Today we had the ultrascan with the high risk OB doctor. Wow things sure have changed with the baby since the first one we did, it looks like a real baby now. It was amazing, I don't even have a belly yet the baby is fully formed and moving all around. It was so great, the hear the heart beat again and it was 167 again! The ultrasound portion of the test was within normal limits so now it's just a waiting game for the blood work. The pictures were amazing! It is becoming so real! I can't wait to find out what it is in late March! My next doctor's appointment is on 02/12!
I have been really battling severe vomiting for the past three days, I can't hold anything down, and I feel horrible. I have also been experience some cramping so I made an emergency appointment with Dr. Lowe. I lost 8 pounds since our appointment just one week ago, by blood pressure was low 97/59, my heart rate was 116 and thready, I was weak, and my urine was very positive for ketones (meaning I was dehydrated) so Dr. Lowe decided to admit me to the OB unit for fluids and hyperemesis. While in the hospital I had an ultrasound just to check everything out and everything was fine, the babies heart rate was 167. The cramping was due to me being severely dehydrated. I spent one night in the hospitals and was released at 9 pm on the 23rd. I felt so much better afterwards and have been able to control by nausea and vomiting with the medications. I don't know what happened I had been doing so well. I am much better now and glad things are moving right along. The past two weeks have been pretty rough but I know things will get better.
Today was our second appointment! It was a nice one the baby's heart rate was 172 (much different than before). I didn't gain any weight which was fine and everything seemed to be moving right along. We did some routine blood work and discussed having an ultrascreen done at a high risk OB. It is an ultrasound combined with blood work to test for spinal defects, and trisomy syndromes. I elected to do it even though the risk was low just to be safe. Also due to my insulin resistance related to my PCOS I also had a glucose tolerance test, it was within normal limits which was reassuring seeing that I am pre-disposed to gestational diabetes because of the PCOS, we will repeat the test in the future to make sure I don't develop gestations diabetes later in pregnancy.
Today hasn't been a very good day! I worked five days straight can home on Monday night and came home feeling pretty crummy, I had a slight fever, and thought I was coming down with something so I spent all of Tuesday in bed, I called Dr. Lowe and she sent me to get some IV fluids and a blood/urine work-up and I ended up having a kidney infection. :( no fun when your pregnant. I felt so much better after a liter of fluids, some nausea medications, and some antibiotics. Guess working 5 in a row really takes a toll on me.
So we were in Old Navy today and they had some really cute summer maternity clothes on sale so I racked up...why not they were on sale right? So today I bought some maternity outfits! It was fun!
