This morning I spent a full 45 minutes with no nausea. I know, I know. It's hard to believe, especially given how miserable I've been over the last few days, but it's true. The trick, it appears, is being in a swimming pool.
I was really nervous about going to Kathryn's swimming lesson--so nervous I convinced my mom to come watch in case I had to jump out quickly and needed someone to take Kathryn. It was our first lesson since my nausea has really set in. We couldn't go on Tuesday because neither one of us could breathe with our awful allergies. Instead we both went to the doctor. I got a fantastic recommendation of Sudafed, while Kathryn actually got a prescription for Zyrtec. Needless to say, after two days, she's feeling much better than I am.
Anyway, so we went to her lesson and I fully thought I'd be sick right in the middle of it, but I actually felt pretty good most of the time. Except, of course, when Kathryn had a fit about kicking while on her back and twisted around and started kneeing me in the stomach. That brought on just a bit of queasiness, but not so much that there was a problem.
Now you might think that I just got lucky for a few minutes and that the pool had nothing to do with it. You might be right. But, in the pool's defense, by the time we got to the locker room--a full two minute's walk at most--I was nauseous again.

unfortunately my sister is much more sick this time around, too.
now go slam a bottle of mylanta supreme.
What? Sarah's pregnant? When is she due?
christmas eve. she's just a little bit in front of lindsay.
i am a lot sicker this time. party i think it's from being overly active with Josh.
oh yes, i love mylanta, tums, and sitting very still. but that never happens so mostly i just love my mylanta. vitamin b-6 is supposed to help. i am going to try that...
B-6? Isn't that in my prenatal vitamin already? Okay. I'll look into that. And the Mylanta. I'm actually feeling a little better (knock on wood). As long as it's one or the other--nausea or allergies--I can handle it. It's when they both hit that I want to scream. Of course, the added force of that would probably send me straight to the bathroom...
congrats,Sarah! One day this will be a distant memory.
I think Meg took B-6. If you take a B-complex in addition to the prenatal, the B-12 is supposed to help w/ energy too.
i took a lot of stuff:
a) rx zofran
b) rx repliva prenatal
c) b6 + unisom
d) gallons and gallons of propel
e) no food. ever. haha
no, unfortunately i am serious.
wow.
i just did the vernors and i ate. and ate. a lot.
want to hear something hilarious? with both of my kids, i was still at or below my pre-pregnancy weight at 24 weeks (i was really sick) but i managed to gain 27 pounds with ky and 26 with tegan in the next 14 weeks.
talk about expansion.
when i could finally eat, i did eat, and then i ate a lot. i had approximately 500 missed meals to make up for.
