Hey, everyone-
I have been MIA for the last two days. Saturday we told the rest of the family (which went well fwiw) and last night I had the sudden appearance of some symptoms of an infection that really scared me. I had a root canal about 2 1/2 weeks ago (fun!) and last night my neck glands on the same side as where my root canal was started to swell up. Within two hours they were really painful and pressing onto my throat and up into the base of my mouth. I spazzed out and called the OB on call. I didn't know what to do if it was an infection or complication from the root canal and being so early in my pregnancy. They told me to go to the ER. I had to get IV antibiotics, which really scared me. I got discharged with oral antibiotics and have to follow up with my endodontist. Everything ended up being fine, and thankfully I have no concerning symptoms pregnancy wise, but still it was an unnerving evening.
Its so nice coming back on and seeing so many new members to oct 15 and BFP announcements! I look forward to catching up and getting to know everyone.
If you're still reading, thanks for my first AW post. If I knew how to post a gif for your troubles, I would
ETA: right year. numbers are hard apparently
