Relaxing Doesn't Make Babies

Natalie
From hopeful TTC, through infertility, IVF and the resulting pregnancy, this became a journal through grief and trying again after the loss of our first son, Devin, at 36 weeks. After multiple more IVF cycles we got pregnant with our second child, a little girl born healthy and alive in May of 2010. Our third child, a most unexpected surprise baby girl, was just born in June 2012!

Nausea, Baby

November 6, 2009 — 10:55 pm

Tired.

Still nauseated, very nauseated.

Very thankful that I am nauseated, that I am still pregnant another day.

There are many days that I drape myself over the toilet, holding my hair back with one hand, tears running from my eyes from the force of my stomach, and still I say, “Thank you… thank you for telling me you are still there.

And I am very sorry that my eating choices have sucked lately. I’m doing what I can, given the circumstances.”

Really happy you’re still nauseated, in the best possible way. Take care and rest up!

I lived on Ginger Ale during my last pregnancy. The nausea was terrible, to the point that throwing up seemed not so bad.
