Hi girls here's another update if anyone is listening. Since coming to my mums a couple of weeks ago I've gotten a bit worse. I'm having more and more fainting episodes. On the 14th I was taking my sister to an appointment and collapsed in the hospital corridor, my heartrate was unreadable fast by the nurse who got me off the floor- 8 minutes later I got to fmau to be assessed and my heartrate was reading 245 beats per minute (that was after I'd calmed down!) I was admitted to a cardiac ward where my heart was scanned and I was put on a 24 hour heart monitor. my heart rate is very high over 100 when resting and between 120 and 160 just standing. I was discharged the next day as they said I haven't got a heart problem it's a pregnancy related issue. So yesterday (16th) I went into town quickly to get something from boots and I collapsed and was unconscious for a time , an ambulance was called and I was taken to a and e where I had yet another ecg and was then taken to labour ward where my heart rate rocketed to 253 just laying down. Baby is fine but there is an issue with me that is potentially life threatening so I have been admitted into antenatal ward. Last night I got up to use the toilet and collapsed again and hit my face on the bin so I have a nice bruise forming lol. The dr came and said I will be reviewed by a consultant in the morning but doesn't think it will be beneficial to be or the baby to keep me pregnant. I over heard them say I may need to be induced or have a c section. I'm very anxious to hear what the plan will be , so much so I can't sleep even though I have my own side room. So I thought I'd let u all know what's going on. Sorry I've been rubbish coming on here lately I've just been so poorly. Love you all xxx
 
Wow Becky that sounds awful. I can understand then wanting you to deliver soon if this is the effect pregnancy is having on you. Passing out and falling must be so scary. I her you're exhausted too with all this going on. Look after yourself xx
 
Oh no!! I hope you get better soon! Sounds like you're having an awful time of it!! Hopefully they'll make the decision to get baby out,so that you start to get better!! Good luck Hun xxx
 
Oh my gosh, I hope there is and end in sight for you. I can relate to fainting as have been doing do since week 14 but due to heart stuff. Thinking of you! Keep us update and we are all sending positive thoughts xxx
 
Are thy measuring your blood pressure as well? What is it reading? I didn't even know heart rate of 245 beats per minute was feasible!!!!! I used to wear a heart rate monitor for working out and 210 was my peak....and that was after doing some serious cardio.

The hospital is the best place for you right now Becky. Try to relax, and think that you are in very capable hands. Keep up updated :) good to know that baby is doing well too :)
 
Oh Becky you poor thing! I thought I'd got it rough :shock: thank goodness they're looking after you and are making plans to sort it out. We're all here for you x
 
Omg Becky that sounds terrifying!... i hope they get your baby out of you asap and u get much better. Jesus i dunno how u have coped this pregnancy u most definitely are very strong x
 
Oh gosh that sounds so scary! I am glad you are in hospital where they can take care of you.

On the positive side, at least you are now 36 weeks so if they need to deliver your little girl she should be absolutely fine at this stage. Lots of hugs (((hugs))) hope everything goes smoothly xx

Thinking of you babe! Dont be scared - its best for you both! Keep us all updated and try and get some rest xxxxx
 
You poor thing. You must be terrified.

I think maybe it's a good idea to get your baby out. That way, baby will be safe, and they can start to look into what's going on with you. Clearly something needs diagnosed then it can be fixed.

You would need to watch with a wee baby, don't want you falling while holding it. Jeez.

Listen to what they say and just be careful. Hope everything goes okay. X
 
I can't imagine they'll let you labour naturally if your resting heart rate is so high, it won't be able to handle labour especially the pushing. Fingers crossed they get bubba out soon.
 
Hope you are ok, sounds scary. Hopefully they will get your bubba out asap. My niece was born as 36 weeks so I'm sure your Baby will be ok xxx
 
Just reading this and I'm really hoping your ok. Obviously I would have thought your pregnancy is having some sort of threat on your body. If they deliver baby now, baby is at a really good viable state so try to focus on that. Let us know how you get on x
 
Hi girls I've been in hospital all weekend on a heart monitor. Will find out tomorrow what the plan is. I'm hoping they will bring her out early. Please keep your fingers crossed for me... I'm so unwell I can't handle this anymore xxx
 
Oh I hope they do deliver her soon for you, this must be a real nightmare for you xxx
 
Awww Becky thats awful missus. I hope they try deliver ur little princess soon x
 
Thanks girls. I'm being induced may 3rd (next sunday) :D xxx
