I woke up feeling "off" yesterday- just really more tired than usual, nothing major. I wasn't hungry for a change 
and after dropping DD off at school, I came back home and after sitting and doing nothing for about 2 hours, took a long nap. I did drink some hot cocoa because I thought I needed something in my tummy.
I must have slept really hard, because I didn't hear the phone ring, and that's really unusual for me. Anyway, when I woke up, as soon as I sat up, I got REEEEALLY hot and projectile vomited all over the place. I grabbed the wastebasket by my bed and pretty much dry-heaved into it for a good 30 minutes.
I was really dizzy and faint and it scared me. I cleaned myself up a bit, brushed my teeth, and made some toast and sipped coke, figured it was morning sickness combined with exhaustion from getting such little sleep lately, and I was probably laying 'wrong' and cutting off some oxygen too. DH called about this time and let me know he was on his way home for our midwife appt (it was a routine one.)
I did something really stupid and drove to pick up DD from school, against my better judgement that I might faint on the drive.... but I really had no other option since we know no one in the area to pick her up.
I did manage it okay, although I got some looks from others that told me it was obvious in my face that I wasn't well.
After making it home, I called the MW group and asked if I could come in any earlier and explained what was going on. I realized at that point that I had felt very little movement from the baby all day- just some slight hand movements down low and hiccups twice earlier in the morning... no big rolls or kicks like normal. They agreed that I should come in as soon as possible. I got into the bath while waiting for DH to come home, and laid there feeling really queasy and faint.
Of course, it took about 2 hours to get to the MW anyway from that point. Everyone decided to pack clothes in case they admitted me to the hospital, he had to call his parents and let them know they might have to come get Pixie, he tried to find the number for work to call in a sub (he's a teacher), etc etc etc.... OMG- I was like, "Let's go, people!!!" and then it took an hour to get there (well, more, because we stopped at Burger King for Pixie, and I ended up downing a burger myself just to see if I couldn't feel better with some food in me!)
Anyway, to make a long story longer, they put me on an NST as soon as we got there, and even though the baby was still hardly moving, it was moving "enough" to get a great report. They surprised me and wanted to check my cervix, which was fine, but they also said, "Oh let's go ahead and do your strep test," which I wasn't ready for. Hope it comes back okay. They won't let me re-take it for some reason if it's positive. Yuck.
So, this morning, I'm sick on my tummy again, but the baby is back to its normal crazy, rolling self. I think I must have a tummy bug. Unfortunately, the heartburn (that mysteriously disappeared yesterday) is back today too. Double whammy. Yay.
Anyway, just a whiny complaint thread!
