This is a pic of what my embie would look like about now.............................................................
We actually got to see embie on the Friday just gone, by matter of a kind of emergency really. On the Thursday night as we had just finished up dinner I started to get waves of pain across the top of my abdomen (just under my chest). They would go from one side right around to the other and by 8.30pm I had the choice to either go to bed and try and ride it out or go to the emergency room because over the two hours they had gotten worse and worse.
I decided to go to the emergency room because I was concerned for embie, even though I was fairly confident the pains had nothing to do with him/her. After we had been seen by the doctor there I was diagnosed with a Gallbladder attack, as when the doctor put pressure on where my Gallbladder was and asked me to take a deep breath in and out, it really hurt.
He sent us home advising that usually a Gallbladder attack was normally for females who were fat and forty. He said that my recent IVF cycles and this pregnancy had increased the hormones in my body which can bring about an attack. He said hopefully it was a light first attack and that I should go home and rest with a panadol.
Well about an hour after being home and going to bed, the pains up'd their anti and set me feeling like I was going to pass out, I go the shivers and my teeth started chattering and the pain was 10 times worse than it was an hour or so before. I got my husband to get me the laptop so I could google how long a Gallbladder attack was meant to last for, and it said 15mins to several hours!!! Trust me to get the several hour version!
The next morning I woke to a tired sore belly from my lower abdomen to right up under my chest and from one side right the way to the other side. The pain had changed to more like whole belly tenderness whenever i moved. I made an appointment to see a GP before work.
To be continued....................
