10-11-2009 - Morning sickness ack!!!

My mood while writing this blog: Ok

Darn, and here I thought I was in the free and clear! I'll be 10wks on Thursday, why did my morning sickness have to start NOW? I feel so betrayed. :(

So I woke up last night at about 2am with a bad dream, couldn't go back to sleep...kept feeling like my throat was being constricted. After about an hour, I up and gagged for no reason. Woke my hubby up (I have a HUGE phobia of vomiting, it's so unpleasant, I hate it). Took some medicine, drank some water....he went back to sleep (work in the a.m.) and I was left to watch SpongeBob on subtitle. Every time I tried to lay down, I got this intense urge to gag. After about two hours I was sick of fighting it, I knew I was going to throw up. Sure enough, I got up to go downstairs and get something to snack on, and had to rush back upstairs to vomit. I know this is probably TMI, but I thought it was funny afterwards...I hucked up the Tums I had eaten to settle my tummy. Go figure.

You're hoping this has a happy ending, right? Nope....I've been awake since I fist woke up from that bad dream, almost 12 hours now...still feel that constriction, I've-gotta-gag feeling, but I haven't actually thrown up again, thank goodness. I'll probably get sick of fighting it and go throw up again at some point...now with the headache I'm sporting and the wonderful woozy lack-of-sleep feeling, I don't have much energy to deal with this.

So much for my first pregnancy going easily. It really, really hasn't. The only way I can imagine it would have been worse was if I was throwing up every day from the get-go. Other than that, I'm freaking miserable. Right now I'm doubting my plan to have more children after this one, but maybe actually HAVING the child will make me forget all about the horrible first trimester woes. I suppose we'll see in 7 months...
