Making Baby 3, Pregnancy Week 6: I am an Eating Machine

7 November 2008

I’ve been eating SO MUCH these last few days! I’ve found that it soothes my morning sickness.

I have to eat every 2 hours, or I’ll throw up. Where ever I am, what ever I am doing, when my stopwatch approaches 1 hr 58mins, my stomach will start to rumble with hunger.

So I have made lots of provisions. I have emergency snacks stashed in the car and handbag. Chocolate, muesli bars, apples, bananas, nuts, fruit bars. I have to carry food everywhere.

I eat small, frequent meals now.

The good new is that I’m off the hormone medication, but I still have all-day nausea and dizziness.

Altogether, the morning sickness, the lack of exercise, all this eating, the sudden weight gain, has been making me feel really, really terrible. I’ve been trying to keep myself busy, which also helps.

If there’s any comfort in all this, it’s knowing that my general crapiness indicates that the pregnancy is still progressing and baby is growing and developing as normal!
