GGRRRRRRRRR MY KETONES LAST NIGHT WERE THE DARKEST COLOUR ON THE BOTTLE THIS MORNING THE SECOND and i hope that the baby is ok😡😡 ps i am not diabetic so normal people can have ketones as well
 
Sorry to hear you're not well.

I was similar a few weeks back. I was throwing up alot. Most of it bile. And after I was sick at 4am I thought that enough was enough so I rang the NHS direct who got a nurse to ring me who then got an GP to ring me who then told me to go to A&E. I was in there, had +3 ketones and was moved to an ACU ward where I was sick again as soon as I arrived in the early hours. I then tried lunch which stayed down UNTIL I was ready to go home then it made an appearance. I then had dinner which thankfully stayed down and I felt so much better afterwards.

I had my consultant some to see me, diabetic nurses and general doctors as well as having a mini scan done on baby to make sure he/she is OK and thankfully he/she is.

I was put onto a drip and just felt rough :(

Really hope this clears up for you soon and for baby's sake x
 
thanks you make me feel a bit better about the baby
 
Hope you feel better soon - try to drink lots of water to help flush out the bug.🙂Bev
 
Most things wont even touch the baby. They dont sound helpful at all.
How far are you now?
Hope your ok? xx
 
Crumbs Daniela, Laura, hope you both feel better soon! Whilst ketones aren't great, I had crazy sugar levels in the early days with baby number 2 despite every effort for good control, my body just went haywire, but she was fine. Hope you both are feeling good soon & stay well for the rest of pregnancy. 🙂Take care of yourselves,

Twitchy xx
 
Sounds horrible. DIdn't know non-starving non-diabetics got ketones. Your must feel awful... hope it sorts out soon.

Think if you dont feel so good soonish you should pitch up at A/E - have you tested your blood glucose on your wee boys monitor - might be an idea you can have some sugar in pregnancy without actually being diabetic it's worth checking out
