TB, quarantine and other joys not needed during pregnancy (vent)
So, a little vent goes a long way.... After ectopic and miscarriage, had subchorionic hemorrhage, lost a twin this pregnancy, morning sickness so bad missed two months of work (too which NegLigence (haha, auto correct made MetLife negligence...) is still investigating why one of the dumbass doctors at my OB practice didn't take any notes so saying despite me being on iv at home with a zofran pump... I guess throwing up 6-7x a day I could have gone to work... But that's two months I am still fighting to get paid for) finally get back to work and in the swing of things, lost 16lbs in 1st trimester and at 23wks today have only gained 5 total (thats not a biggie) only to get TB from a guy on my vanpool. Apparently of the 100+ ppl exposed, I'm the only one that tested positive. So CDC mandates xray, only for that to show negative and me be pissed they made me do it, and they give me a blood test to confirm it... Um how ass backwards is that? I'm pregnant... Shouldn't the least invasive be the first test??? I know they have protocols, but still ticked. So they have me in isolation at my house until Friday... And what does my dear hubby want me to do all week? Clean and clean out totes in garage and go through five years of crap in one week. Upside is my in laws are at bay.... Lol. Oh and I'm still trying to help my bf plan my shower... Not due til October, but to accommodate the inlaws have to have it at the end of July... And OF COURSE now that we have reserved the place and I did the invitations (with all my spare time I have had recently working 12 hours a day...) They are saying we should just do it at the end of August or early September... WTF? Ok. So that is my whole pregnancy vent.
Otherwise, baby is doing well, blood work back this week will say whether they put me on one antibiotic for the next year or three, (here is hoping one!) And baby should be unaffected by the TB. She is moving more and more! Love that part!!! Hubby got me a belly support belt and my little girl seems to not like it, I tried it on to see how it works and she was kicking up a storm!!! Oh, bc of the quarantine lock down, missed my little sisters graduation, and I am devastated about that. I had promised I would be there and I have never broken a promise to her, ever. She understood, but I still feel like a jerk. Oh, and this is going to sound weird, and I am sure it is the hormones but I have to ask if anyone else feels this way, I keep having this thought that my baby hates me. I know it sounds stupid, and I'm surrounded by a lot of negativity right now that is screwing with me, but it is really killing me on top of everything else that I can't get that thought out of my head. I am trying to do everything right, prenatals, eating healthy, light exercise and the whole checklist. I don't get why I can't stop thinking that.
Ok, I know I'm not the only one, please share your insanity... Or if you have had the perfect pregnancy... Politely brag somewhere else

@lil_buggie_3 and here I just put some chocolate chip muffins in the oven, and now all I want is a BLT!!!
@lil_buggie_3 it helps so far, the dr also said no video games 2 hours before bed and no chocolate after 12pm (hence chocolate chip muffins as a surprise). It has been tough, but he has been having some improvements. We were hoping to get him off meds, but right now he is still on them. We are hoping baby sleeps like me lol
