Unwell

It really pains me to see the Mrs suffering so much. Maybe you experienced parents out there can advise.

What happens is the Mrs is feeling morning sickness which is not unusual except that she is feeling it ALL DAY LONG!!! She feels like vomiting day and night which results in her having no appetite at all for food of any kind. It has been going on for about a month already and I'm not sure if this is the direct cause but she has lost about 3kg now - another worry on its own. Not for her though, she is actually rather happy with her new weight, slimmer arms and legs.

Besides the all day sickness, she is also always out of breath and having cramps most of the time. I read somewhere that out of breath is due to the expanded lung capacity hence she needs to take in longer and deeper breaths to fill it. This is still manageable since we have cut down on her walking around (means no shopping during this GSS) plus she can position her body such that the cramp is minimised.

It is the all day sickness that is driving her up the wall and I can only watch on helplessly. Sometimes my show of concern actually irritates her because I am always reminding her to eat but she is always telling me that she will if she can but even the thought of drinking plain water makes her want to puke.

As it is she is already not eating breakfast and she is trying her best not to skip lunch as well. I also learn that constant sickness is good in the sense that the HCG must be high which equates to the pregnancy being stable. This must be another one of God's wicked sense of humour.

The few times she finished her dinner was when she had a particular craving and given time to eat slowly, she surprised even herself by finishing the entire meal. Unfortunately these times when she has cravings are few and far between.

Since she is always on the verge of vomiting, she is also very selective of her food. She does not want to eat food like laksa or curry that will leave a very bad after taste once she has vomited. Hence the poor thing has been surviving on bee hoon soup, porridge and other food along this line.

Read in the same magazine that Ginger biscuit and tea etc will help but it doesn't work on her.

Advice anyone?
