Hi everyone, well I'm not long back from the dr's. I fainted while dropping ds2 off at nursery. I was waiting for when they open the doors, suddenly my bump felt very heavy, I came over feeling very sick, then the heat just rose from my feet up, I was caked in sweat and felt the need to sit down before passing out or being sick. Managed to get myself to the door, but didn't have the strength to push the bell. A couple of other mums rushed over and did that and held me up. Next thing they're sitting me on a chair in the nursery and finding all the sugar they can for me! ds2 was quite upset, bless him. I was there for a while & they called DP who drove round to collect me. (Felt a bit silly, but I would not have been able to walk home, even though it's quicker to walk than drive!).
He called the mw when we got back, she was really good, called back a little while later, and said that she was on holiday but not to worry if we needed to talk. Said to get me to the dr's more as peace of mind than anything else, but she was really good & asked DP to text her when we got home.
Dr was really nice (luckily our gp surgery is full of lovely dr's and this one is probably my gp of choice anyway) and checked blood pressure, blood sugar levels etc. Had a feel & a listen. Everything was good & I have doctors orders to rest for the rest of the day. It's shaken me up more than anything else, and really came out of the blue, especially as I'm being so careful about keeping my sugars up.
We won't be having a christening/naming ceremony or anything similar. I wsa christened, not sure about DP, but more because that was what was done when I was a baby. (and very odd as my dad hates religion and is very vocal about it ). It caused a bit of bother with my ex's mum as she was disgusted that I wasn't having a christening. (She's Italian, so very strong RC family). She would make sarky comments about it and really stropped at me when I said I wsn't having one. Err, my baby, my choice!
