So today marks the beginning of week 11 in this pregnancy. Yesterday I had myself convinced that I was really starting week 12, but after consulting WebMD’s pregnancy calendar, my hopes were dashed.
I am realllllly eager to get out of this first trimester. I’ve been trying to suck it up, but I’ve been feeling like crap. Not a lot of throwing up, thank goodness, just a ton of nausea and I’ve been so tired I could cry.
I don’t know who coined the phrase “morning sickness,” but I think it must have been a man. Every day I get fooled into thinking that I’m feeling ok and maybe there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.
Then 4 p.m. rolls around, and I’m sending an IM to Jenny that says something along the lines of “I’m dying.”
I don’t know why, but I feel so much worse in the late afternoon/evening, which is just lovely seeing as how that’s the time I have to spend with my family. I’d rather feel awful at work and get it over with!
I really don’t remember this happening last time, and I don’t know the best way to deal with it… so I’m turning to you!
Do you have any tricks on keeping the nausea at bay? Any tips to get me through the evening?
And please, please, someone reassure me that this is going to get better soon!!
Eleven down, 29 to go. Ugh, that is depressing!
