Well I was doing good until...

Apparently mexican food is not my friend during this pregnancy. My partner and I went to grab mexican because for the last week all I have wanted was steaks, sesame chicken and mexican food. Everything else just didn't seem appealing and I could hardly bring myself to eat any other food.

I was great till about 30 minutes before bed, then I just started having horrible stomach pain and nausea. If Ben tried kissing me or even touching near my stomach I would almost puke. Needless to say, zofran was my life saver last night.

Now I can honestly say that I never have any morning sickness really. I've maybe gotten sick to my stomach 3-4 times before I found out I was pregnant but not much after that and it was always at night. Maybe it was due to the fact that my body is used to being awake at night more from 2 years of working night shifts with EMS?

And is it normal to not really have morning sickness? The worst I get is that I avoid food (which is not normal, I usually love ALL food), and I can't eat a lot at one sitting anymore. Togo boxes are lifesavers!

As for other symptoms as a side note, its been just exhaustion and a little bit of irritability. I can't walk around walmart or even walk the dog without getting worn out and having to sit down for a bit (dizziness and inability to stand up anymore). I also can't stay awake to 3 or 4 am in the morning and get up at 7am anymore. My eyes automatically shut at 10pm or so now. So odd.

Anyone else going through this stuff?

    I haven't gotten morning sickness at all, knock on wood I haven't thrown up once. But I do get nauseated and really bad indejestion (especially after mexican food) and it feels worse burping up food than puking. My doctor said everything looks great, just that some women have different symptoms. As for cravings, I think my baby is Italian because all I want is Italian food!!

    I got "evening" sickness. I was fine in the mornings but by about 5 or 6 pm I had to just go to bed because i was soo sick! I did the same thing with my last pregnancy. It is nice to be able to work all day and feel relativtly good. I just had to tell my boss no more evening shifts for a while.

    Morning sickness is a misnomer for sure. With my first pregnancy, I would only throw up after dinner.

    Everything you're experiencing - nausea that comes and goes, food cravings and aversions, fatigue, and being overly emotional or irritable are entirely normal.

    I'm using that post and showing my partner this- haha! Maybe then he'll understand why I fall asleep on him or can't stand certain food that I used to love. Thank you and thanks to all of you guys!

    Ive been lucky so far too...hopefully it lasts! No m/s at all, however I too find that I can only eat a bit at a time & that i am having aversions to certain foods. This seems to change day by day, so i just try and eat whatever is working that particular day and multiple small meals to make sure I am eating enough. Im usually not picky at all and eat large meals just twice a day, so long to that! As so the energy thing...I am pretty much useless lol ive been sleeping 12hr nights the past few weeks easily and still exhausted by 9pm.
