I have on and off nausea. It is worse if I don't eat.
I really am praying that this time I don't get hyperemesis. However, I don't think I will be so lucky.
Part of me is kind of hopeful that I get just enough sickness to keep me off work for a few weeks but not enough that I feel dreadful 100% of the time!
If I am vomiting, there is no way I can work as a midwife - it would be too risky for the women. I mean imagine being scrubbed in theatre and throwing up half way through, or doing a delivery and having to run out at a crucial moment to vomit. I don't even think I'd be able to hack clinics or anything. It would be too much - from experience.
DP told his mum our news last night, it took him nearly an hour to spit it out, and he was pacing the floors! I'm surprised she didn't ask him what was up he was so flippin' fidgety!!
She took it well! She did mutter about emigration, and how she wasn't going to cope going from one grandchild to three in the space of six months (her daughter is pregnant too). I suggested she get a double buggy
. Oh and she grumbled about being too young to be a Nan of three!
Anyway, she was fine - DP was worried because he is young, and his sister is older (27 like me), and his mum went mad at her both times. I tried to explain that his sister was in a completely different situation than ours and that is why his mum reacted that way, but he didn't believe me until now! His sister lived with his mum for 4 years with her son, relying on her for everything, failed relationship etc, and now has moved in to a council house, and is with a new guy who won't move in with her even though she is pregnant, treats her like rubbish etc etc - so essentially shes going to be doing all this on her own again. Where as we are both working, own our own house, both drive and have cars, have a stable and established relationship/life, and are able to afford a child.
And she has scousebrows Ahem.
I don't think this pregnancy is a secret anymore. Between both our mothers.......... say no more.
