She lost so much weight with the first preg that she delivered our Emma weighing less than when she started the pregnancy and this time is looking no different. Love and support is all we can do to make them feel better.paradykeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09925382784693420640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8228238011523149755.post-44010203913260626382011-06-12T13:58:34.328-05:002011-06-12T13:58:34.328-05:00My sister-in-law was so sick in her first trimeste...My sister-in-law was so sick in her first trimester that she went from saying she wanted lots of kids to saying that this baby would be an only child. She also had a really hard time with all the medication she was supposed to be taking, as she is also not someone who likes to take pills for any reason at all. Her doctor let her switch from prescription prenatal vitamins to Flinstones chewable kids vitamins, which helped a little with her nausea. Luckily she felt much better during the second trimester, and she did later decide to have more children after all.<br /><br />She and several other women I know strongly recommend drinking ginger beer for nausea (it doesn't have alcohol in it, just more stomach-settling ginger than ginger ale), in case S hasn't already tried this.<br /><br />Maybe it will make her feel a little better to know that strong morning sickness is associated with a lower chance of miscarriage and other complications? Her own immune system is fighting hard and she and the baby just have to work out their own immune rhythm, I suppose.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14916466638722896873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8228238011523149755.post-13325017453636045912011-06-10T16:55:11.638-05:002011-06-10T16:55:11.638-05:00Just wanted to share that I tried for 3 years to g...Just wanted to share that I tried for 3 years to get pregnant with my son and then once I was (finally!) successful I thought I was supposed to be all happy-go-lucky about everything. And I wasn't. I felt HORRIBLE and then had massive guilt about that feeling on top of everything else. I even went out and bought a book called "Pregnancy sucks" to make me feel better.<br /><br />Just wanted to send a thought and some nice thoughts. The first trimester DOES suck. Allow yourself to feel that and own it. Totally, totally, sucks. And that does not at all negate how very much this baby is wanted. I promise it gets better.
