed in a dark bedroom and only open your eyes when your husband tells you its dark enough. I have been prescribed 3 different narcotics in the past month to try to control them. First it was tylenol 3, then vidocen and now percocet. None of these work and I hate taking them knowing my daughter is taking them as well and could be born addicted. I dont understand why my Dr. hasnt mentioned induction over the drugs but this monday at my apt I plan on putting my foot down and telling him Im miserable and can not continue introducing my baby to these drugs…Im going to tell him I want to be induced asap. How should I ask him? What should I say to get my point across?
also the dr wants me to have a ct scan to see if my headaches are caused by a mass on my brain or something …however thats introducing my baby to radiation and im not doing it until shes born….the headaches may go away after shes here and if not ill have the scan….
