Ugh.

Hospital visit the other day after panicky emergency scare type thing re: pregnancy. All is fine, though; the little thing has a heartbeat and a tail, both of which are pretty cool.

Meanwhile, the morning sickness has reached whole new levels of misery, to the point where I can hardly eat anything without vomiting. So that's fun. I have another doctor's appointment on Monday, where they can either give me drugs or I'll chain myself to the door, and in the meantime I'm lying down trying to drink a glass of milk very, very slowly. FUN TIMES.

::hugs:: Please be sure you are taking your vitamins! As one friend's OB described it, the human baby is "the most efficient parasite the world ever created" - "those prenatal vitamins are not for the baby. they're to keep you alive - the baby will suck all your nutrients, so you need to supplement!" (Her hubby was out of town that week, so I took her to her appointment. This was the friend who had a miscarriage then had massive morning sickness when she got pregnant again...) According to this doctor, you can grind them up and sip them in water if that's the only way to get them in and keep them down.

I have enough trouble with nausea from some multivitamins without grinding them up first! I think it tends to be B vitamins combined with the other vits that make multis all stinky, and it can help to take the Bs separately. Also don't assume that capsules are less likely to cause nausea than tablets. Tablets may be a bit fragrant when you're swallowing them, but they dissolve slowly in your stomach, whereas capsules are absorbed quite quickly.
