Hello

I found out I ws pregnant yesterday and I think I have developed an ear infection overnight. I am currently in so much pain.

My doctors office opens in 8 minutes so I'm waiting to make an appointment but I'm scared becuase I dont think I'll be able to take any medication for this but I'm in agony. Ah I just want to cry.

Yuck I feel like all the symptoms etc have hit me at once, this isn't much fun Sad

your doctor will be able to prescribe you the right meds for you while you are pregnant so dont worry you wont be left in pain! Smile
The main thing with meds in pregnancy is that you dont try and diagnose yourself or get yourself meds. Always consult your doctor and you'll be fine. Smile
