I feel like POOP!
By Sailorswife » Posted Jul. 30, 2015 8:41pm - 294 views - 6 comments
7 days ago, I vomited for the first time, and everyday since I have had nausea, heartburn/indegestion, loose stools, decreased appetite, light headedness, and one heck of a gag reflex (though I haven't vomited again, came close a lot, but kept it down). I've lost nearly 3 pounds, because I can't eat anything without feeling like I'll bring it back up, and finally cried about it yesterday. My poor husband has been neglected as I have zero sex drive. When will this be over? I don't remember it being this bad with either of my other two. Yes, I had "morning" sickness, and it was just that, only in the morning. We took a trip to Chincoteague Island yesterday to see the 90th Pony swim, and I couldn't even watch. I sat on a curb with my head down trying to eat crackers and drink water. I missed out on something I've always wanted to do since I was a little girl, and we planned this back in Feb, when my daughter learned about it and asked us to take her. I feel like I let my family down. I wouldn't let us go home, I stuck it out and sat in the distance where I could breath (standing in the crown in the heat almost made me faint, which is why I had to go sit on the curb away from everyone). I hope they still had somewhat of a good time, despite my nausea. I love this little one growing inside of me, and I hope this sickness goes away quickly so I can go back to enjoying nurturing my baby. On the bright side, we released our announcement to friends and family this week. I'll attach it below.

 | Comment from Amanda_McDaniel » Posted Aug. 1, 2015 8:08am Such a cute announcement and what a beautiful family! Minus the heartburn and the actual vomiting, we have the same symptoms. Up until yesterday, I was feeling okay thanks to anti-nausea pills. For some reason, they stopped being effective yesterday so I'm going to give them a rest and see if I can handle it or see if it helps them regain potency. I just reached nine weeks and I've heard rumors that nausea is supposed to lessen and usually disappears by the second trimester. Hopefully we and our husbands can manage that long... |
