Melissa,
I'm not a doctor, but based on what you have said, I'd say that it
sounds like you could have an etopic pregnancy. If you could go home
sooner, and feel more comfortable getting care in Australia, I would do
so and get checked out. IF it is an etopic pregnancy, you would want to
get it taken care of before it ruptures.
Again, that is just a guess...hopefully the doctors here can set me
right if I'm wrong.
Carolyn
