I need some advice. Emotionally.. I am doing pretty good. I am so happy that we are finally pregnant, I am thrilled beyond belief about that.
But I have never b een this physically miserable in my life. I am going to bed early and getting lots of sleep..but I am exhausted all day to the point where I forget what I am doing because I end up staring blankly in front of me. I am nauseated almost all day, and never puke. I just dry heave horribly until I cough up mucus and choke, and it feels like if I could just throw up I would feel better but I can't.
I am always tired and always sick feeling, and I keep telling myself the first trimester won't last forever... but it feels like it is and I am starting to get scared that this will continue through the whole pregnancy. I don't have energy to concentrate at work, and I spend most of my day trying not to start heaving at the till.
My first midwifery appointment is on the 24th.. I went to the pharmacist and asked if they could get out the big pregnancy/nursing book and see if there was anything safe. She told me I need to stop drinking so much ginger because the ginger can cause miscarriage. I know I am not supposed to be drinking caffeine either..I have maybe one coffee a week and I don't drink soda... I just need something to help me get through the day.
