Blackout...

Ouch. I have a bump on my head. Why? I fainted. How retarded! I do NOT faint, and I prided myself in that until yesterday. Myah.

Here's how it happened.

I was in the kitchen getting something to eat yesterday morning a bit after 9am. My gag reflex must be messed up from when I had morning sickness or something, because I coughed just a bit and then all of a sudden felt like I was REALLY gonna hurl! lol

So I lean over the sink, with my elbows propped up... then everything goes gray.

All I remember after that is the feeling of laying in bed with ur eyes closed, its pitch black, ur almost asleep but ur mind is still wandering... then nothing.

I woke up quite abruptly to a split-second falling sensation, a big bang and heard myself shriek,"Ow!" I had no idea what was going on, why my head hurt, or where I was. Reallllly freaky.

Then I open my eyes and I'm laying on the kitchen floor, and Kitty is sitting beside me looking really worried. Apparently I blacked out and just fell straight backwards from the kitchen sink onto the linoleum-covered concrete floor.

I called Chris crying right after I was able to get to the sofa, and that made me feel a bit better. Then I called Susan cause she was taking me to a doc appt later that day anyway and she said to call the doc. Then I called the doctor who said if I still felt the baby moving I should be fine. Then I called Daddy, still crying, and he said I sounded like I was having a panic attack cause I couldn't catch my breath. Weird. He's a nurse and so we talked for a while and by the time I got off with him, I was calmed down.

I still feel retarded cause it wasn't really something to cry over... It just hurt and the feeling of not knowing what happened, not being in control and wondering if the baby was alright kinda freaked me out.

Needless to say I now have a large bump on the back of my head and a wretched headache!

When Chris got home from work that evening, we were talking and he said to let him know if my headache persists for too long. To drive home the seriousness of the situation, he then proceeds to tell me about Billy Mays getting hit on the head with a piece of luggage, and then 3 days later dying in his sleep. So then I was afraid to go to sleep last night, lol!

But I woke up fine this morning, still with a headache but alive. :D

Today I'm trying to do better about eating regularly, because the doctor said my blackout was most likely caused by low blood sugar, even though it didn't feel low at all. Pregnant women are supposed to eat 6 small meals per day, which sounds very unhealthy for the digestion, so I haven't been doing it. But I guess maybe I should eat some trailmix or yogurt in between, just to keep my blood sugar from dropping too low.

Don't wanna do that again! :/
