I hate going to the ER

Ma

I’ve been dealing with HG throughout this pregnancy and now my medications need to be changed again to give me some relief. The reglan on its own just isn’t doing it anymore and because of that I spent two days AGAIN where I couldn’t stomach anything even water and was throwing up blood AGAIN. So AGAIN I call my doctor and they say go to the ER.

Except I get to the ER dizzy, lightheaded and woozy, and holding a vomit bag full of blood and bile. And what am I told? “This is common in pregnancy this isn’t exactly urgent” but a fucking old woman who needed and infected bunion looked at is wheeled straight back while I’m told “no clue how long a wait, this isn’t urgent and we’re busy” by the time I’m finally triaged I’m just told again over and over “it’s common to get sick in pregnancy. Have you tried small sips and small meals? How about ginger” MAAM, I’m on multiple medications and supplements to deal with this and I’m still sat in front of you holding stomach acid mixed with my blood. Do you think ginger is the fucking answer here??!

I eventually just gave up and left, came home and had a small bowl of weed and then I was able to stomach my meds and a whole glass of apple juice. Now my goal is to just rehydrate best I can myself since obviously I’m not taken seriously at the ER despite being sent by my doctor.
