Thanks for the reply Tracey, it's been a while since I posted this one...We've had some good days since then but still have bad days & she's often complaining of nausea, still usually first thing in the morning, or at night when she's getting tired.
I've been really paying attention to what's going on in our lives when she's not feeling well, I think when we haven't spent much one-on-one time together she gets quite anxious. I'm trying to just have some quiet time with her every evening & giving her lots of reassurance.
I don't think it's the physical changes of puberty just yet (God forbid!!), she's not showing any signs of little boobies or anything! But I do think as kids start to grow up they feel stress/pressure to fit in amongst the "cool" kids & to have a boyfriend (yes, even at 9 yrs old!!!) & wear the right clothes etc & plus there's always little tiffs with young girls, they can be right b$#%&'s.
Maybe she's just feeling a little vulnerable at the moment & needs some extra TLC. I've also been encouraging her to have friends stay over & then organise movies & popcorn & stuff, she loves that.
So we'll see how things go, thanks for your concern
Geez, it helps so much to have you ladies to turn to!
