Ok so early sunday night at 3:30 in the
morning I threw up. I assumed it was
morning sickness since I have been feeling
neasous the last few weeks. Well at 7:30
in the morning that same day I noticed
what looked like bug bites on my arms.
So, I figured ok then odd. Later that day
they got worse and they looked very
similar to hives. So I took a nap...And
woke up puking up bile, since I hadnt
eaten anything since the last time I threw
up. So around 1 am on monday I told louie
we had to go to the emcercncy room. I
couldnt move and the rash was getting
worse. So went to the emercency room and
we had to pull over so I could puke
again...It was so bad all I was doing was
dry heaving. We got to into a room and
the doctor said it was the most impressive
case of hives he's ever seen. So they
sent a guy in to take my blood. Now mind
you im already serverly dehydrated from
puking for almost 12 hours. They took 11
viles of blood. No joke. I puked after
that incident too. So at 8 in the morning
on monday they admitted me to the
hospital. Basically what happened was I
got a stomach virus, and becuase im
pregnant and I have alot of new hormones
running through my body, it reacted
differently to being sick, hence the
hives. I was so deyhrated and sick it
wasnt even funny. The babies fine. They
did an ultrasound just to make sure and
its heartbeat is normal. So thats good.
I'll have the sonogram pic up as soon as I
can. But yes im better now...I got home
about 30 minutes ago. My hands and feet
are still swollen but almost all of the
hives are gone and I can eat soild food
again. I was just wondering if anyone had
a similar experince to mine...Cuz one of
the doctors said first time mothers
sometimes do this???

The doctor has to be right. I have never
personally experienced it but i'm sure it
is possible. That must have been
horrible. I'm soo sorry that you had to
go through that and I hope it never
happens to you again!!

I hope you feel better.
What a strange thing to happen!
But I found anything is possible with
pregnancy! ;o)
