I hate food at the moment. I seem to spend so much of my time occupied with thoughts of what I can possibly stomach to eat. The trouble is I crave something one day and then vomit it up and then can't stand the thought of it again. I seem to be going off everything and I am really struggling to think of food items that I can eat (especially for lunches at work). It used to be so easy to pop out for a nice filled roll or something equally healthy but you don't realise how few options you have until you aren't allowed things and I don't want to live on a diet of pies and cheeseburgers (ugh!). I just can't handle the thought of food right now whatsoever. And I don't want to be at work as for some reason my work environment really increases my morning sickness and I spend all 5 days of the working week feeling absolutely miserable. Of course I am thrilled to be pregnant but I am just so drained. Does it make sense to be happy and miserable at the same time?
Make perfect sense! I remember when I was in the first tri, thinking "I wanted to get pregnant so bad....but I didn't ask for this!!!"
ReplyDeleteAs someone who had all day sickness until I gave birth, my only advice is when you find something you like, just eat that. So it's not healthy... Babies seem to be remarkable resilient as I ate only Le Snak's and chili noodles for 5 solid months and my daughter doesn't seem to have horns :-)
ReplyDeleteoh you poor darling. hello baby gods, she has battled infertility for 3 years lay off the morning sickness!!!!
ReplyDelete2 minute noodles were what got me through the working week during my first trimester. There seems to be so much you can't eat that they seemed like a good option to me. I used to have salad everyday, but that just did not fill me up even a little bit. Also, we were so paranoid about what I ate that we didn't think salad made in the morning, but not eaten until lunchtime was a safe option - yes probably far too over the top, but we had waited so long, we didn't want to do anything wrong...does seem a bit silly now though :) Just do whatever works for you, your baby will take what it needs from you anyway.
ReplyDeleteOoooh! Hopefully it will settle!
ReplyDeleteahh sweetie - I'm feeling for you hun. It's miserable hey... but 9 weeks means hopefully only 3 more weeks of feeling blurk (It'll be gone in time for Christmas!) and then you can start to enjoy things like actually looking pregnant!!! AFM I've got the nausea but not puked yet.. and my midwife mum says 'don't worry about what you're eating' whatever you can keep down is ok.. just keep nibbling all day (I'm eating cherries now!) cause I find if I get the slightest bit hungry then it's all downhill. Had lemonade yesterday and that was great to sip on slowly. I look forward to your update when you say 'it's gone!' cause then I'll be only 3wks bhind you! xxx
ReplyDeleteHi there! I'm in the same boat, due July 11th. Luckily I got on Zofran or else everything would be coming back up. But I still feel yucky all the time. I've lived on tangerines and white bread the past couple days. Figure out what you can stomach and live on it - your baby will be just fine.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you are feeling the sickness. I'm thankful that I work from home which will make the misery much more bearable, come the time I get to face it.
ReplyDeleteI just gave you a blog award.
Hey Jessica, I'm due July 11th too! I completely agreee with all of you, especially the part about being miserable day and night. It definitely is worse at work for whatever reason.. I have no advice to give, just that you are not alone :)
ReplyDeleteI felt exactly the same! I actually lost weight at first. I felt bad for about 5 months, so I'm just now starting to gain weight. But the baby grew just fine, so your body will tell you when you're ready!
ReplyDeleteIt would confound my mom and hubby - something that stayed down fine one day would be completely awful the next!
It's so frustrating that things are so difficult for you. I wish that you could just bask in your pregnancy and sail along happily. Hopefully your stomach should settle down in a few weeks.
