Holy Morning Sickness!
While pregnant with my son, who is now four, I never experienced morning sickness. I had some slight nausea at night but that was pretty much the extent of it. This time around is completely different! From about 4 weeks on Ive been experiencing all day nausea. My doctor suggested to me that I try taking ginger root capsules as a natural way to keep the nausea under control and they've been working really well! I'm now 6 weeks 3 days. I found out three days after my husband left for his 6 month deployment that we are expecting. Every night since he left I've been in and out of sleep to text him while he's working since we don't get to talk much but tonight was different. I woke up around 2:30 am and started to text him. Got up to go to the bathroom, noticed I was nauseas so I grabbed a Gatorade out of the refrigerator and laid back down. Still not back to sleep at 4am and nausea is in full swing so I sit up to take one of my ginger capsules to get the nausea under control and no sooner do I sit up, and I start gagging. I grabbed my Gatorade and ran to the bathroom. Morning sickness is NO JOKE. It's not your stomach flu heave 4 or 5 times and done. It's ten straight minutes with your head in the toilet. Once I was done with my date in the bathroom I messaged my husband to let him know I that I love him dearly but I cursed his name the whole time I was staring into the porcelain thrown. Hopefully this doesn't last my whole pregnancy like it did for my mother while she was pregnant with me. Definitely ready to be done with my first trimester! 😷
