gotta keep things interesting

Today I had a vasovagal response after my growth scan/BPP. ::)I didn't pass out, but had all the other symptoms. I was waiting to get called back to the exam room and suddenly felt extremely hot, sweaty, nauseated, light-headed, dizzy, etc. I had the thought that perhaps I should tell a nurse, but was scared to get up as I thought I might faint. When I made it back to a room, I laid down as per my protocol before having my BP taken. When she took it, it was ridiculously low. No wonder I felt so horrible! It took a long time for me to recover, but I'm finally feeling back to normal now. Kind of ironic because last Friday I ended up in the hospital since it was so ridiulously high.

I've been having contractions the last few days. They feel similar to BH, but are timeable. OB checked today when she did my Group B Strep swab and said I'm at a 1. So, I was most likely right when I thought I was losing my plug earlier this week. I've got 19 days to go into labor on my own before I'll be induced! I've never contracted like this on my own with DD and DS, so I'm hopeful I might actually go into labor on my own . . .

Rachel, I seriously feel like we are having the same pregnancy or at least sympathy symptoms for each other! I went with my bf to his cardiologist appt which happens to be my cardiologist as well...and thank goodness it's at a hospital! I was fine til we go back to the exam room and well Sam thing, got hot, dizzy, nauseated, etc so I told my bf and by the time the cardiologist cam in I kinda made a joke about it. Well by the end of the appt I got the nurse to take my BP an it was like 90 something/60 she told me to go downstairs and get something salty like chips an a cold drink. She asks if I thought I could make it down there and I told her yes well I made it to the checkout line and literally just about passed out. The ER came an got me an monitored me and checked me out. Basically said preggo related and that something might have triggered a lil vertigo because I kept leaning to the right. The ER Dr said she just needs to come out and now because my "lil parasite" is sucking the life out of me

I am glad you are ok and making some progress on your own. Hopefully you will go into labor on your own as well! If not at least the end is in site and we have just about made it!

Praying you go on your own! How scary with the blood pressure dropping low! I had a similar circumstance during a c-section, but I was lying down and had lost a lot of blood. Horrible horrible and very scary feeling! (((huge hugs)))) almost there, girl!
