awww grim NDG. Are you going to have this nausea through the whole term?

You poor little lamb NDG.

Are you at least not dehydrated? Can you hold in a pregnancy safe supplement at any time of day?


Do not read next bit while nauseous.







I suppos you've twigged some things are easier in the system if they have to come back up and others are to be avoided? Years of experimentation let me know somethings are not to be eaten if the are coming back up....

As ling as there's somewhere that serves a decent coffee, it will be a nice day!

I'm not a coffee drinker.... my eye'd be on market hot dogs for £2. They can stick any overpriced muck .... but if there's a shabby bloke with a cart flogging them at £2 that's where I'll be found

I've tried a couple, but they all just make me sick more or less instantly. I've got another GP appointment on Wednesday evening, and as I'll be nearly 15 weeks, it might be time to try some anti-emetics. Those that they can give you when you are pregnant aren't great, but they damp it down a bit, anyway.

I'm swallowing a pregnacare vitamin first thing, with water, then staying in bed another 20 minutes or so, and that works some days. I've verged on dehydration, but not too badly, yet, so I've not needed a drip.

I've twigged, yes. The hard way, obviously!

Things are ALWAYS overpriced at these things, a hot dog will actually be a barely venison sausage ( donner or blitzen?) or ' festive pork and cranberry' and they'll charge three times the amount for to stand outside in the cold wet eating eat. That's part of the funM

OH has departed for Edinburgh, Sam's departing on Wednesday morning for Istanbul, and Isaac decided, this evening, to be like a bee in a bottle. I love him dearly, and most of the time he's great, but he was being a right little sod this evening - "what does it look like when you are being sick, Mummy? Can I watch?" and throwing balls in the living room (he knows that's on the Banned List) and sword fighting a bookcase, and generally being a right pain in the neck!

Still, I've had a nice chat to my mother, who reminds me that all children sometimes make you want to tear your hair out and take to the bottle, including 35 year old ones (-:

My mother's promised to come and stay for a couple of days if I feel overwhelmed - too much happening in the next few days, and I'm even sicker. It's not just the feeling nausea and vomiting several times a day, it's leaving me feeling really drained and tired and tearful, because I'm so short of various vitamins and nutriton, I suppose.

I didn't want to tell OH any of it really, because he's got to be in Edinburgh the rest of the week, so there's no point him being worried and guilty when he can't do anything anyway.

But knowing my darling Mama is quite happy to come makes me feel a bit less like I'lll need her to, if that makes sense.

Ho hum - Afghan night now, and Harmondsworth Detention Centre tomorrow.

Looking after an energetic small person when you are sick and there is no other adult to palm them off onto is grim at any time, and things that are hard to cope with anyway always feel even more overwhelming and tear-inducing when your brain's under the influence of those pregnancy hormones. (Well, that was how it was for me when I was pregnant, anyway. I cried buckets in the staff room at school about some awful year 10 boys who were making my life a misery, and I remember all the heartening comments from other teachers: women who said they'd cried loads in pregnancy, and men who said their wives had too.)

But, mothers can be amazing under those circumstances. Mine was superb when I found myself a single parent with two kids under five. I'm so glad yours will be there to look after you and stop Isaac pestering you when it's the last thing you need.
