As for me, I have not been feeling well for the past week. It started on Wednesday morning. I have an awful burning in my stomach along with nausea and vomiting. I have also been having a lot of dizzy spells, too. I haven't really been able to eat or drink anything at all. My stomach pain got to be more than I could handle and ended up going to the ER on Friday night (yes the night before Chase's birthday party...thank you Christy for staying with Chase while we went to the hospital)!
They checked my blood, gave me an ultrasound to check my gall bladder and an EKG to check my heart. Test results came back good and they gave me some muscle relaxers for the spasms in my stomach and another med for my pain, but it didn't work. The night time was way worse than the day pain for some reason, and I often ended up curled up in a ball on my bedroom floor crying.
I luckily had my first prenatal visit with Dr. Lobello today. She is sending me to St. Tammany out patient hospital to have quite a few test done. I am having both an upper ultrasound and total abdominal ultrasound to check everything in my stomach and make sure the baby is doing okay. I am also having an echo done and I need to wear some sort of heart monitor for 24 hours just to be sure my heart is okay (a precaution from the dizzy spells). She also changed up my medicines and prescribed me a narcotic for the pain.
Tonight I made it all they way until midnight before the pain really kicked in. That is an improvement from the past week, but I'm still hoping for the pain to cease all together soon. I have no idea if this is related to the pregnancy or not, but I'm pretty sure Shane and I have decided that this will be our last pregnancy :-)
Please keep us in your prayers as I get all my tests done and that baby number 2 is safe and healthy!

Looks like a great party!
I hope all is okay with you and your peanut! I'll say a little prayer for you both.
Michele, you are in my prayers as I can relate to being miserable during pregnancy. We have vowed that this is our last child as well :) Pregnancy is not easy on me. Good luck with all the tests. I am sure that the baby is fine - they are tough. Take care and feel better soon!
Let me know how everything goes - hope it gets better soon!
I hope you get better soon. I'll be thinking of you getting all the tests run. Keep us posted on it.
