Rather Dramatic Way To Get An Early Scan


Was pootling round yesterday evening sorting laundry and had been upstairs to bring down the towels and sheets from the girls rooms.
I had Harvey in a sling and so threw the laundry down the stairs and walked down after it. 2 stairs from the bottom I went totally dizzy and fell landing on the laundry - nice soft landing. Still dizzy feeling pukey and just uck. Called my mum who sent my dad round who decided to take me to hospital.
Kept telling him I was probably dizzy because I kept puking yesterday and hadn't kept much of anything down and I'd be fine. He wasn't having any of it and said I had to go like it or not.

Sat in A&E for an hour or so and then they took one look at me decided I was dehydrated and were going to keep me in overnight for obs - oh yay thrilling. So usual round of questions Do you smoke/drink/drugs? Are you breastfeeding? Are you pregnant?...
Until that point I hadn't told my parents I'm pregnant again.
He offered to take Harvey but I said I couldn't stay in as I was breastfeeding (hello the A&E doctor just asked me that), no "Get Out Of JAIL Free" card there. Nope they said it was fine for me keep Harvey with me.

Well, it was decided at some point to send me for a scan to check the pregnancy wasn't ectopic. It's not!
Bump #8 is quite content in there snuggled up along side bump #9!
A tiny bit further along than I had assumed. I'd figured I was just over 4 weeks or so, but turns out I'm just under 6 weeks.

So I had all the fun of an iv for fluids for 6 hours. I do feel loads better and I swear I just had one of them 24 hours bug things. Haven't puked since 7/8 o'clock last night at least.

Anyone want to point me in the direction of a sticky or something on how to post a piccie?
OK think I found it - let's have a try and if anyone can actually see something show me, I can never see anything on scan pics

I would say that was a dramatic way to get a scan At the same time, so glad that you didn't hurt yourself in your fall and to know that you are being looked after. Obviously, you needed medical attention and hope that you are feeling better soon!

I take it that your parents know now that you are expecting again?

It sounds like you had quite a day of it. Landing on the washing must have been fun though!
