I feel so ill. And not ill as in my-kid-got-me-sick, or I-ate-something-bad, but in the I have a fetus in my belly that apparently wants to turn my stomach inside out<\/i> way. It started when I hit 7 weeks. Well, no, it started sooner than that, but it got worse at 7 weeks. Before then was dry-heaving and gagging. Now I’m throwing up entire meals – with no pre-amble, no working up to it, just feeling fine, not feeling fine, then someone flips a switch and my entire meal comes back up. UGH. It’s worst in the morning. I’m fine when I’m in bed, but as soon as I get up I’m nauseated…. I eat breakfast, which seems to settle it, but I guess not enough, as breakfast inevitably comes back up. Sometimes my second attempt at breakfast does, too. The rest of the day I’m keeping things down, as long as I keep eating. I have become an eating machine. Not because I’m hungry, but because it’s the only thing that keeps the nausea down.<\/p>\n
I started taking the unisom again, which is what worked for me for both prior pregnancies. Unfortunately I’m not really seeing a difference. I may have to call the midwives to see if I can get zofran or something else that will help. I’m all for powering through and feeling reassured by the nausea, but I’m hitting the stage where I’m not really functional. Especially since I have a toddler to take care of during the day!<\/p>\n
I’m really glad Den is home this weekend, as he pretty much watched Kate all day while I layed on the couch and then went back to bed. Apparently she is much happier if I’m locked in the bedroom than laying in the living room – if I’m out here she wants me to PLAY with her… or she wants to use me as a jungle gym. I don’t have to explain how that doesn’t go over well. I felt so bad ignoring her all day, but she clearly had a great time with her daddy, I heard lots of giggles and babbling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
