I have been having days recently where I have been feeling okay. Definitely not 100%, but not too bad. I (stupidly) thought maybe I was over the worst of it. Nope. Instead, in the past two days my morning sickness has ramped up and I think is worse than before! I hope it's a sign baby is growing heaps or something... that thought is the only thing letting me hold onto my sanity.
Two days ago (Thursday) I spewed not long after I got up. I'd had breakfast and then the fridge smell set me off. I felt a little better after, and then a headache set in and I just felt awful all the rest of the day. I had no energy, I napped on and off all day, I did nothing. In the evening I attempted baked beans for tea, and even though they tasted okay, after a few mouthfuls I had to run off for another spew. At least I felt a bit better after that and actually felt okay in the evening.
Yesterday we made the mistake of going away for a day trip to Pyengana. I woke feeling okay, so thought we'd be right to go. But I quickly started not feeling so good, and the drive out there must be one of the windiest roads in Tassie. I was feeling so awful, and about 5 minutes before we got to St Columba Falls, I had to ask hubby to pull over. I got out of the car gagging and then proceeded to spew for ages. Luckily no cars went past while I was mid spew. I felt okay after that. We did the walk to the waterfall, then went on to The Pub in Paddock to see the pig (who was sleeping, so it wasn't very exciting) and then the Pyengana Cheese Factory where we had lunch. I was even able to mostly enjoy the food. But then we had to hop in the car again heading to St Helens. The road wasn't as windy as the first part of the trip, but still not great and I was holding on tightly to the seat using all my energy and focus on not spewing again. At St Helens we had a little stop at a tiny beach. The little miss was asleep by then, so just the little man and I got out. It was good to have some fresh air and walk around a bit to let my food digest a bit. We got back in the car and started the long journey home. We went a different way home - through Scamander, St Marys, Fingal, etc. About 2.5 hours I think it took. I felt okay at the beginning, but soon started feeling pretty awful again. I was pretty sure I was going to lose my lunch quite a few times, but somehow mananged to hold on. Once we got back onto the main highway I felt a fair bit better - it's so much smoother and straighter, much easier to handle. We got home at about 7pm, and I literally went straight to bed. I fell asleep for a bit and woke around 9pm, got up for half an hour or so, and then went back to bed.
Today I feel... average. Not great, but not as awful as the past few days... yet. I just want the first trimester to be over. I am so over feeling sick.
