I am 25 weeks pregnant and feel like my doctor turns a deaf ear to my comments and concerns. She delivered my oldest when she was born and has been my female doctor before and after that. As a gynecologist or an OB for someone without any issues or problems, she is great. But I suffer from fibromyalgia and can’t take any meds to help with that while pregnant. Since I have been pregnant I sleep anywhere from 1-4 hours a night and not all at once due to extreme pain from the fibro. I’m having severe siatic nerve pain in my lower back and can’t seem to do anything without it causing pain. I have started suffering from hot flashes and panic attacks about a month ago and I have a boss who is ticked she hired a pregnant woman without knowing it and is determined to make the last few months of my pregnancy miserable and not be remotely helpful with letting me flex my schedule a bit to allow me to sleep. The docs office tells me to talk to my family doc since things are’t “pregnancy related” but the pregnancy is making the fibro worse. The fam doc won’t do anything about it since I’m pregnant. But the OB tells me to ask them for ambien and vicoden to help with sleeping and pain. WTF?? Those are both class C narcotics! The fam doc thinks she’s nuts. It’s late in the pregnancy to search for another doctor and there aren’t many in my area not in the OB’s practice. I have my next appt Monday and really could use some advice on what to say to her to get her to understand I can’t handle the pain and no sleep and work a full time job and care for my oldest at night while husband is at work. Has anyone else gone through this? Do I ask for them to reduce my hours at work or bedrest?

Please, no rude comments or answers.
FYI – I’m still working because we are a family that needs both incomes. While I would love to be a stay at home mom, I have to have an income or we have no home or car. My husband carries the benefits but we still need my paycheck to get by and as it is, we live paycheck to paycheck. We do not have a large home or expensive cars or “toys” we just need my income to pay bills.
