One week after I found out I was pregnant morning sickness started. After 2 weeks I was so sick (throwing up 20+ time a day) that I had to go in and get fluids at the hospital. Over a weeks time I spent 5 of the 7 days getting fluids. Doctor Hodges decided to do at home fluids/nausea medicine. They poked me so many time to get the IV in but I was so dehydrated that I had to go to the ER to get my IV set. I had that for 2 weeks but I kept blowing through veins so they decided to set PICCline. The Piccline goes in your upper arm and the tube is really long and drops right at the top of the heart. I had to wear a backpack for 8 hours a day with a pump that push fluids in and nausea medicine. I had my backpack for 14 weeks. I developed a REALLY bad rash from the adhesive from the bandage. They had to pull the first picc and replace it in my left arm. I thought that the rash wouldn't happen again but after 2 days the rash was back. It itched sooo bad, it would wake me up at night...it was making me crazy. I finally decided to deal with the nausea and have it pulled since the rash was so bad and it was spreading all over my body. The pictures don't even begin to show what the rash looked like.
I was soooo happy when the picc was gone! You can see on my left are how messed up it was.
When I was pregnant with Madison I had kidney stones starting at 12 weeks. I spent 2 weeks in the hospital and then later in my pregnancy had them again and ended up getting surgery and have stents placed. I thought I was in the clear this pregnancy but then February 12th was the start of my hospital stays. I thought I was in labor...I was have really bad contractions that morning and my back hurt really bad to I thought that I was having back labor. But in the back of my head I thought that maybe it could be kidney stones. We went to the hospital and they got the pain under control and they checked me and I wasn't dilating and they were able to stop the contractions. They did an ultrasound and didnt see any kidney stones. I ended up going home. the next day I went into the hospital again with MAJOR back pain and contractions. They gave me 100 mg of demural and it didn't touch my pain for the gave me diluated. The took the edge off for only 30 mins and the pain was back full force. They ended up admitting me to the antepartum unit and put me on a continuous drip of pain medicine with more medicine every hour through the IV. It would only take the edge off it was that bad. The next morning the pain was gone so they discharged me. I was waiting for transport and went to the bathroom and passed the biggest kidney stone! The nurse didn't believe it. It was HUGE!!
3 Days after that overnight stay I went back into the hospital and was in for 3 1/2 weeks straight having to get pain medicine every 3 hours when I would have my "attacks". It was so hard not being home and not being able to have Jimmi and Madison around. I finally got out but was in and out of the hospital everyday until Jack was born. With the kidneys with Madison as soon as I delivered all my problems were gone. So we thought that if we were to deliver then that would solve the problem. I had Jack on March 26th and the pain was still there. I was in and out of the ER and they ended up doing a HIDA scan on my Galbladder and it showed it was only functioning at 10 % so they decided to remove it. I was in out of the ER a few more times after it was removed but now the pain is completely gone!
