Please go away, Morning Sickness!

Thursday, March 19, 2009

My morning sickness has been killing me! I knew I was going to get morning sickness as soon as I found out I was pregnant, because I’m normally sensitive to motion sickness, car rides, etc. Literally days after I found out I was pregnant, my nausea started. For over a month, it was just constant annoying nausea. Then around my 10th week for about 3-4 days I had nothing. I started to think I was getting all better then BAM! It came back full force with vomiting that next day. It was so bad I couldn’t even make it into work that day. Ever since then, the vomiting started and I’ve been vomiting almost every morning (about 5 out of 7 days). Most mornings, as soon as I get up from bed, I go straight to the bathroom to vomit. It’s bad because there’s nothing to vomit except for that yellow acidy stuff (sorry TMI).

I went to my doctor’s appointment this week and told my doctor about it. He prescribed me this prescription prenatal vitamin called Premesis. He said it helps a lot of his patients with morning sickness. I took my first dose last night but I’m still nauseous this morning, although, I did not vomit today. I’m praying that this works. I also got some new advice from my unni. She said her friend sucked on lemon slices and drank organic pregnancy tea. At this point, I am willing to try anything so I will be going out to get some today. Buy Buy Baby also sells preggo pops, which are lollipops that you can suck on for morning sickness. I’m going to try those as well. If you have any other suggestions, please let me know. I still eat crackers and nuts everyday….and no more ginger for me. I’ve sucked on so much ginger that I don’t even want to ever see ginger again.

This pregnancy has been so hard and at times really horrible, but I am still so thankful for this experience. I feel so blessed to be able to go through this and know that my baby is growing healthy. I know I can take anything as long as I know I will be gifted with a healthy baby at the end. Although it’s hard, I have to admit I’m loving every minute of this pregnancy. Just looking at my ultrasound pics makes everything a whole lot better. I can’t wait to meet this baby!
