Went to hospital today....

....and they wanted to keep me in again

Went in because I have been in pain since last night. Still am.

They did a trace. Babies heart rate was slower than usual, but they said as long as it is moving, there is nothing to worry about.

What they were going to keep me in for is because there was +4 ketones in my urine. I have had ketones a few times before. But I am never dehydrated (as ketones can be a sign of this). And I do have my meals.

The doc said +4 is pretty high. She kept asking if I have had severe sickness. I havent. They are non plussed as to why I keep getting ketones. I had them when I was on the ward and they saw me drinking jugs of water, and didnt understand.

To do with the baby, she says she hopes I can get to another 3-4 weeks at least. This was after saying to CTG results were 'reactive' or something similar. She kept saying that she is not worrying too much, as I have had my steroids.

I have to go back in if I start being sick, or bleed or if my pain gets worse.

She said seen as I didn't want to stay in, I need to discuss ketones with my consultant on monday.

On a good note, they did my bile level blood tests at the hospital, and they were fine! So no OC

(sorry about long post)

I really hope things ease up a lot for you.

Well, my fundal height was another thing I forgot to mention. Sunday is was 37, today it was 42 (checked by two people)

So, me and this baby must be strong, as the baby must be half my size by now

Thank you babybee. I will try to keep my chin up

Luckily they were wrong with my son. They said at least 10lbs. He was 8lb1

My OH was 10lb3 though, so not holding out much for a nice fangita afterwards!

I had ketones during my first pregnancy, but it was because I was throwing up about 10 times a day for the whole 9 months! It was awful! Worth it though, my son is gorgeous, healthy and almost 6 now! Thankfully I haven't been as ill with this pregnancy, so I haven't had ketones this time round - I'm sure yours will dissappear, not long to go now!

 

[fuffins1981]

Thats what is puzzling. I am not throwing up (maybe once every couple of days) and I am drinking. Hopefully my consulant can get to the bottom of it.

Thank you for the replies ladies. I ended up sobbing at the hospital yesterday. First time.

Sarah, I blame the moved thread on you!
