It is well known that with morning sickness there is a chance of vomiting. No, pregnant woman hopes for vomiting with their morning sickness. I was hoping for mild morning sickness with no nausea, but you've got to expect the worse, just in case.
For weeks I had on and off nausea, some days where really bad, some days almost none at all. I felt very proud of myself because I had held myself together. As the days went on the nausea got worse and worse. There had been a few moments where I had to completely stop moving, close my eyes, and just breathe slowly and have someone get me some water. But still no vomiting yet...
Then on September 2nd Derek and I sat down for breakfast, I had a blueberry poptart and was eating it watching the news. I got about half way through, took another bite, and then the nausea hit full force. I had to clench my jaw (with poptart still in my mouth) and close my eyes. I was trying to focus on my breathing but that heaving feeling started up. I tried to just breathe and calm down, but it kept happening. At that moment Derek looked over at me and said, "Please don't throw up." I handed him my plate and dashed to the bathroom. As soon as I knelt down I lost it! Vomiting is one of the most wretched things a body can do!
While throwing up Derek came to the door, I asked him if he could bring me some water. His smart response was "There's water right in front of you!" Oh that husband of mind! I didn't find it funny at the time but now that the moment has past it is kind of funny.
I am pretty sure that it was just the artificial fruit flavoring that caused me to become ill. My older sister had that issue when she was pregnant.
About a week later I got sick again. This time I had eaten some multi-grain Cheerio's. I ate them because I was trying to be healthy for the morning and look how that turned out!!
The first time I felt pretty much fine after I stopped vomiting, but the second time I felt sick all day. It was a rough, long day.
I am honestly fine with this nausea and the vomiting, as long as we get a healthy baby to love and raise.
