Exhilaration and exhaustion, agony and ecstasy. These are the words that describe best what I'm going through and feeling at the moment. I found out quite early that I was pregnant, I think I was about 3weeks or so and I had no feelings of nausea or anything close to that and therefore I thought I'd be part of the 'lucky' 10% of the women in this world that don't experience any of the symptoms related to morning sickness or what I call the whole day sickness because it strikes you at any given time night or day.
And then it hit me like a bulldozer smashing down high sky scrapers. I was halfway into my 4th week when I woke up one morning went on with business as usual when suddenly I felt a strange queazyness in my stomach and guess where I ended up... in the bathroom almost hugging the toilet in desperation. From then on my life as never been the same. I have constant nausea and horrible heartburn that I could spit fire and there's ABOSLUTELY NOTHING I can do about it.
Everything that everybody precribes just doesn't do the trick, it's like trail and error every single day. What works today won't necesarily help tomorrow. They say that when your baby is eventually born amnesia kicks in and makes you forget about all the horrible things you went through during pregnancy and so you have more children and you go through it again. I hope my amnesia kicks in pretty soon because at this rate one child is quite enough. Don't get me wrong, I have my good days and days when I just want to die. On the bad days, even staying in bed doesn't provide relief, because I feel as horryd lying down as I do standing up.
Generally this should all go away after the 3month mark and they say it's like a magical feeling the day you wake up brush your teeth without activating the gag reflex and get dressed without having to pause to put your head in the toilet. I am eagerly anticipating that day!!
He/She is growing so fast its unbelievable. This was the best shot we could get because he/she was constantly moving around in my womb. This scan shows our bambino at 12wks and 3days. All the organs are now developed with hands, fingers and legs and everything looks good. I'm not yet passed the nausea and morning sickness but hopefully its coming to an end very soon. I'll be going into my second trimester so things should get easier, I pray.
