Getting through month one!?

[PinkStars13]

oh boy, everything is one day at a time right now. Between the morning sickness, nausea, fatigue, food aversions, you name it - how have you been managing to keep up with life??

[siriuslydi]

I understand completely. I am at 10 weeks and have just wanted to die this past month. I used to eat really healthy but now the thought of vegetables or chicken makes me want to vomit.  I used to love cooking and eating good, healthy foods brought great joy to my life.  But now my life is all about survival. Getting through the work day,  finding food I can tolerate eating (which at this point is highly processed salty or fast food), and trying to accomplish the most basic of chores like laundry and ironing my work  outfits. Seriously all of that has seemed like such a huge feat that I've been thinking - what was I thinking? How will I ever have the energy for a baby? But then I'll have a couple hours where my energy is okay and I remember the woman I used to be.  What is so hard is that when just making it through each day is a major battle, all the good thoughts and excitement of having a baby are stolen from me. I'm just forging forward,  one day at a time, trusting that I'll get through this and that I'll actually be able to think about the upcoming joy soon rather than just my own suffering. Kind of like walking from your car to a far away building in the midst of a driving blizzard.

Oh you poor thing ]:
Nah I haven't really. Just sometimes I feel nauseous looking at something and someone at work made a coffee and I thought I was going to chuck lol.
I've just got the horrible stomach pains..I just kept telling myself it'll all be worth it in the end lol.

Food aversions, where do I start!? Lol I have tried everything to keep food down just to throw it up so basically everything I ate at the time, I avoid. It's hard to find things I still enjoy. how about you?

[TH89]

Yeah unfortunately I do ]: it decreased last week but it's become more frequent during the day-today I had it most of the day on and off. And there's really nothing you can do except let it pass. How long have you had your pains for vicki_tiana??
I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow and I really don't want it for another 3+ weeks lol.

[TH89]
