Today is the very first day in a long time that I actually feel normal - not as tired, not as nauseous... Maybe because it's Good Friday!
The nauseousness actually went up a notch this week and I even threw up a couple of times. I find that I usually feel nauseous when:
1. I don't get to eat when I'm hungry. Then the build-up of gas at the speed of light cause me to feel like there's a whole chicken stuck in my oesophagus, and at the same time, nausea.
2. my saliva glands go into overdrive and the excessive saliva cause me to want to throw up.
3. my oversensitive smell receptors is causing me to dread cleaning including myself! The what used to be pleasant but is now overpowering fragrance in soaps and washing detergents just makes my stomach churn!
How I deal with it if I can:
1. eat frequent small meals but this can be hard when I only feel like eating certain foods.
2. suck on a sweet. Not just any sweet for me, can't stand the sweet ones so HACKS ginger and mandarin works miracles for now.
3. trying to get non-fragrant shampoos and washing liquid here is almost impossible. so will try to stay with mildly fragrant ones or the ones that smell acidic - lime/ lemon actually helps.
I keep counting the days to 2nd trimester when hopefully all these will go away but it still seems so far away!
