Back to L&D for me...
Thank you all so much for the well wishes on my other post, it made me feel better. So last night I was feeling pretty bad still and not able to keep anything down. Then I started having HORRIBLE stomach pains, which I could not tell if they were contractions or stomach cramps from being sick. I went to L&D and they hooked me up to the monitors and I was having some contractions and my fever went up to 101. The doctors were worried that I might have had appendicitis or chorio (which is an infection of the placenta). Luckily after blood tests and an ultrasound on my appendix, it turns out I have Rota Virus not the flu. A lot of children get it but I guess pregnant women are also very likely to get it. So they loaded me up with fluids, terbutaline, and I just have to wait it out. I got to go home after 24hrs and am on bed rest for the next few weeks until I reach full term because I started to dialate (1-2 cm) thanks to the contractions. She told me it will take 7-10 days to get over it, but the first 3 are the worst. I am already starting to feeling better, so I am thankful for that. I have been so excited to read the progress everyone seems to be making and our new arrivals!
