First I got paniced on Monday when we had the call from the Dr to see the genectic counselor, then the Tues appt went pretty good, Steve has a problem; but, the baby is checking out fine. IDK if it was the stress or what, but I've been having cramping every day for almost 2 weeks. I lay on my left side, power down water, and they go away. I say the NP last Thurs, and she said that's what to and to go to Labor and Delivery if they don't stop.
Wed morn I woke up with cramps that wouldn't stop. I called my OB 2x to try and see someone that afternoon, but the NP's are on "Spring Break". Seriously. That's what they said. Who the heck gives their office the week off??? The Dr would be in sometime in the afternoon, but they didn't know when. There was one Nurse answering calls, but I had to wait 'til she got to me. She called back and said they could call me when the Dr got in, but they didn't know when that would be. Said I could lay down and drink water. I said it'd been more than 4 hours and it hadn't worked. Decided to go to the hospital. She said they'd prolly just do an U/S and the triage and I'd be right out.
Of course no L&D triage, so I had to go up and wait in a chair in the hallway. After about 20 mins I started to not feel very well, all tingly and was going to get up and tell the Nurse, but I didn't think my legs would work. Someone walked by and I told them I wasn't feeling very well. Then I woke up with like 6, 8 IDK, nurses around me and they said I passed out. They laid me down in the chairs and got a gurney. While I was being wheeled to a room, I passed out again, so they called rapid responce.
The baby is fine. They kept me there for 8+ hours on the monitors. They don't know what happened. I was having contractions that hurt while whey were hooking meup and stuff. IDK if it was stress, fear??? Dr never made it, but I saw him yesterday, Thurs.
The Dr said everythng looked fine and wants me to rest often, drink lots of water, relax... and will do another U/S next Thurs.
Today Andrew had a friends' birthday party to go to at the park, and Steve had to work. I took him, but am so tired after doing, like, nothing. We then had to go to the store to get stuff to make a veggie plate for Andrew to take to a friends Easter party tonight. I was/am so freaking tired and stressed and just wanna cry. I had to call Steve to get him to come home and take him. Andrew tried to talk me into going and just laying down in the car... He's kind of freaked out about Wed still. They wouldn't let him stay when I first got there, so he wasn't there for the passing out. They called Steve and told him it didn't matter if he brought Andrew, to just come, so they stayed in the room with me when it quieted down.
I feel like I can't really catch my breath. I don't know. I'm just tired. We're broke, really broke this month, the house is a mess, I'm moody, Steve is grumpy, Andrew is all over the place, I still haven't gotten really, really excited about even having another baby. I'm sure that I'm going to lose it, her, anyway. I've only bought socks so far. I can't even bring myself to buy baby crap. Which is good, according to Steve, 'cause we're broke. Tax guy won't even get to our taxes 'til May, even though I've got everything together and sent them more than 2 weeks ago. Life will be better when we get our refund. I'm just rambling. IDK.
I'm tired. I'm really tired. I just wanna break. I wanna bte able to breathh.
I dont know what to say, but I hope things start looking up for you soon. How scary and stressful your week has been. I hope you can get a good nap in soon.
Victoria, I am so so sorry. How scary! I can't imagine. You really need a break and some rest. I wish there was something I could do for you-I will be praying for you and that baby.
If you need anything-or need to vent, I'm here. Try and rest.
How scary. I don't know what I would do in that situation. I have had something like that happen in the store when I was preggo with .... I think it was Faith. I was in the store though. I tried to to make it out to my car and couldn't. I ended up sitting in the scotters at the entrance of the store trying not to pass out. It was amazing though. Who should walk by the front of the store but my mom. She was my angle.
Take it easy as much as possible. Sending PT your way.
Thanks everybody. I got of the computer Friday and just bawled for a while. Still feel stressed about everything, but feel like I can breath a bit more.
I see the ob on the 8th for another U/S to check on stuff, then again on the 22nd for my regular monthly appt and the will see the high risk ob on the 26th for the check they said they wanted from the genetic guy to check on babys' growth. So, at least I get to see her a lot this month. I always feel better when I can see her, even though she has been doing gymnastics in there for weeks! I just want the next few months to fly by, so she can come out and be safe. I know that when I look back, it will seem fast; but right now, day by day, it's so slow!
