doc appt and the incident
so my mom picked me up yesterday morning. i ate some cereal and a donut she brought me before we went and though i was feeling hot on the way, i was fine. we got to the waiting room and chatted for a bit bc they were behind (due to a power outage.) dennis showed up and not long after, i started getting too hot. i put my hair up. then i started sweating. i couldn’t pay attention to what mom was saying anymore. i was about to ask dennis if he had a drink in the car when i started REALLY sweating, got really pale and felt like i might throw up. and i was yawning a lot too. odd. i thought i was going to faint so mom got the nurse and she brought me damp paper towels and a bottle of water. all i could feel was ppl staring at me! ugh. old ppl are so nosey. anyway, the nurse took me to a room and pricked my finger to see how my blood sugar was (fine) and i started to feel better after i drank the water.
so it looks like i was dehydrated.
i’m measuring about 25-26 weeks so that’s good. i’m about 25 weeks now so not measuring terribly ahead like usual. weight up 24 pounds since she started weighing me. baby no-name’s heartbeat was at 160. ultrasound report 2 fine. blood pressure on the verge of low but fine for a pregnant woman,she said. she ordered the 1 hour (yay!!! my stupid OB ordered the 3 hour last time so i’m glad my family doc is doing it this time) GD test. i hate that frickin test and fainted when they made me do the 3 hour.
i’m still thirsty today. ugh. i was really tired yesterday after my incident. blah. i improved when mom and i went for lunch. i drank the water bottle at the doc’s office and then a bottle of apple juice in the car and more water at the restaurant. ate something and had a lot of improvement. *phew*
bought some cute things for baby and a lot of books for the boys (sawyer needed more big boy books apparently) bc they were on for 10 cents at the thrift store. got dennis some shorts and a tank top for me. mom got a couple things too. then we headed off to pick up the boys at school.
so not a great day 🙁 but at least ultrasound 2 came back good 🙂 nothing abnormal. all is well.
24 weeks. the trainer at the club really liked this pic 🙂 enough to compliment me on it. i rarely get compliments so that’s exciting stuff for me LOL

How scary! I almost passed out during a NST with Sariah but the dr was very observant and got me repositioned. Glad you feel better though and that things are good.

Scary stuff…! Glad you had someone with you though to help you through the incident (I had low blood pressure during pregnancy too). Nice choice in top btw! Is that a regular of nursing bra? It looks pretty cool 🙂

Ugh I’ve had that overheated/dehydrated feeling before and it is NOT fun, can’t even imagine it pregnant, must be a million times worse. It is a very good pic! RYN: Silly gay people choosing to make their lives difficult, who wouldn’t want to do that, right?

oh man, i’m glad you are okay. you should be drinking lots of water… i’m not sure about pregnant people, but i know when you’re working out you need to drink a ridiculous amount, so i’m pretty sure preggos should too lol. hope your thirstyness goes away ryn: its not so bad during the day, just at night. hahah
