Macrobid = Nightmare

I need to know if anyone else had this ?!

I’m currently on Macrobid 100mg twice daily and I'm 31 weeks pregnant . I had a very small amount bacteria in my urine that typically they wouldn’t treat but as a precaution they put me on it.

so I have taken this a long time ago and do not recall these horrible side effects .

I took four doses and finally made the connection. I have bad nausea, racing heart and intense on edge anxiety. I literally thought I needed to go the ER earlier .

Anyone else have this experience?

PREECLAMPSIA.

I’m 24 weeks . My last child passed away to SIDS and I have severe Pre E with him, delivered at 35 weeks, symptoms started at 32.

So basically what I’m dealing with right now is that my BP and HR is very high at the Doctors office so they are obviously freaking out . However, medical settings are my number 1 trigger and almost always cause me a panic attack. I have tried to communicate this to them but they don’t listen.

I have a lot of over 90 BP that I have taken at home and all are very low. My blood pressure this morning for example was 110/68 HR 84.

At the Drs I usually get up to 140/90 with heart rate in the 140’s. For me that’s a panic attack, I visibly shake and feel like I’m loosing control.

All my labs are completely normal besides being anemic , my hemoglobin is 10.1.

I take Lovenox twice a day bc I developed a blood clot at 11 weeks pregnant . I have POTS so my body doesn’t know what it’s doing half the time.

Im just concerned that despite me having normal blood pressures other than when I’m in a medical setting , that they are going to make me have this baby way too early. All my labs are good , 24 hour urine was fine.

They have mentioned 28 weeks and I’m like I don’t think so.

please someone share experience bc my anxiety is literally on a thread .

Lovenox

I’m 24 weeks and on Lovenox twice a day.

I am also anemic I’m at a 10.1 right now and just starting to have some breathlessness going up the stairs and my hr is a bit high on minimal exertion. I am unable to keep iron down, it makes me violently sick.

I am deeply terrified that my iron is going to keep dropping and then with being on Lovenox already, I’m going to bleed out or something when I have this baby. I truly freaking out .

Crazy high HR and BP only at the DR.

I seriously do not know what to do.

I have over 80 Blood pressures that I have written down from home. I take it twice a day and it is NEVER over 125/78 . My most common BP is 117/76.

I am anemic and have POTS so my HR fluctuates but my avg HR is 70’s-80’s.

Anytime I got to the DR. my HR goes through the roof and BP too.

Yesterday I was panicking and my BP at Dr was 140’s/90’s and HR of 139. I communicate with them that I am having a panic attack and they take it again and it was 150/84.

I lost my last baby to SIDS in July so this pregnancy is beyond triggering. They tried to send me to the hospital and I said no. They drew blood and all my labs are normal and negative for Pre eclampsia of HELLP. As soon as I got home , I sat down and took my BP and it was 111/76 HR 89. I have tried to show them my log , I write every single one down and it’s like they don’t believe me.

idk how to get through appointments, especially bc they want me to now see MFM, Cardiologist.

im 23 weeks .
