Scary morning yesterday (update on my pregnancy)

xxbabycakesxx

Yesterday morning I was at work alone.  I was just sitting there when all of a sudden my heart started racing, I got all hot, sweaty and dizzy.  I started to walk down the hall to get the stethescope and I almost passed out!  I sat down again and counted my heartrate.  It was at 240!  I think normal is like 70 or 80.  My HR eventually went down to 120 but stayed that way the whole morning.  When my coworker came in I called my doctors and went in a few hours later.

The doctor said shes concerned about how high my HR was but it can be normal to be faster during pregnancy.  I have my first prenatal appt next Wed so she said we'd talk more about it then.  So I'm not sure what the heck that was about but I asked if we could use the doppler.  And its aliiiiive =D  I've been trying to hold back until I hear LOs heart just with all my bleeding/spotting and now I'm just ecstatic!  I'm going to wait to annouce this pregnancy until I hear the heart again next week, just in case though.

So, that is all lol.  Thanks again to everyone who supported me when I was freaking out a few months ago!

Anyways, you're getting closer to 2nd trimester - yay!!!

1st tri kinda flew right by!  Now that I sorta know this LO is for real I've really got to get a move on with selling my house and buying a new one.  Eek!  Big changes freak me out!

How are you and DH doing with this pregnancy?

Omg, that's scary!  I'm glad you got checked out and hopefully it turns out to be nothing.  So glad you got to hear the heartbeat!  Can't believe you're 11 weeks already!

Wow! I'm so glad you are okay! Hopefully things settle down for you, because you have had to deal with so much already this pregnancy! I'm so glad that the baby is doing well! YAY!!! I hope your doctor appointment next week goes well, too! I'm sure that was scary to go through, but at least you got to hear the baby's hearbeat from it!

If I could get a wish granted, it would be for you ladies to get a break!!  I'm so glad things are OK, but how scary for you.  :::big squishy hugs:::

Sounds like my hub's panic attacks!!! For realz though... I had the same thing both pg- early 2nd tri, so right.about where you are. I actually got ref to a cardiologist b/c I have a history of a leaky valve/ heart murmur. He told me that its fairly common... Your body needs more blood volume and hasn't caught up yet. He told me to get more salt! Like pretzels and gatorade.... HTH! GL and hope it doesn't happen again!!

Sorry so scary!  Hope that doesn't happen again.  And, I'm so glad you heard the heartbeat.  That is super exciting.

--halo--

That sounds very similar to what happened to me throughout my pregnancy with Jack.  It started in my 2nd tri and would happen 5-10x per day every day until I had him.    It's why I had to take FMLA time and eventually lost my job.  

I hope that it isn't that severe for you!  Just keep telling your Dr. if it keeps happening.  Mine brushed it off for months and told me that it was anxiety.  But I knew it was more than that, so I kept pushing it and was eventually diagnosed with supine hypotensive syndrome.  I had to see a cardiologist and wear an event monitor and everything.  I hope that yours was just a one time event, because it's scary and exhausting.

That sounds scary but yay for hearing the heartbeat!!

xxbabycakesxx

Thanks for all the love=)

 Kellina- thanks for the advice.  I have been craving salt and vinegar chips lol.  Time to stock up on chips=) 

Halo- totally didn't know that about your first pregancy!  How scary for you=(. Hopefully it doesn't happen with your next pregnancy.

We're doing ok... We're not telling any IRL people (except my boss who I figure I needed to tell because I'm at the point where if anything happened, I would need to give a reason when I take off) until after our u/s and marriage counseling session next week.  I'm kind of nervous to tell people.

I'm so nervous to tell people IRL!  I feel like I'll jinx it or something.  I still want to wait tilI I'm officially in 2nd tri.  Such a worry wart.

I really hope your U/S and counseling session go ok!
