I had horrible pee again overnight due to what I think is dehydration. So at 340 am I sat up in the kitchen drinking at first 1 cup of water, and then 1 cup of cordial (I find it really hard to drink that much water) and then 1 of hydralyte before I thought I was hydrated enough - to go back to bed at 420am - and have some random sleep until 6:20. I don't have an alarm clock (phone's dead) so at 5am when Pete woke up I was alert enough to tell him to ensure I got up by 6:30 (cause, I still want to attend work -- Lord knows why because I really should have just phoned sick at 3:30am).
I was thinking at 3:40 am, how when women are dehydrated and how that effects the fetal heart rate on the CTG and how they get IVCs and 1 liter of hartmanns and how they all look stunned when we're all surprised that their heart rates are 120 ish. Mine wasn't that high but I was worried. Need to make more of an effort to drink water at work... with these darn masks.
But here I am. At work anyway. Playing hooky (at the bedside of GCS4 SAH grade 5- the not homeless lady).
So what sucks about working is trying to antenatally express is impossible on 12 hr shifts, let alone with sleep deficits.
