Nosebleeds, headaches and nausea...oh my!!! This pregnancy is definitely different then with Ethan. The nausea has been slowly building over the past few days. No matter what I eat, nothing seems to help. However, waiting too long between meals definitely makes it worse. Thankfully it's not to the point of making me hurl but I don't hardly have the strength or energy to do anything. I'm so glad playing with trucks, doing ABC flash cards or watching TV can all be done while laying down. I was so hopeful that I wouldn't be affected by it mainly so it wouldn't interfere with being a mom. When I was pregnant with Ethan the nausea was so mild and was mainly triggered by smells. I have cut back on my eating but only because nothing sounds good. Peanut butter crackers and jello are my go to snacks because it seems like one or the other always taste good. I started taking B6, since it's supposed to help with the nausea. I've only been taking it for 2 days so hopefully it kicks in within the next week. I really don't want to add the unisom because I'm already so tired and there would be no way I could function with that in my system.
The nosebleeds are something completely new for me. They are so random...I don't get it. I don't like dealing with blood anyway so they are not helping with the nausea at all!! Then the headaches kicked in last night. I hate headaches enough as it is when nothing else is bothering me, now they are just pissing me off. I'm like..."REALLY...now this too"!!
I'm amazed the difference my body is handling this pregnancy with just the 3 short years it's been since my pregnancy with Ethan. It really is true what they say...mid thirties brings on a whole new ball game on how your body deals with things. I will survive and I've said it before...it's only temporary. Hopefully temporary in the sense of just a few short weeks (aka 6, which will put me into the 2nd trimester) and not in the sense of temporary like 33 weeks. Either way, I'll get through it and it will be worth in the end. At this point, it's just confirming that my body is doing what it needs to do for a healthy pregnancy...and that I am ok with.
