Im sitting here listening to this story, Im 8 weeks and have been nauseous 24/7 since week 5. Luckily for me, I am able to keep liquids and some food down, Im not throwing up so much as just too nauseous to eat or drink much. I just wanted to say thank you SO much for sharing this story. I dont think that people talk enough about the emotional and mental toll this takes on you. Feeling so sick so often is frustrating, exhausting, sad and lonely. It makes it hard to be excited or joyful about the amazing thing happening in your body. I look forward to and hope that I can get through this and feel better in the second trimester! To all the sisters out there feeling terrible in the first try, you are not alone!!XO
