We made it through our first BUMP in the Road. I am still suffering from low blood pressure. It makes me feel like I am going to pass out. Lately, I feel like I can't stand up longer than 30 seconds without thinking I am going to fall. It is hard, but I will make it through.
I had a follow up appointment with Dr. Young a few days after I was released from the hospital. He put me on Phenergan to help with the severe nausea. Chris and I had a time trying to locate the Phen gel though, but eventually we located it at Kroger in the Woodlands. It seems to be helping pretty well. I am starting to be able to eat a little more. It is always worse in the mornings, and I usually stay in bed to ride it out. I get up anywhere between 9 and 11:30. I am not always sleeping till then though. The Dr said that Phen would make me tired, but it doesn't at all. Of course Chris and I have really come to realize that I am anything but normal. But, I am grateful for the medication.
He also put me on iron. I am anemic, but not too bad. He also wrote me a prescription for maternity compression hose, but they cost $115 and we really don't have the money for it right now. So, I am going to look online to see if I see any cheaper.
The baby was doing really well at the checkup, even though, I practically passed out again while on the bed in the dr room, while waiting for the dr. Chris stood fanning me, hoping to not end up back in the hospital. We made it through.
The baby was moving around so much he could barely get the heartbeat. But eventually our little dancer slowed down enough to catch it. 167 beats per minute. GIRL OR BOY????
