My grid has not really been reflective of reality recently … so here’s my reality!
34 weeks today, I’ve been in and out of hospital a fair bit this month, my kidneys are shot, I’m loosing weight, he’s not gaining enough, I’m still sick daily despite taking meds and doing everything I can to keep food/fluids down. I’ve constantly got ketones and too much protein in my urine, my bloods too thick apparently … my body and his are now really feeling the effects of chronic dehydration and it’s a tough decision whether we keep him in me for the next 3 weeks till he’s full term or if me and him would do better apart. Who knows we’re taking it one day at a time and luckily the doctors are keeping a close eye on me and him.
Hyperemesis Gravidarum has, yet again, robbed me of any joy in pregnancy, this year feels like one big blurry sick bag. I do not know how we’ve both made it this far to be honest, but the end is very close and I am hopeful that soon I will be holding a beautiful, healthy baby boy and can start the long journey of repairing the damage this year has done to my poor little body.
Never mind a birth plan, I’m busy writing a food plan … all the good stuff I’m going to eat once he’s out
