more of the sickness.

 I went to the OB of my choice yesterday and she told me to take vitamins. I felt defeated. Really? After 2 pregnancies with hyperemesis you are going to tell me to take vitamins? 

She is new but I don’t think she gets it. HG is a real illness, it is life threatening to not only me but the baby. It needs to be treated agressivly, not passively. 

Last night i was so weak I could barely stay concious, in fact I was in and out of it. I was taken to the er where they gave me fluids. 

I was severely dehydrated, and felt simply horrible. Althgouh I was bearly concious they gave me a room with no bed? Just a table.

I got iv fluids and zofran, and then they gave me reglan and I felt creepy crawlies all over my body and asked to leave right away. It was horrific. I got home, nursed Sabastian finally and fell asleep.

It felt wonderful to be in my own bed. 

I called the OB I had when I was pregnant with Sabastian and he will see me tomorrow. Do an ultrasound to date the pregnancy and make sure that little one is still fluttering and alive in there, and then I get my picc line! 

He won’t make me suffer, he knows I get sick, and knows it is serious. I am excited. Not that I need a picc line but because I know it means relief and quiet possibly my life can go back to what I call "normal while pregnant".

I need to feel better school starts in a month, and my friend is having a baby and I really want to be there for her. 

Most of all I have 2 kids who need me. I have to feel well enough to get out of bed.

I hope when we finally are pregnant that I find an OB I can have that kind of relationship with. So glad yall were able to figure out the whole, “Just do a picc line, it’s what works for her” thing down with Sabastian so that you would not have to suffer long in this pregnancy. I don’t remember if you’ve said, (and i wasn’t reading you then) but was your pregnancy with Samara like that too?<3

I’m glad you’ve got someone to listen and get you what you need.

I really hope that things get under control quickly. Can’t wait to hear about the appointment and to get an update on the new little squid!

Glad he doesn’t want to make you wait on the PICC line. Hopefully this means you can function a little more normally.

Sounds like this OB is the one to stick with….and I’ll be praying those fluids bring relief soon. Pretty scary to think the other doctor didn’t snap to it on this.. :/

I hope that you are able to get some relief with the picc line. It has to be hard to be a Mommy and be so sick. 🙁
