Wait until you’re in your third trimester when the kid’ll be using your spleen for a punching bag and doing hoops with your bladder.
I feel ya on that.. I experienced the bad side of this….
you know, having to listen to someone hurl every day, over and over and over…
🙂
I should also mention that I could watch it by the end of ‘er … while eating my PB and J toast.
the 2nd trimester can be horny heaven…in my case anyhoo
1st trimester sucked!! I was sick as hell and counldn’t move without eating crackers…. the second trimester I had a never ending stomach and was a buffets worst enemy…third trimester and 70 lbs later WELL….I had to sleep sitting up because the heartburn was so bad and I was drinking Maalox every 15 minutes…the back-acne…the swelling…the head wedge in my rib cage so bad that I had to go off work early…then a c-section to get that big head out….but the 9 months + 6 weeks recovery was all worth it…I’d do again in a second to get another amazing little man.
Congrats…suck it up princess…It’s all worth it!
Who says it stops? Diclectin may be your best friend for the whole 9 months…..
I only got sick from the prenatal vitamins. I felt like my body was ODing on iron & such. Stopped them and was OK. Milk &/or apples helpped for heartburn with me. Oh and paingirl is right about the horney thing too. lol
Wow… I guess I’m lucky. I had a wonderfully easy pregnancy.
