Well, I've learned that being sick while pregnant is far worse than being sick while not. Started vomiting Sunday morning at 5:30 a.m. and continued without sign of stopping 'til 10 a.m. when I decided to head to the hospital. So I was there from around 11 a.m. 'til 4:30 on IV and some kind of anit-vomiting drip, and then on the fetal heart monitor to make sure everything was OK. It really sucked. Of course, this all had to happen on a Sunday when my doctor wasn't around! I was so sore and unable to get comfortable, and even a small sip of water would make me throw up. By the time I went home, I was able to keep down small amounts of liquids, but was still in pain and had terrible chills. I really believe that being pregnant made my symptoms worse - I haven't felt that bad or weak in a long time...
This was all done in the labor and delivery room, which was extremely hot. I know Koreans like to keep the temperature a bit higher than normal, but this was ridiculous. So now I have another point to discuss with my doctor about my birth preferences: since I'll have a private room, I want to be able to have some control over the temperature.
Luckily I'm feeling better today. Still not 100%, but worlds better than yesterday. I'm off to rest some more.

Oh NO! You must be so tired. Do you think it was something you ate or just from being out and about? Stupid Coffee Bean... I hope that you feel better soon!
Well, the day we met after my appointment, my husband had stayed home sick with a headache and flu-like symptoms, so I suspect I just got a worse version of what he had. I'm feeling much better today!
Hopefully this will be the end of your hospital visits until delivery!
I sure hope so!!
Sarah! How miserable. I can't imagine. I'm glad you are feeling better. I'm afraid to go out with all the crap going around. Everyone is sick! We are visiting the States for the first time in a year and I don't want to catch anything before we go.
Yes, there's definitely a lot going around now. Don't risk it if you don't have to!
32 days to go according to your baby tracker widget! I know we were just talking about this today, but when I saw that number, it made it seem even more impending! It is going to be great.
I know! It's nuts. I'm in disbelief....
