As I complained just a few days ago, I still don’t feel pregnant. No sore breasts, no morning sickness. Last night I was reading about morning sickness, and read that it tends not to affect people until they are 6 weeks pregnant (from LMP). I was exactly 5 weeks yesterday, so I decided to stop worrying about it and just enjoy the fact that I feel good.
Oh, the irony. I woke up last night feeling AWFUL—nauseated, upset stomach, etc. I was up a fair bit of the night and still felt terrible in the morning. My husband went out and got me crackers and ginger ale, and I spent the morning in bed. (My son collected all of his doctor’s things by my bedside—and a toy saw, in case I needed surgery—to take care of me.) I have not actually vomited yet, although I suspect I would feel better if I did.
I started to feel better in the late morning. Maybe the ginger ale and crackers helped. This study suggests that ginger really does help, without risk to the developing baby:
Blech. I know I should be happy that this is an indication that my HCG and progesterone are rising and that my pregnancy is progressing. And I mostly am. But being sick sucks.
