5 Weeks Pregnant

Monday April 27th, 2009

At this point, everyone knows about my pregnancy!! I am 5 weeks pregnant!
I had a dream last night that I had a little girl, which my mom interprets as me having a boy (she said you dream the opposite of what you are having).
I just received my new book “What to Expect When you’re Expecting” and I can’t wait to read it! I will just have to put “Eat, Pray, Love” aside for a while!!!

I haven’t the slightest clue what to eat!! Any food I think about makes me nauseous and it takes away from enjoying the food.

I’ve only vomited once, and that was last Saturday at 2am. I know is TMI, but it was coming out of both ends! While sitting on the toilet I had to throw up in the bathtub!
My hubby woke up alarmed and shaking thinking there was something wrong. Poor thing, his heart was beating so fast I felt bad.

I am SOOOO afraid that I will have a miscarriage!! I am finally getting what I wanted!!
I’ve known a few people who had miscarriages and I know is devastating! I want to have my baby!!

Other than eating healthy, taking it easy, avoiding the obvious like smoking and drinking I don’t know what else to do!! Sometimes they are inevitable but I would not want it to happen to me.
A few years back I had a sonograms and they found fibroids, this is also my main reason for worrying!

I hope everything is ok and that the dreaded first trimester passes soon. I would not mind carrying my child for 2 years if I have to, I just want the first trimester to pass soooooooon!!


Symptoms: I am still VERY tired, sleepy, cranky and always hungry. And I forgot to mention something... for the past week, I’ve been using the bathroom at least 5-8 times a day!! I’ve never pooped so much before! I searched a little and found out that this was normal! PHEW!
