A trip to the ER

Well yesterday wasn't the greatest day. From the moment I arrived at work I felt very dizzy and disoriented, more so than normal pregnancy dizziness. After about 1 hour I went to see the employee nurse so check out my vitals and to her surprise my blood pressure was fine, although she didn't think I looked well at all and told me to go home. Being the stubborn person I am, as I hate leaving work for sick time I worked the rest of my shift. Towards the end of my shift I really wasn't doing well and decided to head up to the ER. I hadn't felt babe move in quite some time, so I was getting a little worried. Once there they check my vitals again, my blood pressure was actually down from before and did an ultrasound to see how babe was doing. Thankfully his/her little heart was beating and arms were moving. It took some time to get a picture of the heart so I was getting a little worried.

Next they tested my sugars and took a urine sample. My sugars were 3.2 which is pretty low I guess so I possibly have hypoglycemia. Urine sample was pretty good just showed positive for luekocytes, so possibly a UTI. Which I have never had in my life before.

The doctor was pretty dumb and left the room after telling me the results and just told me to carry fruit snacks for when I feel weak. So I have no real diagnosis and will have to call my Doc for a follow up on Tuesday.

I do think that it is hypoglycemia as I have been feeling dizzy off and on all week. It gets worse in the late morning and afternoon so I will really have to make sure I bring lots of snacks wherever I go.
