I'll be honest...
early stages of pregnancy? Not so fun. Especially the morning sickness. Which as my close friends know (in detail, no less - don't worry, I won't gross you out by sharing the details with you as well) has been horrible for me. A day does not go by without me getting up close and personal with the toilet. I'm so tired of throwing up constantly. It exhausts me. It makes me cry. I went home early from work last Wednesday, Friday, Monday and didn't come in at all yesterday. I'm counting down the days until the second trimester begins...hoping that it will bring the end of the morning sickness. While I know it's all worth it, that when February comes and I'm holding a precious gift from God in my arms, I won't care - what I had to go through won't matter...but when I'm puking in the public bathroom at work (which is disgusting, by the way) it's hard to remember that!

Have you read Belly Laughs from Jenny McCarthy? It's really funny and may help you get through these awful hugging-the-toilet days. She also has Baby Laughs about the first year of motherhood. Not Dr. Spock kind of stuff, but entertaining nonetheless.
Erin, another funny read is "Hello, My Name is Mommy", by Sheri Lynch. She is a local radio personality in Charlotte, and wrote THE most hysterical book on pregnancy. Tell it like it is, for sure. I read it just because I think she's a funny person! I'd be happy to loan it to you if you like! Hang in there, hon!
Erin. .no advice (although i've heard lemon helps - lemonade, lemon drops etc) just lots of hugs!
Oh honey! I'm sorry you're having to deal with that. Please take extra good care of you during this stage!!!
oh goodness... I was sick for the first 4 months... I ate a lot of bananas and crackers - the only things I could keep down... I wish you luck, and by the time you have that baby, you wont hardly remember how bad the first trimester was... much luck
So sorry you're having to deal with all of that puking, Erin! I only puked about 5 times in my first trimester, but I had that constant nausea feeling for a LONG TIME! Sometimes I wished that I would just go ahead and puke so that I wouldn't feel that way. Definitely ask your doctor for some nausea medicine. You can get the kind that makes you sleepy (if you get sick at night) or the kind that doesn't make you sleepy so you can take it at work. It really helped me! I also definitely suggest Jenny McCarthy's books! Those books cracked me up!!! It DOES get better so hang in there! I know it can be hard right now, but there is light at the end of the tunnel!! Let me know if there is anything I can do!
Erin, Im so sorry you are not feeling well. Although I can say I havent felt this way yet. When did your nausea, etc. start???
so sorry you are dealing with this, erin. you know i would do anything to make it easier for you. praying hard for you, my friend! love you! :)
hey chica! so sorry you're feeling yucky and becoming one with the porcelain throne! =) hang in there, girlie! praying for you!
sorry to hear this! I am hoping the day will go quickly for you!
Hugs Erin. Public restroom puking...not a pretty thought. I use to lay in bed and eat saltines slowly before moving one muscle so I could line my stomache and it helped. Well, not really, but kinda! Be well...you're going to be such a wonderbar of a MOM!
