I haven't blogged in a while. Mostly because I am always feeling sick. I have not thrown up, but I always feel nauseated. I've actually lost weight because I can't eat anything.
I started writing a post and got 3 paragraphs of extreme pessimistic whining about how terrible I feel. Then I tried to change tactics and be extremely optimistic and talk about how excited I am to be a mom and try to come up with some positive goals as New Year's resolutions.
Neither of these situations is entirely true. I am not fully incapacitated and miserable, but with the amount of crying I have been doing lately, I cannot pretend that I am extremely happy.
I've reached a writer's block and I do not know how long it will last. So until then, I probably will not be posting.

I felt exactly the same way my first trimester. The best advice I got was: eat anyway, no matter what it is or how sick you feel. Then eat again before you start feeling sick again. It seemed so counterintuitive because the LAST thing I felt like doing was eating, but once I got something in my stomach and kept munching throughout the day it helped tons! I kept a box of saltine crackers on the nightstand and ate a little before I even got out of bed, then kept granola bars and poptarts with me all day. Sucking on peppermints helped with the nausea, too.
ReplyDeleteI hope you find something that works for you and that you start feeling better soon!
I am so sorry! I have to agree with the last comment. When I was pregnant, it helped to eat crackers to keep the nausea at bay. I kept some on my nightstand too so first thing in the morning I could get something in my stomach fast! Good luck, and hopefully you'll be like most pregnant women and get over the nausea around the end or your first trimester!
