ER after Midnight

Yes, Saturday night I landed myself in the ER. After throwing up pretty much anything I ate or drank all week, I wasn't doing too well on Saturday. Throughout the week the amount of times a day I would throw up was on a steady increase. On Saturday, I threw up 12 times... gross right!? John and I had decided earlier in the day if it didn't get better by Sunday I would go, but when the time in between each episode continued to decrease and they became more and more violent and miserable my amazing husband decided enough was enough and we headed to the ER a little after midnight.

I threw up twice on the way there. Once we got there it actually didn't take long for them to put me in a room, especially since it was SO crowded! You would think an ER would be almost empty at that hour, nope! But I got in after about 30 minutes or so. I threw up again was I was in the room. They did some blood and urine tests, hooked me up to an iv with fluids and some anti vomiting medicine. They also monitored my heart rate and pulse. It was a pretty uneventful experience, though they did prescribe me anti vomiting medicine to take and antibiotics because on top of it all, apparently I have a UTI, the doctor said they are very common during pregnancy... joy! We didn't leave until a little after 4 am.

I am doing better, and by better I mean that I'm not vomiting a million times a day. I still do, just not as much, and I am still ridiculously nauseous ALL day long, but at least I can sort of keep down food now. Hopefully this will only last the first trimester!
