Sick to Sicker

Last night was a terrible night. I had a migraine since Monday and starting Monday night I threw up everytime I ate or drank. Finally, my migraine and nausea got so bad that I couldn't stand it anymore. I called my Doctor and he said if I was in a lot of pain to go to the ER. So, we went to the emergency room at Parkwest around 8:30 and were there until about 10:30. They were really good and took me right in and we didn't have to wait. They said that I was dehydrated so they gave me an IV of fluids, demoral for my migraine, and then Phenergan for the nausea. I felt better until I woke up at 3:30 in the morning with my head killing me just as bad if not worse than before. I took more medicine and laid in bed all day until Mom came and got me. Just about the time we were ready to go to the doctor, my headache magically disappeared! At that point, I didn't feel like sitting in the doctor's office for 2.5 hours so I just had her take me home to Morristown so she could take care of me. So, that's where I am now for a few days until I feel better! The doctor in the ER said that this is quite common and that some women spend their whole first trimester in the hospital or on bed rest. So, I guess it could be worse!

Michael and I are a little disappointed with the perinatal center I am going to and are contemplating switching to another facility that can give me more individualized care. We'll keep you posted!
