Last week was week 9 and it was a nightmare. I was home sick from work for 4 days then still ill all weekend! I came back to work this week and am still really struggling to keep a float.
My appetite sucks but I must eat something to stop the ill feeling from hunger and the heartburn. I have a constant bad taste in my mouth and brush my teeth and tongue throughout the day to try to stop the feeling but of course, that causes gagging and throwing up. I can barely drink anything as I feel nauseous thinking about move liquids. Today I am craving a Shirley Temple! It is that and water only.
I am so completely exhausted that after some semblance of dinner, I shower (because I am just too tired to do it at 6 am) and go to bed by 8 or 9 pm. Each morning I wake, hoping I have slept off the ill/hung over feeling and every morning it is still there!
I also feel now that the anxiety of wondering if I will still be feeling this way when I return home to Winnipeg is making it even worse. I want to escape the bad feeling so badly but I simply cannot.
So, being this sick really took away from the good news we received last week at our first ultrasound. All looked well, baby is in correct place, we saw the heartbeat and the age is on track with what I calculated which gives us an official due date of April 22, 2011. Yes, great news but at this point April and the dream of feeling better are a lifetime away. :(
So for right now- not excited at all about this!
