Oh my gosh CONGRATS!!!! I'm 19 weeks with my second and my morning sickness got BAD this time. I couldn't be around the birds, clean up after the dogs (which is hard when you have a litter who are learning their potty skills), smell anything cooking, or even change my son. I promise you it will get better! I was so bad I did have to be put on 2 different anti-nausia pills. They both worked great, and one of them is for night and makes me pass out which is awesome! I'm sure your doc will be able to give you something to atleast take the edge off. One day you will literally wake up and feel sooooo much better. It's really weird but I promise every bit is worth it! Birds will always be available to you, but how often are you going to get to be pregnant in your life? Love every second of it.....even the sick ones!

I wish you all the best in the world, and I hope you dont do like I did with my first one. I was sick the whole time I was pregnant. I threw up so hard once I threw up blood. could not stand to smell chicken at all. the only thing I could eat was buttermilk and fried green tomatoes. then I would get sick on it too. but some of it stayed down or else my now 20 yr. old dd wouldnt be here. Oh and she cant stand fried green tomatoes or buttermilk.

Ya know. My husband gets really sick around me too. I was going to joke to him about it last night because if I'd voice that I felt like complete crap, he'd look at me and go "i feel REALLy sick too" I was going to joke and say... "haha maybe you're having sympathy pains..." but when Im that sick I don't even wanna talk (yep speaking when the pains are that bad even makes me hiccupp to the point of wanting to

or needing to run to the bathroom just incase I

LOL So that doesn't sound weird at all. And probably explains why hubby kept trying to stay away from teh bedroom with me all weekend

I can't even touch my own stomach though, it hurts bad to touch it, so no tummy rubbing for hubby atleast just yet. I can't even hug him like a normal hug, my stomach can't touch his stomach or I get really sick lol. Go figure.

Right this second...i FEEL GREAT!!!! This great feeling sometimes lasts all day when I feel good, or it lasts for about 15 mins then i feel like crap again. Luckily, it's been over 15 mins already. I notice when I feel good like this if I keep my stomach full, it prolongs the comfort in my tummy. But when I have bad days (almost everyday

) food is hard to even put in there.

LUCKILY, the actual vomiting part has learned the words "Morning sickness" i normally only vomit from 1 am - 2 pm after that I can feel horrid but almost never vomit.

When I made my gyno appt. at the end of this month I told the nurse on the phone about my problem (just a quick thing of puking up a lot of the food and prenadals) and she basically told me that my doc won't feel safe doing anythinga bout it until seeing me

sooo gotta wait.

Its alright though, on these "good days" like today I just eat what I can (good stuff if i can help it) and take my prenadal when im feeling good and then I feel like I completed my days mission

lol

On a bird note.... hubby lets out and feeds my birds as I had mentioned, I barely go up and see them anymore. Well today hubby had to let them out at 1 am which is really early for them but that's the time he left for work and we were worried I wouldn't be able to let them out and feed them in the morning so he let them out for me and fed them. Well when I got up around 8 the first thing I did was drug myself out of bed to look at them through the window. Good thing i did. I noticed that my duck flock was spilt up... "that's odd" i thought... my ducks stay together...and the two youngest calls were split off from the rest of the flock by about 20 ft.... then only about 2 seconds later I see why...... the biggest hawk i've ever seen swoops down from this tiny poplar branch (it's a branch that comes up separately from the only tree in their enclosure so it looks like it's own tree) and is in a straight line for either my silkies or my pigeons (i couldnt tell it happened so fast)....she (the hawk...big so i assume female redtailed but im not sure of the species) must have hit off my hillbilly wire netting I had put up like spider web infront of their barn (for this exact reason) because she missed her target... but then must have fell through the "netting" because before I knew it she was down with my birds taking another split second jab at my freaking out squawking running flappping for their lives birds... then the hawk gave up and flew back into the tree. As i ran to the back door I thought to myself.... im barefoot and pukey but that hawk isnt taking my birds! So I just ignored everything and ran up there barefoot as fast as I could (i dont know how i didnt fall the journey to my birds pen the way i go up is slippy and rocky lol) but the hawk must have heard me open the door because she wasnt anywhere to be seen when i got up there.

I did a quick bird assessment and everyone was there, and then I made everyone get into the barn and i locked them up. They ate for the day already so they'll be good until daddy comes home to feed and water them again. Grrr I'm just so mad. Hubby and I are going ot need to buy some bird netting so that the hawk next time won't just won't hit the wire and slide through but this time hit the wire and won't be able to slide through to give my birds a chance to get away.

What annoys me is my birds are stupid! LOL! Apparently if they were split up like i had found them that wasnt the first time that the hawk had swooped down on them... yet instead of being smart and going in the barn (that was opened) they just stood around like dumb dumbs waiting for it again. *shakes head* I'm just greatful no one was hurt ANNND i didnt puke during it (which would have amused my neighbors I can guarrentee that...) LOL. They are nosey and rude and we don't get along so yep they would have loved it...

welp i haven't read everyones posts to me but for the ones I did get htrough so far thank you so much for the kind words and well wishes... I really do appreciate it and when I have good days like today I think to myself that it's probably all the wonderful people on here praying for me

I know that eventually i'll feel better.... i'd LOVE to enjoy some of this pregnancy lol!

I've had a few of my pregnancies just like yours.

Its so hard to get through. Look at it this way, at least you know your pregnancy is healthy. Pretty soon, you'll have that new bundle of joy to hold in your hands.

Keep us updated.

Hmm, you might also try eating the foods that contain the prenat vitamins instead of taking the actual vitamins. Those *kill* my stomach when I take them. You can usually find some pretty tasty stuff that has just as much or more of what you're looking for. Most cereals have crap-tons of folic acid and riboflavin, for instance.

Glad to hear today is a good day. Shoot the hulk quietly & get raid of the evidence. Lastly take the advice on the healthy food or try children's vitamins. You get way to much vitamins taking the prenatals but to much is better then not enough.
