| ugh |
I promise that this blog won't be all-pregancy, all-the-time. But I'm feeling icky so I need to share. I thought "morning sickness" was supposed to be a first trimester thing?!? Ok, so I had some nausea in the first trimester. I thought it was novel, because with Jakob I had a pretty symptom-free pregnancy. So I was like, ok, this is what people feel. I'm queasy, and feel like I'm living on a boat, but it's livable. I didn't need meds, so I was ok. It only started at 6 weeks, and was pretty much gone by 10 or 11 weeks.
But now? Holy cow! The DAY I hit 14 weeks (second trimester) I started throwing up. That's crazy! Friday night- lost supper. Saturday night- lost supper. And ever since yesterday, I have thrown up everything I've put in my mouth. Every meal, every snack, even a cup of coffee or 5 spoonfuls of soup. The craziest part is that I'm not nauseous at all! I don't feel sick, or queasy. Sure, I feel shakey afterwards, and weak, because I'm empty. But I feel like nothing is triggering it, other than the fact that I'm eating. I'm actually getting kinda scared to keep eating, because I don't want to keep throwing up. (Don't worry, I know I need to eat for the baby, and I will. It's just becoming an all-consuming thing now, this whole "am I going to throw up" thing).
Ugh.
In other news, I'm still working on the knitting for Veronik, so I can't show you my current project, but I have some stuff I will be able to share, so when I'm home and have access to my camera, I'll try to post some photos.Labels: baby |

Hey - welcome to my life! I, of course am not pregnant - but was getting to the point, that stuff that was "safe" for me eat I would throw up! It sucks! I know how you feel! Hence why I am seeing a stomach specialist & had to do that milk test!!!
Hope you feel better! HUGS!

Oh Wow, that sounds awful - when's your next Dr app? It'd be interesting to hear if they have any helpful insights...
Stay hydrated....

Wow, that sounds rough. You sure it's pregnancy related, and not something like gastro?
-
I've never had a baby so I am not speaking from experience here but I can tell you that my mother had morning sickness with me right up until the day she delivered.
Aren't you glad you asked?
Man, I hope that doesn't happen to you.
I agree with Tara that you should make sure it's actually pregnancy-related and not something like the flu.

Yikes! I had over two months of that constant nauseas feeling, but I only threw up once randomly with no warning. I hope you get some relief soon! Maybe some medication will help?
-
If it continues for more than a couple days (stomach flu/food poisoning), called Toronto's Sick Kids "MotherRisk" nausea hotline. They were awesome when my nausea got so bad last time I wished I would miscarry again. Lots of great tips and ideas.

Sounds awful! I hope it's just a gastro thing and it's not going to stay with you.
Hugs!

Sorry to hear you're not keeping down your food. That sucks. I never had it that bad with either pregnancy, so I have no advice to offer ;(
