Nausea

On Saturday when I was 7 weeks 2 days nausea really hit. Nothing I eat helps apart from polo mints and sprite. The worst bit can be in the mornings as I wake - I feel terrible! It also makes me really tired and I just want to hibernate. It nearly brought me to tears last night when Hubby, Mum and I went to the pub and I felt so sick while eating gorgeous macaroni cheese that I had been craving - luckily I told myself to get a grip and be positive!

Example of my normal daily menu:
Cup of tea
Smoothie
Shreddies and hot milk

Peanut butter sandwiches on wholemeal bread
Probiotoc yoghurt
Water

Vegtable Quiche
New potatoes
Sprouts
Broccoli
Carrots
Cabbage
Lollyice

Nausea Menu Example:
Cup of tea

Smoothie
Shreddies and hot milk

Chips

Curly Wurly

Orange Juice

Cheese Bagel

Sprite

Galaxy chocolate

Strawberry liquorice laces

Another problem is my digestive system is really sluggish. I read that the pregnancy hormones progesterone and estrogen slow down the system so that food stays inside for longer than usual so that more nutrients can be salvaged. The result is constipation! It's not really bad at the moment but has lead to bloating and a hemorroid! 


So my plan of action is:

• Start swimming again even if I am tired
• Drink more water not Sprite
• Eat more nuts and yoghurts
• Keep applying the pile cream!

Even with feeling bad I'm still so happy, after all this is what I've always wanted and it's all for a good cause. Plus at least I feel really pregnant!
