Wow, where has the past 2 mo of my life gone? One minute I find out I'm pregnant the next I'm on house arrest (not really), but that's how it has felt! I thought I knew the meaning of morning sickness with baby #1, but no I was wrong. At least then I was functional, went to work, drove my car, showered! This nausea was horrific, wouldn't wish it on my worse enemy. I tried everything in the book to curve it and I finally had to break down and get some meds from the Dr., and they haven't been the miracle pills everyone said they were. Yes I stopped vomiting but still nauseous, weak, dizzy, loss of appetite, losing weight, 15 lbs to be exact! Not that I couldn't had spared an extra 15 but its not a healthy way to go about it.
So on approaching 12 wks this weekend today was my first day of feeling relatively not awful. Hopefully that is a sign that its all hormone related and once that magic 2nd trimester starts I am in the clear. These meds are making me so constipated, not that I needed any help on that front. With some over the counter assistance I addressed that problem today as well. Hopefully if I can get regular again it will also make me feel more like a human and less like a zombie.
I want to drive again, haven't in 6 weeks. Haven't gone shopping, played outside with my family, etc. The only good thing about that is I have hopefully missed the Atlanta pollen season:) Hopefully this entry will be a step in the right direction in my road to feeling better. I want to share all my pregnancy experiences with you all and although there hasn't been much to say I will catch you up on some the ins and outs of morning sickness and 1st trimester blunders. Stay Tuned....
