had been up all night (after that long day of moving yesterday) and felt like the bub was using my insides as a squeeze toy.
i never really went to sleep so i got out of bed early for a hot shower (didn’t help) and then walked around the townhouse to find a comfortable place – on the couch, on the floor, outside on the grass in a yoga pose (which worked best). but since i couldn’t find a comfortable position to sleep in, i couldn’t sleep it off and i couldn’t eat or drink because of the extreme nausea (i was carrying around an ikea blue bag because it was the first thing i saw) – i called the midwives and they asked me to come in for a check up.
mum & dad were over within 15 minutes (i think they thought THIS WAS IT!) and i went up to the birth unit with Regan and my mum for observation. spent a few hours there getting checked on. we got to hear the bub’s heartbeat (mum’s first time!) and they poked and prodded my stomach to see where it hurt. i was a bit dehydrated but otherwise was OK to go home – after a shot of maxolon in one leg, and buscopan in the other. it helped me sleep a bit while i was there, which was awesome, so we came home to rest. we figured it was just bad indigestion .. the curry perhaps but whatever it was, it was super annoying.
still feeling a bit crap now but at least i’ve had some sleep. hopefully i’ll be OK tomorrow! this kind of thing doesn’t last very long
so that was our first day in our new townhouse 😛
