My pregnancy is COMPLETELY different second time round!
My First Pregnancy was a dream compared to this one lol.
On Wednesday I popped to the GP as my sickness had been getting progressively worse over a 2 week period to the point I was throwing up 15+ times a day and not being able to look after my 13 month old, & running out of tesco after walking down the fruit & veg aisle (the first aisle ) I didn't even make it half way through my shop without having to run out & be sick in the middle of the car park ( so embarrassing )
She done a urine test and sent me straight to a&e as I had 4+ ketones (severe dehydration). I was admitted and out on a drip for the duration of my stay & given anti sickness meds. They have diagnosed me with Hyperemesis gravidarum. I was given a scan incase if molar or multiple pregnancy...just the one baby in there with a whopping heart rate of 178bpm!! Measured 7wks 6days yesterday. I was discharged yesterday evening as there was no change in my ketones but with the tablets I'm finally able to keep food & drink down
They offered to write me a sick note as I'm not well enough to work, but as I've just started a new job (4weeks ago) I turned it down as I'm not entitled to sick pay so I have to go in. This morning I woke up feeling like ild been hit by a bus/nauseous., so I called in sick grr. Really have to go in on Monday as I can't afford not to, but I know I won't be feeling up to it..!
The meds have helped me to stop being physically sick (so far), but I feel like I've been at a wild party and havnt slept in a year & really nauseous.
I can't help but feel this pregnancy is going to be one long adventure & I have a feeling everyday is going to be a bad day until I meet my beauty.
Sorry for the essay lol.
