PREGNANCY. NAUSEA & MORNING SICKNESS: THINGS THAT HELPED ME!
I was (I’m) lucky in my pregnancies to never suffer any of the common ailments of late pregnancy, to have had straightforward births and to have recovered relatively quickly postpartum.
However, morning sickness got me every single time, and it was a doozy. From about 5 or 6 weeks into the pregnancy to the 12 or 14-week mark, I felt what I can only describe (and believe me, I’ve TRIED several times to describe it to my husband to give him a sense of how it feels!) as a combination of motion sickness and a bad hangover. Blehh!
In my first pregnancy with David, the pregnancy sickness set in straight away. At first, I thought I had the flu – I felt nauseous and dizzy and tired ALL DAY LONG (wasn’t ‘morning sickness’ only something you felt in the morning?). Even typing about it now makes me recall the feeling. Bleh again!
The same happened now, with my 3rd pregnancy when I found myself HAVING an afternoon nap (I’m not a person who takes nap normally), every single day and I would sleep for 1 to 2 hours (!) every day in these first weeks of my pregnancy. Otherwise, I would not be able to go through the afternoon, I felt so much tired…
