Weight Gain? Still no. Still down. But the weight loss is most definitely under control.
Stretch Marks? None yet. Well, no new ones.
Sleep? One of the meds I’m taking for hyperemesis helps with that.
Best Moment So Far? I think it is still seeing the ultrasound that I showed last time.
Movement? None yet.
What I miss? Spending time with Thing 1 and Thing 2. I just feel like we haven’t had quality time together since the sickness really set in. There are moments here and there, and some naps with Thing 2. But, not enough. I think it is wearing on both them and me.
What I’m looking forward to? Trying a topical magnesium oil. I’ve had some success with Epsom salt baths, and so I’m hopeful more direct contact with magnesium will do me good.
Milestones? 14 weeks is second trimester! I’m 1/3 of the way through!
Emotions? Still bummed about being sick all the time. Maybe a “tad” grouchy about it as well. Laced with some optimism since the first tri is over. I feel like I’ve made it through the worst.
Maternity Clothes? No. And it is still unlikely for a long time.
Do you usually get less sick after the first trimester? Or, does the hyperemesis stay put for the whole time?
ReplyDeleteThe hyperemesis does stick around the whole time. I'll be on meds until the baby is born. BUT, it does lighten up around 20 weeks. Which is definitely something to look forward to.
DeleteI'm glad it lightens up a bit. I'm sorry it lasts the whole time, though. That has to make being pregnant so hard, which I know from your posts it is. Hugs.
Deleteat least its going for something positive
