please help! im crying my eyes out and dont know where to turn next :'(
HAS THIS HAPPENED TO ANYONE???
I was at the deli waiting for my food when suddenly I felt flushed. I was just standing there! My heart started racing and I couldn't breathe and next thing I know, I woke up on the floor with paramedics surrounding me. They took me to ER and all they did was tell me I have a urinary tract infection and follow up with my OB :O and that "these things happen when pregnant" they discharged me and I immediately went over to doctor for a REAL opinion and he sternly asked me why I took an ambulance for fainting?! I said I was unconscious and the store called!! Long story short, he AlSO told me this can happen when pregnant and "keep some candy around and stay hydrated."
Now, I have a history of high risk pregnancies. Preterm labor, preterm birth, and high blood pressure. WHY DIDN'T ANYONE CHECK MY BABY???????????? I feel him/her moving, but that is not enough to satisfy me! I've been having painful contractions for two days now. How about checking my cervix??!! No one is doing anything for me and acting like contractions and passing out is normal! I left the office crying hysterically and told them I was never coming back! But until I find a new doctor, what is wrong with me???? I'm still lightheaded and have a terrible migraine and in my gut, this is not normal! What do I do? Has anyone experienced this before??
BTW...when I passed out, I was fully hydrated and had eaten an hour ago.

The symptoms of uti are similar to pregnancy so it is harder to tell...
I say you get that second opinion. I know I'm pushy but I would HATE to see something happen to you and that little unborn baby. You need to get pushy with the docs and make sure they know that this is what happened and that you have been in bed for a week. We as medical ppl don't get taken by other medical ppl very well and it sucks. Lol. I will pray for you sweetie and your unborn. I hope he's not on call when you go into labor. That would suck. Keep us up to date. I have to go to work but I will be checking to see.
