Morning Sickness General Chatter #1

[forshelby]

This sucks!! I don't know how people go back for another baby after the first. I spent an hour going back and forth to the loo dry heaving last night before bed. DP ended up just getting me a bucket to put next to the bed. Then this morning after a piece of toast I spent half an hour dry heaving again but can't get anything up!! I just end up with a head ache
Now I'm just sitting in bed eating/probably wasting premium crackers and ginger ale. I'm only 6+0! I have a whole new respect for anyone with more than one child. I can't imagine being a mum and dealing with this feeling
Can't wait til this crap first bit is over...

I think we go back for more because we forget how brutal ms can be...

I got through that stage though, thankfully! The hardest things for me were smells at work (the mishmash of perfumes/cologne...... the fact that the lunchroom is right outside my office....) and getting up to tend to DS during the night. Oh, and that morning nappy....... a lot of mouth breathing was going on a few weeks ago lol.

Plus I think we 2nd (or more) timers have the advantage of knowing these phases pass, and how worth it these symptoms are.

I totally agree except that this time I didnt plan anything! MS was still to fresh in my mind from last year. I would take labour over MS anyday!! lol.. Having gone through it before, it is wonderful to know that it is worth it, and I think it really helps having something to focus on in looking after the kids. I am actually really thankful for school holidays, I am not getting much of a chance to dwell on how I feel, just have to keep going. I find it helps and i think it helps that this time around I am not wanting to avoid vomitting but rather would prefer to just get it over with so I can keep going.. And I have increased the kids pocket money and their "earning jobs" lol... so I am not doing everything- extra hands are wonderful!
Just fyi to ladies- I discovered lemon yesterday by accident actually jut thought I would try it- it is wonderful, really seems to help settle my stomach. Everthing is worth trying I reckon! lol if for no other reason but to distract us!
speaking of distraction- I have so mch housework to do! lol. Thinking of getting someone in to do it for me this week... lazy but i think worth it.
How are you all feeling today? Thinking of you all.

Hey all, I am really blergh today. Just been one of those days... And to top it off, we have just over a month left on our lease, then we are moving back into our own home. I am looking forward to moving back, but not looking forward to the packing etc...... Hopefully tomorrow will be better, I am planning on doing some sewing while DH takes the older two to a birthday party.

I hope you are all starting to feel a bit better

Hi girls, my ms has eased a great deal!! I can actually eat again, I'm even having cereal too I still feel a bit yucky after a meal and sometimes at night when I'm tired, but other than that it's a lot better.

Just wanted to give you all some hope lol
