NIghtmare last night - ds2 had first ride in ambulance!

[tortoiseshell]

That's it really - ds2 (4 months)from being absolutely fine was suddenly HUGELY sick whilst in the baby sling with dh (he'd put him facing forwards which I think retrospectively was a mistake ), then went totally white and floppy and really really cold. Phoned NHS direct, they sent ambulance, went down to Childrens Hospital A&E, in the ambulance of course ds2 was grinning away, still a bit pale. They checked all his obs, was fine, waited 4 hours to see doctor(!), he was absolutely fine, got home 2.00 this morning. Got to bed at 2.45, and had to get up at 7 this morning.

Anyway, thank goodness he's fine, no idea what caused it - any ideas?

Gawd tortoiseshell - what a nightmare. Glad everything turned out okay. No ideas though.

oh hun thats awful for you
so glad he's fine
no idea what it could have been

Is it possible that he pinched a major vein or artery that could've caused him to pass out?

I'm thinking it's either that he was a bit shaken about in the sling, or had a little bug or something. It was extremely scary though!

has anyone else any ideas what else this might have been? M2FD - I suppose that's possible, but he didn't 'pass out' as such, just went very very pale.

thanks yg! He seems fine today. It's just a bit weird the way it came on. Anyway, he seems ok now.

Just found out a friend's boy had a similar thing, at the weekend, so I guess it's a bug of some sort. Phew.

Probably a bug - but babies can have what is not technically known as a "clusterf*ck" reaction....a little kind of CTRL/ALT/DELETE moment where they sort of pass out because of the shock. He might have really frightened his little self being so sick

That's really interesting - that's EXACTLY what I would describe it as! I've never heard of that before but it does make sense. Thanks!

thanks CF!
