When I woke up this morning, I briefly thought about staying home from work. But then I remembered that my new boss started today and I didn't want to make a bad impression.
I'm not sure if it was a touch of the stomach flu or just fun pregnancy-related goodness, but I was really sick. Before leaving the house, I made four or five runs to the bathroom, gagging or with a hand over my mouth as I ran. I never quite finished the job, but the thought of replaying the scene over and over throughout the day at work wasn't too appealing.
Still, I made it through the day -- with just a few of those same symptoms. Eating food wasn't an issue (I had a healthy lunch and supper). Smelling it was. Even a quick sniff of my prenatals tonight had me doubling over.
While I did have morning sickness during the first trimester, I don't ever remember it being as strange as this.
Baby Richardt is due in early March. Follow the pregnancy from start to finish.
I got the stomach flu when I was pregnant with Zach. Every time I moved it sent me racing to the bathroom. I would lay on one side and adjust and it would send me running for a bucket. The worst of it was that all the activity and flexing of my stomach caused Zach to have a dance party. I'm not sure what was worse... the sickness or the next day. My stomach muscles cramped up so bad I could barely move. I guess that's what I get for rarely getting sick. Ugh. Memories. Hope you're feeling better!
