Hoping my drugs kick in.

Michelle Granger Moose: I hope someone is on the way!
Emily Beth Rusch: Well I'm in my car
so I'm capable of getting home and haven't asked anyone to get me. I just get
car sick super easy and it's a 20 min drive.
Michelle Granger Moose: Surely your
husband knows
Emily Beth Rusch: He's at work. I
could text him but it wouldn't make a difference. I can wait it out. It's just
getting annoying to be so sensitive to nausea all the time.
Michelle Granger Moose: OK but he
should know as well and I hope you feel better!
Camden Fordham Inman: ALMONDS!!! Are
you carrying Almonds with you??
Emily Beth Rusch: Lol no... I can't
even remember to take my purse with me lol. Just wait till I'm supposed to
carry around a diaper bag...
Camden Fordham Inman: You should
leave a bag in your car and then a bag at work and a bag anywhere else you are
constantly at. It'll help you!!
Michelle Granger Moose: Depend on
your husband to help you now and in the future. You should not have to take
this walk alone.
Emily Beth Rusch: I wish there was a
prego lady safe at church...
Michelle Granger Moose: Keep peanut
butter crackers with you it helps like lance crackers
Camden Fordham Inman: Lol. My mom
says peppermint hard candy is great.
Emily Beth Rusch: He does but he is a
GM and can't just leave work. He is amazing and does all he can for me when he
can. If he didn't have this job we probably wouldn't be starting our family
right now.
Michelle Granger Moose: Ok good to
know!
Cheri Granger Felipe: I hope u feel
better!
Chelsea Johnston: I hope those drugs
kick in! Mine worked reallyyy great for the first few weeks, but I feel like my
body is just immune to them now. lol one of my co-workers is pregnant too and
she has been super super sick and swears by peppermints. She's literally always
carrying a bag around with her. Anything that works! I hope you find something
that helps for you.
Emily Beth Rusch: Mine still work but
I don't have constant nausea any more... its more like I feel nauseas about 10
min before I throw up so I hardly even have enough time to recognize it and
take the pill. And some things trigger it quicker and so I'm also just trying
to avoid the triggers... Driving home at dinner time is a tough one because I
don't want to eat and be full when I get home but I can't make it driving on an
empty stomach.
Chelsea Johnston: yeah that is a
tough one. Especially for that long of a drive. Maybe just snacking on
something while driving? I know I can't do that, but maybe you can! Who knows!
For some reason with me, the movement plus eating is just way too much. But if
I have a snack before having to drive for awhile, that tends to help a little
bit because obviously an empty stomach isn't a good thing.
Chelsea Johnston: And of course,
there is the hope that once you hit your second trimester you'll magically feel
better because your hormones will start
evening out 3 more days for me! So I
guess 8 for you! Yay!!!
Emily Beth Rusch: How 3 for you? My
12 weeks is tomorrow... isn't that 3rd trimester time?
Emily Beth Rusch: shoot... I just
googled it... ur right. I have to wait till the end of next week. LAME
Chelsea Johnston: i believe it's
technically through the 12th week. So once you reach 13 weeks
Emily Beth Rusch: I was gonna post
imaginary bump pictures too lol... well maybe they will be less imaginary if I
wait another week
Emily Rusch: Boo!!!
Shauna Baang: Emily try sucking on a
lemon or smelling peppermint I have heard that those help with the issue that
you are having. Hope this helps and that you get to feeling better soon!
Kami Walker: I'm so sorry!
Martha Mooney Granger: hang in there!
Catherine Doerr: Dry Saltines!
Ginger Faulk: Try taking saltines to
nibble on while driving home...won't fill you up but might help with the
throwing up.
Chelsea Yancey: I didn't get nausea
when I was pregnant, but then again I was only 8 weeks pregnant when I had my
miscarriage in February. However with my very first pregnancy I had a little
nausea, but peppermint candies helped me. I know you probably don't like
hearing this, but maybe the nausea is a good thing. My doctor said that not
having nausea can sometimes lead to a miscarriage. Maybe that's just with my
condition. I don't want to put fear into you. If you ever need anything please
let me know.
Emily Beth Rusch: Thanks Chelsea
Yancey! That's very sweet of you. I think mine picked up most around 9 and is
tapering off now at 12 which is probably how it sneaks up on me. My second doc
appt is this Friday so hopefully everything is still normal and healthy.
Phyllis Pitts Rowberry: My situation
was similar to Chelsea's, but I miscarried at 13 weeks. However, my SIL was
really sick and she swore by cinnamon Jolly Ranchers! I guess it's whatever
works for you. Hang in there!
Deborah Paulukaitis: Gala apples and
dry toast with fat free cream cheese (I know--very specific) were my saves with
my last child (even kept apples by my bed at night). My healthcare providers
gave me the tip on the 'eat every hour' and AT LAST I thought I might just live
through it. I made sure to never have an empty stomach. Sending {{{hugs}}}....
