How Do I Feel? Okay.

I keep telling my dh that I feel okay when he asks and finally this morning he asked what that meant. It means that I don't feel horrible, but I don't feel great.

Actually, I have been told that morning sickness can be caused by lack of B6 in the diet. I have been told lots of things, and have tried some, but I thought I would try this. I took a supplement last night and one the day before and today I have felt quite normal, other than tiredness and the cold I seem to have caught. I would much rather a sore throat than an upset stomach. I can’t figure out why I have been feeling quite sick and then the last couple of days I have progressively gotten better. I actually took my kids out today and I haven’t for a week or so. We went swimming with all three boys to celebrate one of them finishing their workbook. Honestly, I am quite proud of that feat. I will keep taking my B6, trying to sleep enough and not do too much and see if that is my solution. My diet has varied so much that I can’t pinpoint anything there. I pretty much eat what sounds good and try to make it as healthy as possible.

I typed up my morning schedule before I became pregnant. Quite honestly it has all vanished. It worked well before I didn’t feel well, but now my main concern is to tidy the house as much as possible, cook as much as possible and do as much laundry as possible. The essentials. I know this time will pass so I’m trying to not get too bothered by things not being as I would normally like them to be.

Today I felt quite capable and probably could have done my normal routine, but since I have been feeling so lousy I thought that I would take it easy and slowly ease back into things. I don’t want to speak too soon and say my morning sickness is over. I just had one good day and I will be happy for that and wish for more to come.

I still haven’t decided about what to do for a doctor. I seem to misjudge how far along I am by the contractions. Baby #2 I started pushing at home, but luckily I pushed for 90 minutes and had time to get to the hospital. AS you know baby #3 there was no chance in getting to the hospital. I do not want to have dh deliver my baby again. Nothing against dh, we actually joke to our friends that he is a midwife now, but I tore like crazy. I’ve thought seriously about a homebirth just to make sure someone is there that knows what they are doing and can monitor the baby, but the biggest down side of that for me is that I want to relax in the hospital after. Some people want to get out as quick as possible and I used to until I realized that I wouldn’t be waited on at home and instead will have little ones to wait on. I enjoy the few days there to just read and relax before the realities of adding one more child to a family kicks in.
