Ouch

So my IV blew today, not too bad since I got it put in on Thursday. So I called the oncall nurse to come put in a new one and ended up getting poked 5 times. I'm pretty dehydrated so finding good veins to begin with wasn't easy, and then everytime she got one in the vein would instantly blow. My arms which were already bruised now look awful and really hurt. And she was eventually forced to put it in my wrist in a very awkward place so now I'll be able to do very little with my hand. At least for now I'm being pumped full of fluids.

So is it March yet.

Update: And of course as soon as I posted this my IV started leaking. The nurse came back and things are once again running. Hopefully they will stay that way.

Yikes! IVs are not fun. I would not trade my pregnancy for yours. But, you seem a lot more positive about your pregnancy symptoms than I was. Way to be positive!
