Pregnant and morning sickness

Haven't been posting since last August?, I think.. So much has happened over the last few months and am now keeping up with the blogging...

I am pregnant again, praise the Lord, and this time with only one. When I had the ultrasound, I asked specifically three times and made sure that they've checked me thorough that I only have one sac in there.

Due 25 May 2011, but my obstetrician is not in favour of me having a vaginal birth, so the operation it is again and we've decided on 19 May 2011, unless water breaks earlier.

This time round, morning sickness dragged on for a good 20 weeks. The first 3 months was more constant, all the time, then afterwards it was a few times a day, but mostly at night. Throwing up was an art, with me discarding only certain foods that I ate. Could have a bbq chicken with herbs stuffing along with rice and vegetables for dinner and all I threw up was the her stuffing. My obstetrician, husband and myself were amazed at how the body could separate foods that were taken in together.

Phoebe's a great comfort during these times of throwing up. She'd sit with me, put her arms around my shoulder and give me reassuring pats. What a grown up girl! She'd also bring me a stool to sit on while I throw up and pull the toilet paper for me to clean up too. For a nearly 3 year old (that was before December), I was and still am very proud of her.

We'd have a conversation everyday, with her asking if baby could come out and play today. Over the last few months, Phoebe has taken to having afternoon naps with me, for 2 reasons - One, I was not up to settling her in her own bed, and two, she wants to sleep with her baby sibling. We've found out that it was going to be another girl.

Poor husband had to deal with Phoebe after work as I'm mostly out of action by 7pm. Could hardly eat either and would just crash into bed. Thankfully, morning sickness went pretty much on the dot at 21 weeks.

We'll probably try for another child after a few more years... Sphere: Related Content
