question?? :/

So I'm currently 21 weeks pregnant.. I don't have a docs appointment till the 30th of this month.. I've been having this severe pain in my lower back and abdominal pain and I know they are not contractions this is my second baby but  when it gets really bad my leg numbs.. I went to the hospital and no they didn't do anything!! They just checked my blood pressure which was fine and they just checked my Lil girls heartbeat which the nurse said it was fine as well.. the doc didn't even see me all she said was get bed rest and drink lots of fluids and check up with ur ob when u have an appointment with her??? Now, I haven't been sexually active for the same reason that I don't feel good.. but last night my hubby wanted it and we'll we ended up doing it.. he told me he felt me super hot down there that he felt I was burning his penis?? Is this normal??? I'm freaking out!!

Just because the babies heartbeat is fine doesn't necessarily mean that you are.  If you are that hot down there, and you feel kinda sick as well, you may have an infection.  Call your doctor, or just show up.  Or try the L&D and get checked in triage.  They should have drawn blood to check your white cell count, not just blood pressure and fetal heartbeat.  Go to the doctor, and try to breath.  Over stressing won't help either of you.  Good luck

If the hospital already checked u and the baby is not in distress then u are fine. U don't have fever.. the back pain and abdominal pain are pretty much normal in pregnancy unless they are contractions but u said they are not. I would just wait for ur appt on the 30th it's just next week. And mention it to the doc. But pretty sure they will just do the same checks the hospital did.

the pain sounds like it could b from the ligament stretching (pain around the and) n the back pain could b your uterus pressing on nerves if u feel numbness. And since you're pregnant, u have increased blood flow down there which could explain why u felt hot to your hubby. If the baby's fetal heartbeat is good, honestly baby is fine. But if u really feel u need to see the OB just call the office n tell them u need to be seen now for your symptoms. Mine was able to squeeze me in one day when I was worried about the baby being hurt (someone accidentally pushed the door open too hard that I was going to exit through n hit my belly)

Call your Ob and tell them you need a earlier date to see the doctor. Because the hospitals won't really tell you what's going on.
