First ever hangover at 25 & collapsed, pregnant?!

[XxXemma]

Hello! :)

Read so many posts on here but this is my first one I've written! I know nobody can tell me I'm pregnant or not without a test, however..

I'm 25 & have never had a hangover or been sick from drinking & ive done the 18-30 holidays, the bottles of vodka at 18 & zero hangover or sickness just tired & hungry!

So Saturday I went out had maybe 7 pints of strongbow dark fruits (new favourite thing ever for the last two weeks) and the next morning OH MY GOD (worth noting I hadn't eaten for maybe 14 hours at this point) so was sick just bile over and over again, in the end up I ended up collapsing while out sat with first response for 40 minutes & in an ambulance (breathed in & didn't breathe out) obs done & refused advice of an A&E due to where we were, was on my own with 8 year old & would have no way of getting home. They said that was fine but kept me in the ambulance untill obs were better & I had eaten & drank (their last job of the day) they suggested I did a pregnancy test.

There was one time in May that I could have got pregnant around ovulation time. Last period was June 6th but was only three days & prior to this I did I feel off and noticed a few things that I thought could be pregnant symptoms but then I had my period so thought it was just that. Since then I don't think I could be pregnant as I predict I'm due to ovulate around now. Although did have unprotected sex on the 8th June. Could I be pregnant even after having a 3 day period? I know it's slim!

Has anybody else been really ill after a night out early pregnancy? I didn't think much of it (just that I'm clearly getting old haha) untill my friend said she had this experience really early on! Today I have also nearly been sick on a car journey (had motion sickness with my first pregnancy)

If your still reading, thankyou!!

Note. i don't think randomly collapsing in a shopping mall counts as unfit state, wed previously just been laughing & trying clothes on in a store. I have said lots of times that I wasn't completely surprised to be ill hence why included note I hadn't eaten for 14 hours.. it was paramedics & my friend that thought maybe pregnant.

I wasn't shit faced atall? I think this post has been taken very wrong. & an ambulance was called by station staff because I collapsed 16 hours later.

Oooo thankyou ladies, maybe this could be why I reacted so bad to an amount of alcohol I can normally drink & wake up fresh as a daisy! Think I'll have to wait a bit longer to do a test although as otherhalf has brought so many home may try one in the morning!! :)

Sounds like a hangover to me. That amount of cider on an empty stomach will leave you feeling utterly poop.

POAS though, it’s the only way to be sure.

@NotAsGreenAsCabbageLooking thanks so much for that, I think I have written my post badly if I ever post on here again this is my lesson learnt to proof read it 1000 times over! :)

I'm not a bad mum I went on a normal night out while dad was at home having Saturday night movie night with daughter & a games morning for Father's Day!!

@HyenaHappy I don't think I'll be drinking cider again then! Atleast not more than two!!

What does the abbreviation mean sorry? :)

@Wolfiefan can you stop making out I went shopping shit faced please.

I wasn't even shit faced 16 hours before I collapsed let alone while we were out shopping. I had a very standard normal night out I wasn't spilling my drinks and falling all over the show! I was a normal level of happy drunk, home & fast asleep no head spinning etc.

It means pee on a stick :)

@mmmgoats hahahahaha thanks! :)

Unfit state. Yep. Totally.
A couple of units a pint? Not sure how strong that stuff is. But more than a couple of units is technically classes as a binge.
You reckon you had 7. Hadn't eaten. If you weren't shitfaced you have a worryingly high alcohol level which may indicate a drinking problem. I sure as hell couldn't drink 7 pints. And I certainly wouldn't be fit to look after my 8 year old the following day if I did.

Well why didn't you have something to eat then? If you felt ok after the night out and knew you were going out for the day, surely you'd know that 14 hours without eating after a session would make you feel pretty ropey?

@Wolfiefan are you serious?! I hope people commenting like this isn't a regular thing! I said maybe 7, the first two were cans so they would have been what 440ml I think?

A drinking problem? I have a glass of something maybe 3 times a month if we go out for tea etc, my last 'night out' like this was February for a friends birthday, I do not have a drinking problem.

Maybe I do have a high alcohol tolerance, considering I've never had a hangover then I probably have, I don't think that makes me have a drinking problem.

@HarrietKettleWasHere I ate before we went out shopping, just toast though :) and while we were out shopping had a McDonald's.

I meant when I was sick I hadn't eaten for 14 hours, as thought that was a contributing factor :) sorry for confusion

Hurry up and POAS, I want to know if you're preggies

If you binge drink then it's a problem.
If an ambulance had to be called then it's a problem.
If it's impacting you kids. See above. It's a problem.
Calculate the units. I hope you will be shocked. NHS recommends no more than two. Many people don't stick to that. It does seem rather strict. But you drank so much you can't remember and then collapsed the next day and an ambulance had to be called.
If you think that's normal and fine then you really do have a problem.

