Well Last Saturday i woke up felt great, had breakfast then threw up. Had dinner and threw up. Bloods ok.
About 5ish threw up again, felt very sick and low, tested 2.5. So had a little can of fanta, threw up. Bascially i was sick 6 times at least, couldnt even keep water down, bloods then 2.4. Couldnt keep anything in, was about 7.30 now so had been trying lots.
I was feeling very bad, like not in my head all the time, hate hypos like this but even gloucse tabs wouldnt stay down. I wanted to go to sleep, not a good idea.
Husband getting very worried.
Called labour ward and explained, they said call 999 so we did.
Bloods 3 something in the ambulnace, was sick twice onh the way i think.
In a&e still being sick, but was just green bile, started with the runs at the same time.
Belly started to hurt quite a bit due to being sick so much. Very worried about baby, but she was still moving around.
They took lots of blood, and finally put me on a drip of glucose.
Took me up to a ward, not maternity as they werent worried about the baby. Just me.
Where testing my blood every hour for me while i tired to sleep, and between running to the loo.
Must have been sick/had runs 15 times that night. I thought it would never end.
They put me on anti sickness injection, which helped so much. Sunday the sickness stopped and so did the runs. Felt pretty bad, very sick, and head killing.
One of the blood tests came back as me not having enough oxygen in my blood, so they thought i could have a colt on my lung. They wanted me to have a scan on my lungs. I had no pains at all, but hey they know the score.
Midwife came to see me Sundry to check on baby. She was amazed by how much she moves. Shes a very active baby, but the midwife said its a good thing, nothing to be worried about.
I have a lot of tightening which i dont always feel. They where worried about this and wanted to keep an eye on me.
Had the lung scan on Monday, had to wait till Tuesday for the result. Seen midwife again all ok. Felt lots better.
Tuesday they sent me down to the anti-natal team be monitored again, same thing lots of movements and tightenings, baby not moving as much because she doesnt when she cant hear her daddy. They did an internal examination aswell, im sure they thought i was in labour. I think id know. But never mind.
All ok. Got lung scan results very late all fine.
Told i could go home Wed, had my growth scan and appointment with team so went to that first.
Scan really good, shes huge now. Heads the right size it should be but her belly is a little big (said its a diabetic thing) Still extra fluid, its slown down a little but but not enough to make a change. Scan woman kept saying shes a 'good' sized baby.
She has lots of hair on her head, and we got a lovely pic of her face in profile.
They are going to induce me at 37 weeks, so thats Jan 24th-ish. Said for me to finish work the week before.
Next scan 22nd cant wait.
Its been a hellish week, i am so tired. They kept me in for 4 days for a 24 hour bug, that while i have been in most of my family has had. Only issue was getting my blood sugars up. Better to be safe than sorry i suppose.
Nothing wrong with my lung havent even said what that was.
Cant wait to go back to work tomorrow, just want a normal day. xxxx
