I Was Back At The Hospital ‼️ [ Important Update ] ‼️

So yesterday I went in for a routine appointment with my OBGYN doctor in the afternoon. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as antoricpated.

The doctor went over all the things I’ve been experiencing lately. The worsening stomach issues, painful regular contractions, intense swelling, headaches, sleep problems, etc. Some of which concerned him. Then when his nurse took my blood pressure it was 160/110 which is high for someone my age and size. Between that and a concern he had after checking things down below he made the call I needed to go to his affiliated hospital right away for further testing and evaluation.

Went in and was hooked up to a bunch of monitors and an IV. They took a lot of blood and other samples for testing. An ultrasound was done and fortunately baby is moving around and looking good. The blood pressure readings they got while on the higher side of normal didn’t spike nearly as high as it did at the office. Both good things. However they were picking up real contractions on the monitor and found some things in my blood and urine that raised a bit of alarm. I also tested positive for a test that indicates I could possibly go into actual labor sometime in the next 2 weeks, which would still be early (it’s not a guarantee but a possibility).

After several hours of testing I got sent home with a test I need to do myself over the weekend and bring the stuff to my doctor on Monday. I also need to monitor and keep track of my blood pressure readings. They offered to admit me to do the test themselves overnight but I opted for the home version as my older kid is a very anxious child and I didn’t want her to be stressed so soon after starting a new school (her first day was yesterday too). So I get to play doctor on myself this weekend. Yay. I was told if my contractions get unbearable, my water breaks, or there’s bleeding, I need to return to the hospital right away as well.

Husbando has to report to base today for the weekend for drill. Fortunately my mother in law volunteered to take my two year old to her house and look after her until Monday to make things easier to manage for me. As my older kid is a lot more self sufficient and I can focus on my test and monitoring better. My mom has a minor surgery today but she will be down for the count all weekend and my Pops needs to be available in case she needs him for something so they’re not in a position to help me or help with the kids which is fine. So until evenings when D gets home from base it’s just going to be me and the older kiddo all weekend. I just hope the weather is decent so she can spend much of the time outside playing with friends and not cooped up bored and lonely.

Needless to say, with everything going on right now audio content and streaming aren’t the forefront of my concerns. The hospital and my doctor want me to rest with my feet up as much as possible (to help with the bad swelling and the contractions). I got put on some meds to help with my stomach issues but they have side effects that make it hard to focus on much let alone be awake for long stretches (yay drowsy side effects). As I mentioned previously to mitigate any possible delivery issues my psych doctor also majorly lowered the doses on most of my mental health meds as well which only adds to the inability to hold focus and maintain high energy. Now with the possibility that baby might be coming in two weeks (before it’s even February) we’re starting to scramble to make sure we have what we need in time for the new arrival as well.

I’m a bit bummed because not only is it now even harder to do the work I love and I now have some added anxieties over my health and baby, but D and I were invited over a month ago to my good friend’s birthday event Saturday night. This person was my rock during some of the hardest moments of my young adult life and I made it a point to attend his birthday for close to a decade. He chose to not host anything during the pandemic years but brought it back for this year. His events are a lot of fun too as he’s a theatre guy and there’s other friends of ours who attend I haven’t seen in a long while either. With what all is going on I may have to call and tell him I won’t be able to make it and see if a friend can bring the gift I got him. He actually has only met D in passing and was looking forward to being properly introduced too. So yeah this is just a bummer to pile on top of everything else alas.

Things are hectic and stressful and I’m admittedly feeling a little overwhelmed. I ask that you be considerate of my situation and not bother me about content, even if you have arranged for something custom. I will reach out to you and as usual I will post detailed updates on here as I’m able to. Also I’m around on Twitter (@KittiMinxASMR) and the Patron Discord Server fairly often. If you really need me please email me at KittiMinx@cosplaycourtesan.com as DMs aren’t always the most reliable. I’m sorry for any disappointment or annoyance but at this time I do not need any added stresses. Hope you understand.

Thank you so much for the love and support. It honestly means a great deal to me. Your continued patience is also deeply appreciated. Please be safe, practice good self care, know I love y’all, and as always - stay awesome~! ❤️❤️❤️✨
