June 1st
I am 7 weeks 3 days pregnant today and weighed 157.0
I feel like crap again today. This morning sickness is really kicking my butt. I’m not throwing up but eating is practically painful. Cooking is just awful. Everything makes me gag…the smell of food…the smell of water….air….Ive sort of relented to eating whatever seems palatable at the moment…usually after the first bite I’m gagging again and cannot tolerate another bite. Fluids are becoming more difficult to ingest. Plain water is absolutly a no-no now. Even ice water I cannot stand. Soda seems to be the only thing that doesn’t make me gag, but it must be very very cold. Speaking has become a little difficult as I try not to gag as I talk. Ive noticed myself taking funny deep breaths to try and stop myself from gagging. But there is a little comfort in all of this misery, having morning sickness is a good sign that the baby is strong and growing. Morning sickness is caused by a combination of hormones and lack of blood volume. Now if you have no morning sickness it doesn’t mean there is a problem, it just means you are lucky!
