I was so fortunate to have such minimal experience with morning sickness in the first weeks. Now, at 12 weeks, I seem to have a hard time holding on to certain meals. Is it morning sickness if it always stems from heartburn? Whenever I have heartburn and try to take Tums for it, I seem to lose whatever I've eaten for the day... we had brunch at like 1 today and at about 7, I was in the bathroom huddled over the toilet. Any suggestions? At this point, I'm largely open to anything. I've never been one to get heartburn but lately, it's like my shadow.
We are approaching the one-year anniversary of when Ryan completed suicide. It brings a lot of emotions and feelings and memories and honestly - exhaustion. I have spent the last year in therapy digging myself out of a lot of those feelings and learning how to be Danie and not Porch and Danie. There have been a lot (!) of tears, a lot of me yelling at Ryan, cursing his name for leaving me to parent alone, a lot of wondering what comes next for the girl gang, a lot of rebuilding. But we're here. I'm here. And arguably stronger than ever (though not physically - listen, I eat my feelings and will work on that side of things later -- DO NOT SEND ME MLM BS ABOUT LOSING WEIGHT). I am much more aware of myself and the girls and more emotionally present than I've ever been. Those girls have been my light through some really dark shit. The seasons are changing. We are almost through our season of "firsts." And if you know, you know. If you don't, you're quite fort
Morning sickness is no fun! Maybe try taking a tums before each meal to get ahead of the heart burn that's causing you to puke? I hope it gets better!
ReplyDeletePrilosec!!! If it is coming straight from acid reflux this will help tremendously. I never had heartburn until late in pregnancy though. You can get this over the counter. Otherwise if it is just straight up MS I took Zofran (need a prescription) my ENTIRE pregnancy. I'm an expert on feeling like total crap and how to someone relieve it!
