My mood while writing this blog: Ok

Today I am 5w 6d and cannot wait to make it to day one of trimester 2. My symptoms are increasing and based on my pregnancy history by week 7 I am bed ridden and keeping nothing down. I am praying that this time around the hormones are kind to me and I can survive the first trimester with a smile on my face. Last night I went to the supermarket and bought a bag of exotic fruit chupa chups & a bag of suger free fruit drops. I thought sucking on sweet flavoured lollies might help take the focus off the constant sick taste and feeling I have in my stomach. I have not had any vomiting but cannot stop eating - I feel if I don't eat then I will vomit.... & my frequent eating alleviates the nausea for a short time only. I have also eaten three lots of takeaway this week which tastes great for the first 10 minutes then I feel sick and guilty for the next 4 hours. At midnight last night I woke up craving juicy watermelon...I cannot get food off my brain 24/7! Trying to remain active and avoid bed as much as possible because once I get in the bed it is a real struggle to get out. Have told two friends at work now, felt I had to tell them as I eat lunch with them everyday and they were quizzing me about my change in eating! I gave up smoking the day I had the positive pregnancy test although the girls at work still invite me out for the regular smoke breaks and commend me on my great will power each time I decline - if only they all knew!! BTW - the smell of cigarette smoke now repulses me. Still very excited about being pregnant but hoping the symptoms I have now won't get too much worse.
