11 Weeks Along

Had the 11 week ultrasound - isn't he or she cute!!!!

The ick should get better soon - at least the nausea and loss of appetite. I read that headaches and dizzyness actually get stronger - fabulous. The nausea lessens because as of right around now, the uterus/placenta are now producing their own hormones, so mine will be getting less and less crazy. Not sure why the headaches get stronger. My guess is that it has something to do with my blood workings. I will have to look into that.

Told my boss too. I thought it would be necessary having had one Dr appt on a Wed, another the following Friday, and another at the end of the month. She was very happy for us. She also let me know that I can take my pace and time in the morning, because I have been very good about always finishing my work on time. Phew!

The Ick

The ick started right after I began my 7th week. It started with increased indigestion, constipation and a little nausea, then slowly became full fledged indigestion, constipation and nausea, with a little bit of food aversion and appetite loss. You quickly figure out what you can and cannot stomach. In my 11th week now, the loss of appetite and overall aversion to most food is the worst. It leaves me hungry, but feeling like anything I put in my stomach will create a worse reaction. My Dr. says the worst is 7-10 weeks and that I should start feeling better soon; I hope she is right. She recommended eating small meals, anytime my stomach doesn't hurt. Also, she mentioned that watermelon is good for nausea, so we bought a giant one right after our appointment.

Lets hope I feel better soon, before I drive myself and the hubs (more) nuts!
