The Ultimate Betrayal: a nausea nightmare story

I really can't tell you when the last time I had cookie butter was since I live nowhere near a Trader Joe's and I never thought to look for a different brand of the stuff. Well, yesterday I made a trip to Wal-Mart and remembered we were out of almond butter. As my eyes scanned the shelves, they finally found it. Not the almond butter, COOKIE BUTTER. Of course I snatched it up & grabbed a bag of apples to enjoy with it.
Around 2am, I caved into the growling tummy and decided I'd finally enjoy my favorite snack, apple slices & cookie butter. Everything about this moment was great. The apple was great, the cookie butter was great, every single bite was great. What wasn't great was the amount of betrayal my stomach drowned me in 20 min later. I quickly ran to the bathroom & lost it all. Of all the things my stomach could develop an aversion to, why this? Why this one precious snack? Maybe I'll give this another shot. Maybe my timing was off. Maybe I shouldn't have laid down right after eating. All I can do now is hope that this never happens again. If it does, I'm not sure how I'll survive these last 3 weeks of pregnancy but I suppose I'll get through it somehow.

Re: The Ultimate Betrayal: a nausea nightmare story
I feel like my body has betrayed me through this entire pregnancy. This last week has been pretty awful and my mom decided to make homemade chocolate chip cookies. She kept sending me stuff like "just out of the oven cookies are the best!" And then sent pics. It hurt me just a little. I'm hoping the next 6 weeks go by quickly for me because I am beyond over being sick all the time.
I totally get your feeling betrayed. With my son I had food a versions to all of my favorite foods - cheese, eggs, mac and cheese, shrimp and crab are on the short list. I almost started to hate pizza And I LOVE pizza. 3 years later I'm barely able to eat these things but at least not i dont get violently I'll after 10 bites.
This time I can only eat fruit, salads and the occasional steak or chicken (ps I'm meat free!) because things as simple as vegetable soup make me feel like I'm dying. Hopefully I can eat my favorite things as soon as they pop out bc I can't take it anymore.
