About a week ago I was thinking maybe I wasn't going to have any m/s this time around. Then I thought, oh maybe I just have a mild case. Boy was I wrong. It just took a while to get here, but now it's making up for lost time. My weekend was miserable and so is today. OMG, I don't know how to deal with feeling like I can't move from one spot and taking care of a toddler, too. Seriously, in my last pregnancy, I said I was never doing this again. Tell me this is going to be over soon. Based on last time, I have 4+ more weeks of this. And I've only had it (in force) for about 4 days...uuuuuuuugh!!!!!!
Sorry, I just had to vent. I'm very thankful for a successful pregnancy so far. But I feel AWFUL.
Re: jinxed myself...and Nest ate my post
Oh hon - I know how you feel! I was miserable from weeks 6-10. I feel so much better now, but I still have my moments. It was so hard to take care of Paige some days.
I had to let things go. I HAD to lay down and nap during her nap, or I would feel even worse. So the laundry didn't get folded and the house didn't get vacuumed.
I am slowly thinking I'm getting the second-tri energy boost, but some days are still a challenge.
Have you had your first u/s yet?
Yep, I've already had two and will have my third on Friday. Everything looks good so far.
I am definitely laying down for every nap, and I've been relying heavily on DH. He took DS to his dentist appt this morning so I could go back to bed for 45 minutes.
At least I've figured one thing out that I hadn't last pregnancy... Protein makes me feel horrible, which is why I always felt even worse after eating. I've figured out that if I snack on something that is JUST a carb, I feel slightly better for a short while. At least it's something... I fear medicating.
hugs, T! I hope you feel better soon!
After 12 weeks of m/s, and constant weight loss, I finally asked for zofran at about 19 weeks pregnant with E, and omg, what a difference! I still puked once or twice a day, but it was so much less than before and the overall feeling of nausea was mostly gone
