I got sick on Friday afternoon. I started throwing up around 6:00pm and by midnight I had enough. I couldn't keep anything down..no water, or crackers. So at midnight I called my OB. She said to go to the ER and get some fluids.
12:30 am on Saturday morning James took me to the ER. We were there for 2.5 hours. I got 2 bags of IV fluids and 2 doses of Zofran. It made my throwing up stop but I didn't feel any better. My stomach was cramping and I felt so bad. The ER doctor said I had a stomach bug. They wouldn't listen to gummy's heart beat that just kept telling me I wasn't far enough along which made me mad!
We finally got home at 3:00am and I didn't sleep that whole night. Yesterday I laid in bed all day. I thought I was feeling better today. I got up and got dressed. James and I even ran to Target, but I was wrong I still feel pretty crummy.
Please pray for gummy and I a speedy and safe recovery.
Hopefully I can update again tomorrow.

Praying you and gummy feel better soon!
I hope you feel better---the stomach "bug" is so hard to deal with when you are pregnant--it feels ten times worse, then you sit and worry not only about you but the baby too! Give it time, try not to "rush" the healing process--Just take this time to relax and watch your favorite shows! I am a hypocondriac, so I totally understand what you mean about the heartbeat thing, you just want the Dr. to listen to your concerns and offer an ultrasound or something--I am a Registered Nurse--sometimes I notice Doctors don't see the "feelings" aspect of patients--we as nurses try to help with that!! I sure talked alot--I hope you feel better soon and I love your blog :)

It's got to be a bug... Sounds crazy, but it's going around over here in Germany (my whole FAMILY had it except for me.) Started with my 1 yr old, and within 48 hours, the other 3 had it too! I slowly watched as all my friends on facebook from EVERYWHERE started posting that they were puking too.
I pray it's just a bug, and that it passes quickly. Puking stinks! (literally!) :)
Sending lots of prayers! Never had the tummy bug when preggo, but a friend of mine did and she said she was miserable! Rest as much as you can!! Get to feeling better!!
xoxox
Also, I am just going to put this out there. Not sure how you feel about dopplers you can rent. I rented one with my second pregnancy (I was always so afraid due to a miscarriage) it helped me out lots and gave me lots of reassurance when I had to wait to see the Dr. If you have any questions, please feel free to message me!
Anyways, get well soon! :)
what helped me a lot when i was pregnant i would drink perrier. works wonders for the stomach when pregnant. drink it while you eat. it will help you food settle a bit better in your stomach and you will be able to hold your food down. let me know if it works for you.i hope it does.
Just as @ourhappyfamily suggested, I rented a doppler for my second pregnancy....they are not expensive, and so worth it. Especially fun for family who don't get to go to the doctor and hear the heartbeat at ultrasound appointments.
I have followed you, but never commented....Both of you are amazing people!
Blessings to your family!
Cheers!
Oh Goodness! I feel so bad for you. I went to the ER when I was 12 weeks with Matthew, and I was having the worst stomach pains and I was dehydrated. Apparently dehydration can cause stomach cramps.
I don't know how you feel about this but there are two companies that rent out fetal dopplers...www.heartbeatsathome.com and bellybeats.com
Anyway you can hear the HB at 10 weeks with the digital verison.
It helped me to reassure me.
prayers for you & Gummy! I hope everything is ok and you get to hear that sweet heartbeat soon!
Ack so sorry you are feeling so horrible!! Hope you are feeling much better today!! Sooo super excited to hear about gummy :o) Wish they would have let you hear his/her heartbeat too!! Then we could all take guesses by how fast it was LOL. My oldest daughter is 8 weeks today and we are also anxiously waiting to hear the heartbeat as well!! Hugs chickie!! <3

Praying for you and gummy!
Hi Kellie, I just started reading ur blog today and I want to say that i'm so sorry for your lost she was so precious and congrats on your pregnancy I will be praying for you all. I lost my Little angel when was 14 weeks pregnant on 3/24/09 & brought him into this world asleep on 3/29/09. When I started reading all your feelings I completely understood all your feelings and still do with time it gets easier but the pain never goes away, well I now have a 6 month old daughter and my pregnancy was high risk as well, she's my miracle the only reason she's here is 'cause she had to get blood tranfusions while in the womb and one after I gave birth to her. But she is doing great and I know your little miracle will be great also. God bless you and your family. Letty
I hope you feel better soon! Sending good vibes to you and Gummy!!!
Oh sweetie....I had this with both my girls around the same time too and both times went in hospital for fluids...it was a bug too I think maybe pregnant women are suseptable to these bugs, I know just how you feel! My girls were both fine but I remember being concerned like you and I was so tired from it all. They too couldn't do the heartbeat thing but I went away and felt much better after a few days rest....thinking of you sweetie ;) Hugs, Bonnie x
I rented a fetal heart doppler/monitor for two of my pregnancies, just so I could listen to their heartbeats anytime I needed reassurance. Here's the site: http://www.bellybeats.com/ Hope you feel better soon. Your happiness means a lot to me!
