scary sick night

There are no pictures to accomodate this post.

I woke up in the middle of the night feeling very nauseous. More nausea than anything I felt during first trimester. Went into the bathroom only to dry heave a few times. Of course I started whimpering and crying so my hubby came to see what was the matter. But I didnt know. Then the stomach pain started. I didnt know what was happening, so I called my nurse mother in the middle of the night just balling.

Of course she asked me many questions, "is it cramping" "does it come and go in waves." The only description I could give her was that it was burning in the center of my stomach and it hurt so bad I couldnt sit still. I was up pacing back and forth. Then of course you start thinking of all the questions, and my mind started going, well maybe it is cramping and not burning, oh my gosh. So mom called the hospital and had them transfer her to the baby unit to talk to one of the nurses there. I called this nurse to tell her exactly what I was feeling, and she couldnt be sure either. She also kept asking "does it feel like cramps." I didnt know how to answer that, all I knew was that it hurt so bad. The nurse suggested that I lay down for a bit and see if I could get the baby moving. I guess a baby moves 4 times each hour, so to wait an hour and see if the baby moved..if not to come to the hospital.

So even though it sort of hurt to lay down, I did, and at 4 in the morning, my hubby bubby played baby Ruch and I some music on the guitar. I thought maybe the noise would make baby Ruch move a bit. It took about 15 minutes of music, but sure enuf baby started twitching in there. I started crying just out of sheer relief I think. After the releif, even though I was still hurting, I was able to calm down and not cry so much, and finally fall asleep. I still woke up with some burning in my stomach, not nearly as bad though. Im not sure what is causing this burning and nausea but it sure isnt fun.

I dont know what I would have done without my mom to call, and my husband's calming care. I am so lucky. Thank you Father that baby Ruch is ok. He is moving around as I write this.
