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
