I had my 36 week check up today.
But let me back up a bit.
Woke up and told Colby to go ahead and go to work.
But within half hour, I had gone from bad to worse.
I called him and told him to come home.
My migraine had gotten worse and I couldn't even get out of bed.
I was in horrible pain.
He hurried home and took care of the girls.
I tried to move my appt. time up, but there was nothing available.
The pain subsided after a few hours, but I still felt horrible.
I had to cancel preschool and a friend came and got Peyton.
Colby, Maddie and I headed to the Dr. at 12:30pm.
My checkup was fine.
Only gained 1 lb.
She did a quick ultrasound to check baby's position.
He is head down.
She did group B strep test and checked my progress.
I'm 2 cm dilated, but not effaced at all.
I told her about my sickness and the headaches.
She got me an appt. across the hall with a primary care doc.
After meeting with him, he wanted me checked into the ER.
I had a very high pulse, and very low blood pressure, and symptoms that didn't match up to this just being a 'sinus headache.'
He told me they would prob do a spinal tap, at which point I kinda freaked out.
I did not want a spinal tap, nor did I even want to go to the ER.
I just totally broke down.
They took us over to the ER.
We called my mom who came and got Maddie, and then picked Peyton up from her friends house.
She kept them for the next 2 nights.
They took my blood, gave me an IV with fluids and Tylenol, and then we waited.
They found an elevated white blood count, and a UTI.
They gave me antibiotics and recommended the spinal tap.
But after talking about it, I didn't feel it was necessary with my symptoms.
So eventually they sent me home.
I was glad to come home to my bed and slept pretty good that night.
We still came home without any real answers, but I'm just praying that it gets better on its own. And fast.
It was a very.long.day.
