Hyperemesis
A condition of severe morning sickness brought on by the inability to eat, drink and keep those things from ending up in the dog bowl. That's right. Yesterday I felt terrible all day (see post below). DH finally got home around 9pm and had to go to the bathroom. At that point, I had to throw up. The bathroom was taken, so it was either the floor or the first dish I could grab. Captain's food bowl. With his food still in there. I knew it was everything I had had all day because, well TMI, but when noodles come back up you know it. I called my doctor to see if they could do the IV electrolytes for me. I can barely walk, feel like I am going to fall over even when sitting and feel like I have twenty pound weights attached to my arms. And a constant headache that started yesterday with the dehydration. But my OB nurse says I need to go to the ER because they have better anti-nausea drugs (honestly I am more concerned about the co-pay. $15 if I went to their office, $100 for the ER, HUGE difference when you are broke). But I do have to say I am really looking forward to getting fluids in my body without having to drink them, I imagine I will feel so good afterward. Then with a good anti-nausea medication hopefully I can keep fluids down, eat well enough and never have to go back to the ER during this pregnancy. Fingers crossed (and yes, Magoo that means you. I know you have fingers now).
