Those TTC for awhile.

[sarahuk]

Im sure it will be all clear Tina!

I just got discharged from hospital. Not been a fun few days. I ended up dehydrated and my urine sample was showing very high keytones in my urine. So ended up bwing admitted to the hospital who did bloods and more urine samples and turns out I am suffering from Hyperemesis gravidarum, which has caused dehydration and also for my kidneys to reduce urine output despite IV fluids. They think its because my body is in store mode because it has been deprived of food and drink for so long.

They wanted me to stay in but we agreed on a medication regime for me to try at home, and if im still unwell or vomit once more I am being readmitted. As long as i can eat and drink my keytones should reduce and my kidneys go back to normal function. Im sure it will be ok because they have me now on 4 different anti sickness pills all at the same time. But they did warn that I could continue with this condition multiple times through pregnancy so it has to be monitored as i could end up with a low birth weight baby.

Im hoping it wont come to that. Am forcing liquid into myself as much as possible and im sure with all these pills ill be able to eat -something- at least! Very dissapointed with the NHS though. I had all these bloods and urine tests done yesterday, and they said they were clear apparently at the maternity hospital. They told me today they dont believe that could be the case as this doesnt come on so suddenly.

Hope all is well xx

Oh my Sarah! You weren't kidding, you really have been very sick!!!! I never even thought ms could do that to you. Hope the pills work and you get better soon. That must be scary. Glad you are being monitored for it now. At least now the drs will keep on top of it.

 

[sarahuk]

I know I didnt know either!! Ive just been battling on thinking all was normal lol!

Still feeling very sick but I can deal with that, its the vomiting thats the problem. Hopefully I can keep something down! xxx

Sarah you poor love get lots of rest, drink plenty of fluids, take yr meds and get matt to attend to your every need! What a terrible time for you! I'm hoping you won't have to be re-atmitted again to hospital. Glad yr a bit better and baby snookie is fine! Praying u feel better soon. XxxX

 

[sarahuk]

Thank you so much hun!

Matt is taking good care Im struggling so bad with getting any liquid into me still tho...water is not my best friend and so I think I need to hunt out an alternative!

Im thinking it must be a boy with all the problems lol Little troublemakers! xx

 

[rooster100]

It has to be a boy! Only boys would give so much grief to a woman!
I am in bed at the mo, had pain all morning in my pubic bone! It really hurts! Im hoping its stretching pains?!
Good luck with the scan Moter, glad yr not affected with that terrible storm! X

 

[moter98]

I think it's a girl Sarah. Extreme ms is more associated with girls than boys! I don't the exact numbers or anything, but it just happens more often with girls than boys. Have you tried apple juice? When I can't keep anything down, apple juice works for me. Apple juice and toast.

So tired this morning. Ds has figured out how to get out of bed and open the door in his shoes now. Here I was thinking I was so lucky that he wouldn't be able to be mobile because of the shoes. HA! He's figured it out despite them. He got out of bed 4 times last night before falling asleep, then he was banging his shoes on the bed all night. Then he got up super early!

Oh my goodness Sarah. Make sure you rest up!

xx

 

[moter98]

Cervix measures good and no funneling. Then the tech looked at it so long makes me think something else is wrong! Just waiting to see the dr. Hoping to wait an hour or less.

 

[rooster100]

That's great Moter, keep us updated x

 

[moter98]

All is well. Off bedrest, just take it easy. Can workout again and lift weights! Dh is gonna be so happy no more bedrest lol

 

[rooster100]

I bet DH is happy Moter! I just was in the hospital as the cramps were terrible...baby beak is fine measuring 16+1! They feel I'm going to have a growth spert and that may be the reason for the cramping, also the busy two days I have had at work didn't help! X

 

[moter98]

Yep dh is a happy man now! I did have one pink spot of blood afterwards. Not gonna freak out just yet. Could be pretty normal considering its been 10 weeks

 

[moter98]

Rooster the cramps could be from baby pressing on organs too!

 

[sarahuk]

Tina that is SUCH good news!!! I am so very happy for you! xx

 

[moter98]

Thanks Sarah!

I'm suffering from hemmorroids and its awful! I had them chronically for years and cured them in 5 days with ground flaxseed. I'm still taking the flaxseed, but I think it's just the weight of baby causing them. Gonna be a LONG rest of pregnancy if they hang around.

 

[sarahuk]

Oh no! Ive never had them but my mum had them with me and she said they were the devil I can imagine that its reallllly uncomfortable

I forgot to ask..did you get a pic at the scan? x

 

[Faythe]

witch hazel is your friend for those, Tina.

I had them bad too and even worse after I delivered Jacob

 

[moter98]

i've tried everything. i had them for 5 years, and they were really bad when i was pregnant with aden. and EXTREMELY bad after his birth. you should have seen the nurses face when she checked me after the birth, lol! she looked so shocked. she goes, wow, you have some big hemorriods. LOL! really?! i hadn't noticed all these months haha!
i've tried witch hazel, high fiber diet 40+ grams, creams, cooling gel, suppositories, the tucks pads, drink lots of water,warm baths, ice, every product out there and the only thing i found worked when i wasn't pregnant was 2 tbsp a day of flaxseed. only i think it doesn't work now because its being caused by the weight of the baby. i'm hoping and praying the pressure will let up some between now and the birth. i've still got 3 1/2 months to go!!!

sarah, yes, i got 2 pics, but no cd to post them here

 

[sarahuk]

Awwwww noooo I wanna see!!

Bloody hell that sounds awful Tina I hope to god I never get those. It must hurt to sit! xx
