We were all young once :-)

I absolutely love

Naturo Pharms Morningmed Relief spray :-)
It actually works as long as I take it regularly.

Have you noticed...

When you are pregnant...

1) You catch yourself constantly talking about babies and pregancy all the time.
2) You see other pregnant people every where!
3) Males are more likely to open doors for you and move out of your way (even before you start showing - I am guessing its the extra estrogen)
4) You are more forgetful.
5) You are more clumsey.
6) No one is allowed to be more hormonal than you (especially your husband).
7) If you are not thinking about baby and babies 24/7 you are wondering how much longer you can handle this "morning" sickness for.
8) Everyone else seems more concerned about the sex of the baby to be.
(I was more worried about how many, how many genes and please let baby have 10 fingers and toes and get the nutrition it needs)

Little facts I did not know before;
*Morning sickness should be called continious 24/7 sickness
*You can get sick from looking at another cracker or ginger ale or ginger beer
*While pregnant a packet of chocolate biscuits can last in our house for well over 2 days

Pike River Mine

All my prayers and wishes are going out to the 29 miners in the mine, to their friends and families and to the whole of Greymouth who are doing their best to support these families.

Morning Sickness 2

I knew that you could get morning sickness at other times of the day. But I can't remember seeing anywhere that not only is morning sickness, afternoon and night but no one said that it was continious, the "morning sickness" does not go away!!!! At all, I am just hoping I can survive the next 5 weeks and hoping that it actually stops in the 2nd trimester.
Praying for some relief soon.

Morning sickness

Well after being terribly nauseous for the last 3 weeks,
Hubby reminded me of "sea bands" they work on acupressure. I went straight down the road a few hours ago and got them from the chemist (pharmacy) and have been wearing them since, the nausea is not 100% gone but I tell you its HEAPS better than it was, I can even function a bit more :-). http://www.sea-band.com/
