Comments on: Morning Sick http://roxcy.synthian.org/2006/04/04/27/ Uplifting, edifying, and enriching reading by and for Latter-day Saint Women Tue, 06 Jan 2009 02:05:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: RoAnn http://roxcy.synthian.org/2006/04/04/27/#comment-139 Sun, 09 Apr 2006 07:30:15 +0000 http://roxcy.synthian.org/2006/04/04/27/#comment-139 Although I have no helpful advice for coping with morning sickness, I can offer heartfelt sympathy and my hopes that you will soon feel perky again. I do have a suggestion for dealing with the negative vibes you may experience when people learn that you are pregnant with your third (gasp!) child. When I was pregnant in England some years ago, pleasant interest often turned to hostility and scorn once people learned that I was expecting not my first, but my sixth child. I was repeatedly informed in no uncertain terms that I was selfishly adding to the pollution of the environment and contributing to the depletion of precious natural resources. The first time I was attacked in this way I was shocked into silence. In future encounters with indignant people charging me with irresponsibility, I responded with a brilliant smile that I was confident that my children would more than justify their existence. In a world full of problems, they would help provide needed solutions by becoming valuable, productive, contributing members of society. In this matter, as in many others, the best defense is often a good offence. :) Although I have no helpful advice for coping with morning sickness, I can offer heartfelt sympathy and my hopes that you will soon feel perky again.

Oh... wait... I haven't had any kids yet. I think you'll like this kid the best out of all your kids. Melanee says that she loves her first two, but now that she has the third, the other two entertain themselves and she just sits and stares at Simon. You should read Erin's blog, <a href="http://madresanchez.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">lo que pasa aqui en el barrio</a>, she has lots of stories about puking and could probably give you some excellent advice.

My pregnancy was really easy, and I was only sick for two weeks. However, the first thing I threw up was a banana and I still can't eat bananas without getting queasy. I did break down crying near the end of the two weeks. I was sobbing to my husband that "I miss eating!" I have nothing to offer you. My pregnancy was really easy, and I was only sick for two weeks.

I lost 11 pounds. I just laid face-down in a dark hallway outside the bathroom door. Ugh. It wasn't anywhere near as bad for me with Bobbie. Maybe it's a girl/boy thing; I don't know. I have a recipe for an herbal tea to help with it. I'll have ot look it up, but I'll post it later. You need any of us to ship you some Lucky Charms?
