I had my follow up appointment with the specialist group last Wednesday December 7.
I thought it was good that the episodes were not increasing in frequency. But they were not satisfied that they were not going away. They made some more recommendations to help decrease the frequency and severity of the episodes. And they suggested that I go off work until baby comes.
It was actually a pretty tough decision to decide wether or not to return to work. Stricken with guilt that I would be letting my fellow co-workers down. And determined that I would not be a wuss and could just tough through the discomfort as I had been for the past few months. But eventually I came to the conclusion that the length of the episodes were in fact decreased if I could rest. I kept thinking of the work scenario: "Mrs. Smith I'm really sorry that you're in pain and bleeding, but I'm having chest pain and need to lay down". It just didn't seem very realistic. The alternative being - toughing through them - which might not be the best thing for this baby and me.
So now I am on medical leave from work until this baby comes - and then my full time job begins. :-)
