In the Hospital!

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.
