6w2d Update

Just stopping in for a quick update. I have been lucky/unlucky enough to be in the full throes of Teh Sickyness. Yuck. Some days have been worse than others though and I'm grateful for that. TMI, but I have been "blessed" with the full trifecta of ick: Diarrhea, Cramps and Nausea/Vomiting.

Gotta love the weird food aversion too. So. Much. Fun.

I have tried taking Pepto pills (Doc said it was ok), and while they seemed to ease the nausea, they caused TERRIBLE cramps and shits for days *shudder*.

I tried Zantac which didn't make any difference at all. I felt fine with it one minute and the next minute I'm hugging my trashcan (yes, in my office. It blows and so do I. HA.)

I have tried keeping food in my tummy, but all that seems to do is make it worse. Not to mention that I think my metabolism has actually sped up a great deal because I seem to need to eat every stinkin hour at the latest. Combine that with the poopy issues and it's just an all-around party.

The good news is that today I feel pretty good, just minor crampy/aches so far and I have a 7 week ultrasound scheduled for Weds and then I am officially graduated to the OB, with an OB appointment at 8 weeks.

Fingers will remain permanently crossed that things continue to go "well."

  1. Sounds like you have a sense of humour about it all anyway! Have you thought about vitamin B6...it made quite the difference for me...
