ickysicky, a pregnancy gripe

[jauncourt]

I'm sick. Morning, evening, afternoon and night. Everything, as of yesterday or the day before, now smells foul, some things taste okay, but I can't tell which they'll be by smelling them, and they change from day to day. All forms of nutrition now completely put me off. Yesterday, I managed to eat some nuts, a cup of broth, a sandwich made of chicken and cheese on wheat bread, some soy-chai-vanilla shake thing and a small part of dinner. Dinner, which was roast beef, a small potato, and several sauteed mushrooms, tasted as if it had been liberally soaked in maple syrup, which I despise.

I feel like a water ballon that's being vigorously shaken by a small, angry child. With an alka-seltzer tablet in it (I'm as gassy as if someone carbonated me). Lying down is uncomfortable, sitting is ...vile, standing is sort of okay, if the air is right. We won't even talk about sleeping.

Mom says it is a really good sign that I'm "Good and pregnant." Grandmother said that she was like this throughout one of her preganancies (Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Nooooooooooooooo!). I jsut hope I get a baby out of this, because if I go through this and miscarry....

Doctor appointment tomorrow. We'll see.

Sounds like you're eating well though....I ate lots of plain yogart with nuts, and fruit smoothies with banana, soy milk, protein powder and berries. I couldn't handle potatos, heavy sauces, spices, etc. For me it was dairy, fruit, breads, rice, simple stuff.

I am thinking about you...

I am really hoping this pregnancy goes safely and to term for you with no complications and no months-of-tummy sickness!

It will pass. With the wins I was sick like ten times a day for four months, but with Maja I didn't puke even every day and it got better after two months. But I was so sleepy I could have fallen asleep standing the first two months.
