Hindsight it was probably complications of Kidney Infection and a gallbladder attack. (I was also urinating a ton, but who doesn't when they're are pregnant?)

I fell off a swing when I was 9 and broke both bones in my left forearm. They gave me general anesthesia to straighten my arm, then I stayed for 2 nights I think. I'm hoping for a home birth (fingers crossed) I don't want to ruin my 13 year no-hospital-streak ;) Rubies on "How many times have you been in the hospital for yourself?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-have-you-been-in-the-hospital-for-yourself#post-61520 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 18:32:51 +0000 Rubies 61520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Just when LO was born - was in the hospital for a total of 36 hours.

Once for a dislocated shoulder (happened at basketball practice in high school) and another time when I passed out at a concert due to hypoglycemia. I banged my head on the floor on my way down and my boyfriend (now husband) insisted on taking me. I also spent four weeks in the hospital for inpatient treatment of an eating disorder when I was 21. Plus 5 six week sessions of partial hospitalization (basically was in the hospital for treatment from 10am-7pm Mon-Fri)...these were spread out over a year or so. I feel like I've definitely funded a wing of that hospital! Ha!

ER I think 2 times. Surgery 3 times for my knee and 2 times for my stomach. Then I have also had to go in for really bad infections I had that were actually pretty serious (Carrier of MRSA) Booo!

Other than that, it's all been just ER visits. A broken wrist, stepped on a catfish (which is similar to stepping on a sting-ray), and probably a few childhood things that I can't remember, if I had to guess. jennylynn on "How many times have you been in the hospital for yourself?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-have-you-been-in-the-hospital-for-yourself#post-61174 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 10:39:53 +0000 jennylynn 61174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Twice.

Once was a few years ago when I got a small infection on my leg which sent a red runner up my leg and I had to get IVs for that. Then they gave me antibiotics to take home which I was allergic to, and had an allergic reaction to, so I had a follow up trip from that visit (not to the ER though, just my doctor). Then last year I had this weird stomach bug where I got super, super sick and could not stop vomiting for an entire night and morning (no other symptoms of flu though), and they have to give me IVs for that and IV of Zofran. They ran tons and tons of tests, but never determined what it was. mrsjyw on "How many times have you been in the hospital for yourself?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-have-you-been-in-the-hospital-for-yourself#post-61108 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 09:10:28 +0000 mrsjyw 61108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Zero (knock on wood)... I've never been to the hospital nor have I taken any meds besides headache meds/bc pills. I'm highly considering a natural birth sans epidural...

Once when I was little and sledded right into a tree, once to have my tonsils removed, & once because I sliced my foot open. Twice in college because I had extreme back pain which lead to my another visit and a 10 day stay because the pain was a staph infection and then 6 months later when the infection came back. Needless to say, hospitals aren't happy places for me which is why I'm choosing to have my baby at a birthing center.

I've been going to the ER since I was young for migraines. They give me a cocktail of meds that gets rid of them, or at least dims them, pretty quickly. I've had 2 D&C's after a miscarriage. And then of course when I gave birth.
