Thanks,
Jamila20. I had been following your sickness saga with interest as I was going through something similar in the first trimester. My fertility clinic mentioned that if it got worse, they would give me Zofran, but I never asked for it. I even had trouble drinking water. I had to sip slowly and it took soooooo long just to get through 1 glass of water. Brushing my teeth made me throw up to until I just started using less toothpaste. I tried every trick in the book, but nothing worked. I would throw up about 3 times a day and was completely nauseous the rest of the day. Only time worked. It all went away during weeks 14/15. Every once in awhile a wave of nausea will hit me, but it passes in a few minutes.
My goal now is to wait for my appetite to return. I just don't feel like eating and there are few foods that I really enjoy eating. I eat simply because I know I have to. Anyone else feel that way at this point in their pregnancies?
Other than that, hubby felt the babies kicking for the first time last night, so that was exciting!
KatieG, if you don't mind my asking since you're having twins...how much weight have you put on? I've only put on 16 pounds so far. My
OB doesn't seem concerned and I found a weight tracker online that puts me right smack on track for where I should be at 21/22 weeks. I guess I just don't seem that big and many people have commented on how tiny I am. I'm not sure how big they expect me to be with twins! Granted, I lost 5-7 pounds during the first trimester due to vomiting and reluctance to eat much, but for some reason, I thought I would have put on more weight by now.
