Pregnant and unknown pain

Hi

I'm feeling so deflated and stressed at the moment.

2 years ago I was diagnosed with fatty liver disease. 2 months ago the pain around the liver area got really bad, I tried for 2 weeks to get into my GP. They are so busy and it's really hard to get an appointment.

When I finally saw the doctor she said she thinks it's nerve pain. She sent me for blood tests which took another 5 weeks to see results as they are so busy. Meanwhile my mind is going crazy thinking my liver disease has progressed to something more serious.

Finally, I got an appointment for this coming Thursday to see the results. They also booked me in to have an ultrasound on my liver on Wednesday.

Whilst I've been waiting, one night the pain was so unbearable I went to A&e. They said they aren't sure what it is but assumed it was a kidney infection and gave me antibiotics. They said if that doesn't work (it hasn't) to see my doctor again. Which is impossible because I can't get an appointment!! 😔

Then 3 weeks ago... I found out I'm pregnant, which was a complete shock. I explained the situation to the midwife to see if she could speed things along and find out what's wrong with me to put me out of my stress and she said "don't worry the doctors will look after you ".

I just feel like no one gives a s... about me or the baby. For 3 weeks I've been worrying and thinking of all sorts of situations. Mainly that I'm not going to be able to have the baby. I don't want to get too attached to it because I keep thinking the worst might happen.

I feel so let down by the Gp practice, a&e and my midwife. I feel so lonely and anxious. I don't know what to do except for wait and worry. The pain is so awful.
