Hi everyone,
I have been on here alot with my HA and fear of bowel cancer but since becoming pregnant in August 2013, was doing a bit better. Unfortunately I found out at my 20 week scan that my baby was very ill (severe spina bifida) and unlikely to survive birth so we were advised to terminate.
Since then, maybe understandably, I haven't felt great, even though I've been checked out and medically look fine (blood tests taken etc). I've had lower back pain since the termination and have excess wind (burping) with some acid indigestion and pain under my left rib (not constant but there in some way every day). There's nothing else worrying, no blood in my stools etc but obviously I am still concerned. My husband thinks that the strain of the past couple of months (my son was in hospital in December, we moved house just after the termination) is taking it's toll and I am wondering if I am being affected by the high dose of folic acid and prenatal vitamins I am now on?
I'm not sure what I think is wrong with me but obviously anything abdominal worries me. I'm so fed up and sad and just don't want this HA on top of everything else. I am having CBT and my husband and I have been doing really well with the situation but maybe there's underlying stress that's affecting me?
Any opinions would be really welcome.
thanks everyone x
