So I have been feeling really dehydrated lately but I thought it was just a pregnancy symptom. Well as I was traveling home to make myself some lunch yesterday, I call my mother and who asks how I have been feeling and I tell her about the ridiculous hangover feeling. She then scares the crap out of me saying constant thirst is a sign of high sugar and that I might have developed gestational diabetes. So I then go to my grandmas to have her take my sugar and sure enough its a little high at 156 (it should be between 80 and 100) .
I got scared but my grandma and Aunt Missy calmed me down saying it would be alright I might just have to watch what I eat. So then I'm calm again and I go back to work and tell my coworker what happened. He suggests I call my doctor just to make sure everything is alright and I figure they're just going to say you'll be fine, see you Monday. Nope, they tell me to go straight to the emergency room and get an IV. Of course I freak out because to me, you're only suppose to go to the ER when something is really wrong. I guess dehydration is serious! So my coworker then takes me to the hospital since I'm in no condition to drive and they fix me all up! My sister Holly and Dad came in to make sure I was okay and lucky by that time my sugar had dropped to 88 and everything looked completely normal! Just a little scare!
Note to self: 64 ounces of water a day is not enough, you must drink more!
