So.....I'm at 8 weeks and 4 days. I'm about half-way through my first trimester and hopefully half-way through feeling nauseated. Thus far, no vomiting! I am trying to keep food in my stomach and water at hand. I've had several people give me advice on combating "morning sickness" which can last all day. I feel I have been fortunate in this area.
I have found that pregnancy has made me LAZY. All I want to do is lay on the couch...and occasionally get up to clean. I remain constipated unless I do my Fit Mama DVD. Walking doesn't help my bowels. I did take the max adult dose of a laxative Saturday night that had me in the bathroom in a Dumb and Dumber moment, about 15 minutes after ingestion. Liquid, 5 lb. relief. I haven't gone since then. Me no poopy for three days.
It doesn't matter how much fruit I eat. I'm going to have to bring myself to exercise tomorrow if I ever hope to poop again. This sucketh.
What did you struggle with during your first trimester?
With the girls, I totally threw up for 6 months. Glad to hear that's not an issue for you! I would ask your doctor is you can take Miralax to help with the constipation (or, you could use the dreaded OTC enema!)
ReplyDeleteI think being pregnant is a BRILLIANT excuse to be lazy. EMBRACE the laziness. LOVE it. It may be years before you get to be lazy again.
Praying for you and your babies!
Throwing up constantly- but I'd already spent nearly 7 months doing that from a tumor-shrinking treatment I had been on to conceive, so I saw it as positive puking. That, and migraines. But soooo worth it in the end!
ReplyDeletesmells! had to make my hubby change his deoderant.....realized that certain smells + empty stomach would make me vomit~! ah the joys of the first trimester!!:)
