ER Visit Yesterday...
So I had just jumped in the shower, just lukewarm water, started shampooing my hair and as I was starting to rinse it out I didn't feel right. Then when I was about halfway done rinsing I starting yellig for DH because I started getting tunnel vision, which was making me have a panic attack. He came running in, turned the water in cold and rinsed the rest of my hair out. My vision slowly started returning to normal, but then right as he got the rest of the shampoo out everything went black and I told him I couldn't see. Next thing I remember saying was my head hurt. My vision was still gone, but it slowly started coming back as I crawled out of the shower. DH told me that right after I said I couldn't see, I fainted, fell and hit my head on the shower wall (which is tile). He helped me get dressed and we went to the ER.
By the time we got to the ER I could see everything just fine, but had a dull headache and was a little bit clumsy. They ran some tests and found that I was having tachycardia only when standing, which they said was probably caused by dehydration. So I got hooked up to an IV for a little while. I felt a lot better, but Im still overheating when standing. So I'll be following up with my doctor this week.
The best part of the whole ER visit was getting to see our baby. Tech said she was 60% sure it was a boy, but we couldn't get a good look at the goods. LO is VERY active and kept lifting his/her butt up and down with its legs and hitting me with it. It was the cutest, funniest thing I have seen. Heart rate was 144. I'm a little bummed we didn't get a picture to keep, but I wasn't even expecting to be able to see baby so Im just very happy with that.

Thank you! It was scary, but I'm just lucky DH was there. From now on I will not be taking showers without him at home!
And Im just so happy and relieved to see that baby is still healthy and growing right on schedule.
glad you're ok.
ER's are not u/s tech's. they aren't there to print out pictures. you shouldn't have expected one. i would have been surprised if it even printed-ER u/s machines aren't usually as nice as the ones in dr offices.
