Actually, that's not entirely true. Yes, nausea has begun as of week 7, which I am pretty excited about, but it is not what I expected. I do not feel like throwing up, really. It's more of a dull sick feeling that lasts all day and night at a constant level. Actually, it's most annoying at night because when I get up to pee in the middle of the night, I feel it right away and then I can't fall asleep because it's always there nagging me.
I sometimes think that I've lost my appetite because thinking about pretty much any food makes me gag a little. But as soon as I put the food that is least disgusting at the moment in my mouth, it tastes great, and I finish the whole thing. In fact, just now I ate my entire lunch at only 9:30am even though I continue to feel this constant sickness.
I suspect it might get a lot worse in the next few weeks, which is both scary and exciting. I didn't feel any nausea with my first pregnancy which ended around week 8, so this is encouraging. I wonder though if this is what it's like for other people... google here I come!
I've been experiencing exactly the same symptoms and I am in my 15th week now. It is exactly as you describe it - not throwing up but constant feeling in my stomach and sometimes in my throat. Food aversions are the worst!!!
ReplyDeleteI really do think that this one is sticking around with you for the whole 9 months. Congrats!!!
the nausea kicked my butt- all day, all night! I was however grateful that I had a daily, hourly, reminder that I was pregnant which helped with my sanity.
ReplyDeletesmall meals, lots of small meals!
I also had that constant, background nausea rather than the full-fledged vomit-fest until about week 13. I only actually vomited once. So pleased that things are going well!
