I knew it was too good to last

I knew having an awesome, healthy pregnancy was too good to last. But hey, we've made it 29 1/2 weeks, so that's good! Definitely easier than with my first.

Last night I had to go to the ER. The last 5-6 days, I've had upper abdominal pain with a bit more cramping, gas, a couple more BMs/day than usual, but really nothing major. I had a cold and got a sinus infection (we think) like 3 weeks ago and I was put on Augmentin. When I got off is when I started having problems, but I figured it was just reacting to antibiotics and the Florastor. But it just kept getting worse and worse, to the point that Tuesday's lunch was the last time I could really eat or drink. It isn't heartburn (I know what that's like, lol) and I skipped Tuesday dinner in case it was my gastroparesis, but I woke up Wed morning still hurting, so it isn't my stomach being too full.

But Wed breakfast I threw up, and I couldn't drink even a few swallows without it just killing, so I went to the ER to get IV fluids. Lipase levels are normal, so it wasn't my pancreatitis. My BMs had mucous in them today, so I'm thinking maybe my Crohn's is upset for some reason? I don't know. I'm exhausted (didn't get home till 3a) and my stomach still kind of hurts, but I was at least able to eat. I have a call in to my GI and am waiting to hear back from them.

Just frustrating.

That sounds like a terrible time!
Do they have any idea what's happening?

I am so sorry to hear of your trip to the ER and I hope you feel better soon and that the GI and others can find out what it is. I also hope it is a one time occurrence and the rest of the pregnancy can proceed without any other medical issues! You have been so very very helpful and supportive with my questions and concerns (as well as to countless others). You and everyone else on this forum has truly been an ongoing blessing and I never go to bed without going to it. Please let us know how you are doing. Hugs and prayers... your way!!!

This is a real long shot, but there might be a very small chance that it could be a condition called hyperemesis.

My wife had this. It's sort of a pregnancy allergy.

Wow! I can't even begin to imagine what it's like to be pregnant on top of everything else. Huge hugs and kuddos to you!

Looks like they are putting me on budenoside (not sure what dose yet, haven't picked it up). Since it's not as systemic, hopefully it'll touch the baby less than prednisone will. :)

Thanks. :) I think so - I have been able to eat a bit better. The pain is still there, but not nearly as intense or constant. So hopefully it'll keep kicking in and we'll get passed this.
