I just got home not too long ago from spending 2 1/2 hours in Kaiser. I originally went there because I had a concern about some discharge (gross, I know), and wound up being diagnosed with Hpyeremesis Gravidarum. I was diagnosed with this because we got to talking about my morning sickness, and how I throw up 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 times a day. What I thought was normal apparently is not. So the doctor ordered an IV. The nurses got me hooked up to an IV and I got a little nap in! The nurses and doctor were fantastic! They made me feel so calm and they were so helpful! We of course got to talking about my fertility journey.....then the subject of work came up. When I told them the story of how I have been written up at work for missing work due to fertility treatments, they nearly cried and they said it was awful. They told me forget about them......focus on baby! And they are absolutely right! I have to focus on the baby in order to have a healthy baby! I don't care what they say to me at work, or what they try to do to me at work. At least now I am protected by the law! :)
Anyways, once I was released, I was also given a prescription of Zofran to help with the nausea. I don't really want to take it because although it is proven safe for pregnancy, I am still "worried." I will just try to stay hydrated....because I sure do feel a lot better when I'm hydrated!
Of course Troy was worried when I told him I needed to go to the OB/GYN. First thing he said was "what's wrong?" I had to reassure him that it was nothing bad. I don't think he was calm until he saw me once he got home from work. It is so nice to be loved! :)