I get horrific hangovers if I unknowingly drink the night before I come on. Doesn't even have to be a large amount.

Where has she said she doesn’t remember? And who says the ambulance was because of alcohol consumption entirely?

Be careful you don’t fall off that high horse.. it’s a long way down.

@Wolfiefan

If an ambulance was called while I was out drunk yes I would be very worried indeed that I had over done it by a long shot, but as stated this late afternoon the next day after having a few hours shopping in a complete fine state. After having a very normal level of drunk night out where I was not absolutely plastered atall.

The paramedics were given all the information you have & they were not suggesting I had a drink problem etc or seeming anywhere near as concerned about the level of alcohol as you are. They were more worried at why I would collapse so much later & hyperventilated for no particular reason, and suggested I could be pregnant, thanks for all your comments.

@NotAsGreenAsCabbageLooking

Thankyou, really :)

2 cans of 440ml strongbow dark fruits
& 3 pints in the first pub.
2 in the second & a bottle of water.
bottle of water around 6am.

For the alcohol police.

@wolfiefan you're being unnecessarily awful and there's no need for it. The question was 'could I pregnant?' Stick to that and/or back off.

Oh dear - just do a pregnancy test then you will have your answer.

@hellohello12345
Do you think it would come up now though this early if my last period June 6th was an actual period? I think I'd have to wait till end of the month.

Although another poster has said she had a horrendous hangover nothing like she'd ever had before a week after conception.

My log of when I think I ovulate may not be as good as I thought haha.

We're going on an all inclusive holiday on Sunday & it will be the last one before we were going to try for a baby so was hoping to eat lots of nice food & drink lots of nice cocktails concerned now that it won't show up & I won't want to drink a thing for worrying! We have also just bought a house & completion date is before expected period, if pregnant we will be pulling out the house to purchase a bigger one!! Not ideal timing!

refused advice of an A&E due to where we were, was on my own with 8 year old & would have no way of getting home. I don’t understand? Were you refusing medical advice because you had sole charge of an 8 year old?

If you were still very ill you could have asked her Dad to hold onto her for longer?

7 pints is too much for your health, especially without eating. Take it as a warning sign to slow right down. You sound very defensive, but please don’t be.

Sounds like The Fear, OP. Anxiety after drinking. It will be worse if you're an anoxious type anyway. Hope you are ok now.

Just read your last posts.

Woah you’ve got to back up on yourself a bit here, this is a problem. Paramedics are not going to tell you that you have a drinking problem from one incident. It’s maybe not extreme in the alcoholic scale, but it is a problem. The way you talk about ignoring advice, getting quite aggressive that 7 pints really is okay, that it’s perfectly fine. A healthier response would be to realise it wasn’t great to be so ill, wasn’t great to have that level of alcohol, and to be more concerned with that then deflecting it onto whether you are pregnant or not.

I’m not having a go at you so please don’t just get angry. I’m concerned. You sound like a friend of mine and I wish I’d told her straight, she got into difficulties later.

If your last period started on 6 June and you have a 28 day cycle, you’d only have ovulated in the last few days. Most people would agree that’s way too early to be symptomatic.

I’d disregard anecdotes about people having the worst hangover ever etc and then finding out they were a few days pregnant. For every one of those stories, there’s 100s of women who had a few drinks and just woke up unpregnant but hungover. Usually the simplest explanation is the right one.

@Bananasinpyjamas11

Dad to hold her onto her? We all live in the same house. And as stated I was fine I felt ok I just kept being sick. I didn't have a headache or anything or need to stay in bed I was pottering round the house & kept having to go and be sick.

I have came across defensive because I feel like everybody's having a pop that they have never been on a night out and it's very annoying to be made out to be an alcoholic with a problem.

Yes I realise i drank quite a lot and yes I know I should have eaten on the way home & no I'm not likely to drink that much on that level of food again.

Refuse sounds bad, my obs were ok & I felt fine again after the ordeal & some food, I didn't not need to go to A&E, A&E is not where you go for what was wrong with me, you go to a walk in centre, or if it's a common occurance of random collapse see your GP, the ambulance team were happy for me to go as they aswell me knew I didn't really warrant A&E & knew I would be there for around 6 hours & all I would do was get a blood test, I knew I would be ok... and have been since. I felt bad enough wasting an ambulance already let alone wasting A&E time. I really think my actions have been taken wrong. They had said to me when I was I was umming & aring about what to do that the lady they had previously been too had two children with her she too had collapsed I don't know why but she didn't go to a & e either she had her partner collect her and the children & go home with the promise if she became unwell she would seek GP or walk in centre advice. Thankyou for the concerns.
