That means you had a good day! I remember those days...it is all about acid I think, because the more I controlled that the easier it was. Do you chew on tums or anything?

 

[SLCMommy]

Yeah, I take tums. Even if I don't vomit I feel like I have the flu bug lol. How long did MS last for you? I'm praying only 6 more weeks of this and than it's done lol

 

[shradha]

Shradha, are you online tonight? How are you feeling? Have you been able to rest yet, I hope you are finding some foods that you are able to eat It is always hard for the first few weeks, but this part (ms) will be over before you know it!

How is your day going today? One more thing I vomit whenever I brush my teeth..do you have this problem?

 

[lauraemily17]

All this sickness talk is reminds me of about 9 months ago!! As unpleasant as it is, it indicates great hormones!!

Coy - did you kick your team mates into gear or have you yet again done the hard work? At least they're getting marked separately now, its not fair them getting credit for your hard work.

Afm - properly poorly sick now my temp has been 38.6 (101.4) all night & I've also had terrible shoulder & neck pain since yesterday afternoon, can barely move in bed, reminds me of the SPD I had so wondering if it's a trapped nerve. Gotta say I'm a little worried I've picked up a nasty hospital bug, been unable to sleep since Xanders last feed at 3.30. Got an hour & 5 mins to wait until my Drs opens & hopefully I'll be able to get an appointment straight away. Hate feeling this poorly

 

[Grey Eyes]

Ashley & Shradha- my MS started at 6 weeks and ended about 10 weeks...so only about 4-5 weeks total, so not bad! It will pass

Shradha- re: brushing your teeth and vomiting...I was actually jus htinking about giving you this bit of advice just in case, I was surprised to see it in your post! Anyway, yes- totally normal. Here's the deal with ms ... most of it is brought on by an increase in your stomache acid- a byproduct of pregnancy hormones. I hate to type this as it will prob make you sick to read it but saliva neutralizes your acid. So I know you have prob had an abundance of saliva and that combined with your toothpaste can make you gag and get sick. I read that you should swallow the saliva and not spit it out- gross, but it does help. Also- I absoluely stopped using toothpaste for about 4 weeks! If you can switch to Baking Soda. Just wet your brush and dip it in Baking Soda and scrub with that. Also after I brushed with soda I would rinse my mouth and gargle with salt water, helps remove the excess mucus. Also- I know you don't want to eat but at lest eat bread or crackers little bits very often. Bread and crackers absorb stomache acid and keep you from vomiting from it.

Laura- I hope you get in today, I am worried because of the stiff neck, etc, and high fever. My dh did this once and had spinal meningitas- his doc didn't know for sure but put him on super doses of anitbiotic and saved his life. I am hoping yours is not so serious, but def check it out--just get pushy and mean iwth the hospital, they can't refuse to see you. As Shrahda stated, your body has been under a great deal and you are doing so much with nursing and caring for Xander- you need to get and stay healthy for your sake!


AFM- yep, got our assignment finished and actually surprised myself and almost done with my individual asignments due tomorrow. So just a few more words and I can post- yay, so I get tomorrow and Tuesday off from school I did get a call from my academic counselor and was told that I was the only student they've had to continue with no interruptions and maintain such an excellent record Made me feel happy, lol Not sure if I'll take a break at babes birth or not- it depends where in class I am at

 

[Grey Eyes]

Oh I forgot to mention...when I take my walks now I am not sureif I am getting lower tummy cramps (from extertion?) or if babes is standing up and stretching in there lol...Feels like a great inner pressure low down under my belly like from above hip bone to hip bone I am thinking it is a combination of muscles tightening and her moving. Anyway it is uncomfortable as all get out and make me feel like waddling Some pregnant athlete I make! waddle waddle waddle

Oh my god dear .....you are still having fever.... So sad Laura....... I hope you get well soon...... Must be feeing really bad...

 

[shradha]

Thanx Coy for the remedy.....will try it tomorrow....what did you have for dinner? Feel like having a chocolate cake but I want to reduce by fasting blood sugar from 90 to 80.....

No, I don't have that YET. I feel like when I brush my teeth it makes me feel better to get the morning breath out of my mouth but it could happen...

 

[shradha]

Ashley you are lucky....everyday morning I have to go through it.... I find it extremely difficult.......good you have escaped......

 

[lauraemily17]

I'll Definitely get in today, 7am on a Monday morning is the only time you can be sure to actually see my Dr!! He's a hard man to see but really really good. I only found out in hospital why though as he was one if the nurses Drs as well, he spends a lot of time working at the hospital so isn't at our local surgery much. Explains why he knows so much. Just gotta hope he's not on holiday!

I did think about meningitis Coy but I was vaccinated against the 2 common strains as a teenager. It'd be pretty unlucky to have picked up the rare one, I'd have thought of feel worse as well? I can't find a rash anywhere. I've been googling & it could simply be a very bad uti which may have spread to the kidneys, not that I have any specific symptoms of those either!

 

[SLCMommy]

Laura, I hope you feel better. xx

 

[lauraemily17]

Thanks Ashley. Unfortunately I'm back in hospital

Typically couldn't get in to a Dr until 9,40 & by 8.30 I was in agony so I called our nhs direct service who give medical advice. Well they called a paramedic who arrived in about 5 mins (3 of them) who took me to hospital!

Had tests done & I'm high risk of having a pulmonary embolism!! My bloods have shown there may be one but they also think it may just be an infection. Because I'm post partum & had surgery to remove the placenta they are giving me a scan to be certain there isn't one so I'm now on my way to another hospital in Leices who can do the specialist scan. I can't have the usual one as there's a risk of breast cancer with me being post partum!!

I'm not entirely sure I'll be having any more babies at this rate, don't think my body can handle it!!

 

[SpudsMama]

Oh my God Laura, I hope this other hospital can sort you out! I hope you feel better soon xx

 

[Grey Eyes]

Laura- I am so glad you wernt in to get checked! Hope you get good news and heal quickly! Pulmonary Embolism is nothing to sneeze at, neither is the infection: take care of yourself, glad you have an awesome dh to look after you and Xander

 

[lauraemily17]

Thanks ladies. Got to stay in over night as they can't do the scan until tomorrow & want to monitor me. They would usually do a ct scan but I've got to have a vq scan instead where they inject a radioactive solution into my blood, lovely!! Means I'm going to have to pump & dump at least 12 hours of milk as the solution will go into the milk. Not ideal but gotta be done & I'd rather have the scan for reassurance. Apparently only about 25% of cases like mine actually have a clot do hopefully I'll be ok. They've sorted out a cot so Xander can stay with me as well, was worried he wouldn't be able to as there's not a maternity unit here.
