25-7-2008 - Sick..ugghh and updates

My mood while writing this blog: nauseated

Ok so I totally feel that my morning sickness, more like all day sickness, deserves it's own blog along with some other things. It likes to take over my life apparently and that doesn't help considering I'm having a lot of RL pain. I talked to the nurse yesterday about the RL pain and she said that it was definitely normal especially when I'm having my first baby and my uterus isn't used to the stretching. Anyway back to the m/s. I wasn't sick at all until week 6 and then once that started, it didn't end until 8 weeks. I was sick from weeks 6 to 8 everyday at least twice a day. The doctor gave me lozenges since I chose not to be on a prescription medication that would make me more tired than I already am. So it stopped for six days and then blah...sick again. A week later it returned again. I thought it would go away and now that I've hit 11 weeks as of Sunday it's started again. Sick Sunday, twice on Wednesday, once on Thursday, and twice today before it even hit 5:30 this morning and I still don't feel well, oh and I just got sick again! I hope it goes away soon, like now! I am glad that I'm not like my mother when she was pregnant with me because I made her sick constantly, she had hyperemesis gravidarum so she lost 10 pounds the first few months of her pregnancy and only gained what I weighed because she was so sick. I definitely have had a break with being sick but it sucks when it's happening. Speaking of not gaining much weight. I see a lot of people on here who have gained at least a few pounds already. I weighed myself yesterday with a scale consistent to my weight and that was midafternoon, it said I only gained a pound and a half. I had already eaten and had been able to keep that down, along with having my stethoscope and shoes on as well. That means that I weigh just about the same as I did before I got pregnant. On the other hand a lot of people have had more of an appetite than I have and I don't drink but maybe, maybe one caffeine free diet coke a day, the rest is all water and lots of it so maybe I haven't gained a ton of water weight. I love water with lots of ice! I take my prenatals but sadly I couldn't yesterday because nothing stayed down and sometimes if there's not enough in my stomach before I take them then they make me nauseous so I knew I just couldn't. I apologized to my baby for that. I just took my prenatal vitamin today and I seem to feel fine now, fingers crossed! I definitely can't wait to have my first ultrasound this coming Tuesday, I should be 12 weeks then so hopefully the baby will be bouncing around. I just hope I haven't been too sick to where the baby might not be getting enough nutrients through me. Oh I hate being worried but I'm glad that there is light at the end of this tunnel because I get to see my baby soon. I hope all is well with my little bitty baby!
