Motherhood - First Trimester

First Trimester

Taking vitamins right before my breakfast is a ritual that I have been following since few years. That particular morning, I threw up. I did not know what was going on but I knew something is different for sure because I would never never throw up until I am really sick. Only a week after would I know that we are expecting our second baby.

I have heard people commenting that it is a psychological phenomenon to throw up while pregnant. I am the living proof to prove that that statement wrong. It definitely is the hormones working up your body and there is nothing much you can do about it.  Inspite of enlightening me with tips like Ginger, salt crackers, Zofran prescriptions, nothing helped.

Then, How did I survive it? I slept through it. I could not take out the metallic taste or the nauseous feeling out. So, I just used to take unisom and sleep through till late afternoon so I could avoid the sick feeling to some extent. I did lose some pounds. I survived on a single piece of idli once in the morning and once in the night.

It is common to miss the due excitement being so sick.Take it easy.
