Full Circle

before-

first trimester
3rd trimester

My pregnancy has made it full circle now. In the beginning I was horribly nauseous and would spend my days not eating and laying on the couch with my eyes closed because I felt like the room was moving. I was on tons of medicines as I was nauseous, throwing up, my stomach hurt, I had icky indigestion among other things. I did not cook for myself or my husband because I felt so gross.
The second trimester was a blast, a welcome relief from the first trimester and a rest period before the third trimester. During the second trimester I ingested whatever food my heart desired and 2 prenatal vitamins. The third trimester feels a heck of a lot like the first, except that I have quite the gut now. Once again I am nauseous, my stomach hurts, I cannot digest food (I ate a cup of Nestle Chocolate Chips after lunch yesterday and at 9pm I was still burping up chocolate). I am back to old lady status with my morning pill popping-2 prenatals, a calcium pill, 2 iron pills, 2 stool softeners and a few 8mg Zofran's and Zantec 125's get me through the day. I don't like taking medications because they are not the greatest for the baby. But if the meds keep me well enough to keep plugging along in this pregnancy, than I guess it's good for her too.
