28-4-2009 - Sick and no help.

My mood while writing this blog: Ok

---

SO yesterday I went to bed around 11pm and woke up at 2am with severe abdominal cramping and nausea. The baby was kicking and stretching up a storm during my misery. I went to the bathroom and sat on the toilet and the cramps got worse and then I kept belching these acidic burps and felt like I was going to vomit or have diarrhea. I felt constipated but felt like I could have diarrhea too. I know this is totally gross.. But I was sick!!! I thought about calling 911 but that would've been embarrassing for me even on my death bed...d/t the fact I thought I might have diarrhea. But I never did, I just went to the bathroom but it wasn't gross liquid. I thought about goint to the hospital and then didn't want my kids to have to be woken up since they had school today and Chloe can't miss another day (They are almost out on summer break at the end of May). I was also having braxton hicks contractions on top of all that stuff. It was so bad my lips started to swell and tingle and my throat also and I started to panic!!! I called the L&D dept at the hospital b/c my husband didn't care. I don't know what I expect from him but I feel like it's never enough. Maybe I'm wrong but I just feel like he doesn't care about me. He finally heared me on the phone calling them and asked if I needed him to take me to the hospital. I asked the nurse for a few nurses I knew who worked there by name b/c I was embarrassed to talk about the problem and scared, and they wern't there, so I asked her if it was safe for pregnant women to take Benadryl and told her all my symptoms. She said yes it was safe for pregnant women to take Benadryl. and that if I wanted to come to the ER or go up there to labor I could. OMG! I felt like I had literally no support and I was dying!!! Could anyone give me a difinative answer b/c I was panicking and did not trust my own judgment!!! So I took two Simethicone for Gas and a Benadryl and drank lots of water to hopefully help alleviate the Braxton hicks and dilute whatever it was that was causing this reaction, I've had a bad reaction like this before to ASA and so I never take it. Yesterday I had NO coffee, a simple bowl of cereal a PBJ sandwhich and chips and starcrunch for lunch, for dinner we had fish and shrimp and it was precooked fried from the frozen section at Walmart, and canned corn and Mac and cheese from a box then for a late night snak I had Oreo's and milk. I can't figure out what could've caused me to have such an abdominal upset and all these problems, but I'm going to tell my Doctor. Finally the Benadryl kicked in in about 20 minutes and I laid on my right side and t he baby seemed to calm and my cramps went away I did go to the bathroom several times. 1+2. LOL. and the nausea stopped and I fell asleep. It was so scary though. Then this morning, I'm dead tired d/t the Benadryl I took last night to get the lip tingling to stop and I literally am feeling like I'm dragging b/c Benadryl will do that. And like I ay need to use the rest room(go #2). I'm afraid to eat Breakfast or even take my prenatal vitamin.

I hope you are feeling much better. I have had similar cramping over the weekend, but was told by the doctor that it was a flu (even though there was no fever). I feel better, but still have loose BM because of the water I have been drinking. They left me very dehydrated and was having a tonne of Braxton Hicks as a result.
