Symptom Check-in - Week 5?

Oh the joy, the joy! Tuesday is our dating ultrasound, so the question marks on weeks will disappear and the symptom posts will be more regular.

Beginning with my last check-ins symptoms, followed by new stuff!

• Acid reflux
• Lightheadedness
• Getting breathless going up the stairs
• Backache
• Very nearly Puking…no longer very nearly.
• Having a severe aversion to the smell of cooking beef. Could it smell any worse?!?
• Feeling as if I have the flu, complete with sneezing, runny nose and sore throat.
• Consitpation still exists but is on a timetable. I’m constipated for three days, then have diarrhea. Lovely.
• Constant thirst leading to…
• Half my day spent peeing or needing to pee
• Bloating, like on a period only much, much worse.
• Gas! Oh my Lord, the gas….
• Being so dead tired I’m already ready to go to bed and I only awoke 4.5 hours ago.
• Morning sickness….morning freaking sickness.

I’m convinced they call in morning sickness because it starts at 12:01am and ends and 12:00:59am. The nausea never ends. The only way to keep it at bay is by eating, constantly. Anyone who tells you saltines work, is lying. THEY’RE LYING! They only make you more nauseous, more thirsty, and, therefore, having to pee more often. Bananas, however, do work. I’m eating about 4 a day. They have a high level of B6 in them, which is what I’m convinced is keeping everything at bay. I also tried taking a B6 when waking up this morning, and today’s been a really good day. So, I’m hoping I found another weapon in the fight against Morning-noon-afternoon-evening-night sickness. I’m not sure I can put up with another 7 weeks of this, and that’s only if things go well. Otherwise, I may be feeling this way the next 7.5 months. You can knock me out if that happens.

Actually, you can knock me out starting now. Really, go for it….I’ll pay you….
