Well. Today my little boogie decided to give me a little excitement.
I had yet another work Christmas lunch. (Working in 4 different
facilities means lots of functions.) Once we were done eating, we had a
mini-staff meeting. While still seated, I started feeling a little odd.
Swimmy-headed, short of breath, funky heart rate... Once the
conversation was over, I stood up, moved around a little bit, and all my
symptoms got worse. My coworkers forced me to lie down for a bit. I
text Bob and decided I should go to my doc, so he came and picked me up,
and off we went.
After numerous blood pressure checks, pulse checks, and temp checks, my
docs office released me to go. They said either I'm on the verge of
getting sick or sitting in the chair at lunch compressed the blood flow
back to my heart. Apparently that happens starting at this stage of
pregnancy. The doc said it'll probably happen again, and when it does,
to lie down on my left side to take pressure off that blood flow.
Hopefully it WON'T happen again, but I guess I'll be prepared when it does.
