i am still having issues in the shower but i haven't passed out totally again...just get very weak and black out. it's getting very frustrating

Yeah I saw that, I was hoping for an answer like they said it was caused by x and all I have to do is y. I'm sure you would have liked that too.

yep yep...that would have been GREAT

to make things worse...I just found out that the monitor they have me on is pointless right now. you have to call in the recordings and apparently, you can't do that from a cell phone, only a landline. i don't have a land line phone. sooo....i need to get in touch with the dr. and figure out what they need me to do. this is such a pain!!!

Sorry to totally hijack this thread, but why do you have a picture of my man as your avatar?

And Mandee, you and your little bun will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers!

Well, have him get in there with you..I know when I cut my finger off at work a few years ago, I couldn't get my finger wet for awhile, so hubby would get in the shower with me and wash me up..he's done all kinds of things for me over the years..when I had a tummy tuck, he had to set his alarm to wake up and change out my nasty tubes, sure wish there were more men out there like your hubby and mine... You sure they're not brothers??

Oh, no. Do you know any of your neighbors? Maybe you could use their phone? or (ick) a payphone? Poor girl, keep us posted!

I am sending the monitor back and they are going to give me something else. I dread this...but I guess it needs to be done sounds like I might have stuff strapped to my chest for a while. I am envisioning a bullet-proof vest LOL

I don't want to go all the way through this post..how far along are you?? How about instead of a shower, just take a bath until after the baby is born..as far as hair washing, just wash it over the sink..I used to get dizzy when I was pg. but, only when I would lay on my back, I had back labor with all 3 kids..high blood pressure will make you dizzy also..just take care of yourself and that little one..

I am now 13 weeks along. I am afraid to take a bath cuz I am chlostropjobic and baths tend to set it off. BUT since the showers are just not agreeing with me, I think I will try a bath and see how it goes

Lol. Oh my, I hope it won't be quite that bad

Pregnancy can just be so hard on your body.
Sending good thoughts to you that everything will be well.

Mandee, I'm just somehow now seeing this thread. I am so sorry you are going thru this. I had the same problem when I was pregnant. But I don't have any problems with baths.

Let me tell you, the fear of a bath tub shouldn't be as bad as fearing passing out & hitting your head in the shower. So glad your hubby will sit with you while you are in the shower. As far as the tub, goes, will your fear of closed in spaces lessen if you leave the door to the bath open?

Take care girl!

i always leave the door open...but my bath is a garden tub that is enclosed..sorta. there isn't even a light above it. i light candles cuz it gets pretty dark in there.

but i am going to try a bath today and see how that goes.
