weird?
weird?
try sea bands (you can find them at walgreens/walmart/target/cvs etc) i suffer from vertigo (everyday) and had bad while preg w/all 4! it really did help about 80% of it. I'm actually wearing them now too! :o)
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a good suggestion/advice with the morning sickness. I had it a bit with this baby but it was only the first few weeks. I did think I was going to die though... Now I wish someone had told me about the sea bands:)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the m/s, it stinks! I had it bad with my daughter and not at all with my son. I got it at night and I was never ever able to keep my dinner down. Love the "bloat" pic!
ReplyDeleteThe bella bend worked alright but I prefered a b-buckle (my pants felt more secure)....here is the link & I think you can get them at babies r us!!

I loved the bella band. You may even use it right after your little one is born.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear your naseau is so bad. That should go away. Hopefully.
Love the baby bump, so much fun.
ditto the seabands!! i completely forgot about those and yes, they worked! mine were tight as hell, maybe it diverted my attention from the nausea to the wrist pain, lol.
ReplyDeleteit should so be called all day sickness! you are a gorgeous pregnant mama!
ReplyDeleteyou loook great! dont worry about the weight. it is for a good cause and you can get it off when the baby comes. I stressed out every week, but at the end of the day, your body gains the weight it needs and it's not a big deal (I gained 60 lbs w/ my first! yikes).
ReplyDeleteDid you ever try the ginger tea?? It really helps!! At least it did for me. I know exactly how you feel... hopefully it goes away after you're out of the 1st tri! Love you :)
ReplyDeleteit really did help about 80% of it. I'm actually wearing them now too

ok, I am going to get the seabands today!! and heid, I attempted to make the ginger tea but I gagged when I tried to drink it. what the hell is my deal?? haha!!!
ReplyDeleteyou look AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteI'm not pregnant, but because of various health issues I've had my fair share of nausea. Ginger is GREAT! Even gingersnaps with candied ginger in them (Trader Joe's has really, really delicious ones) or straight candied ginger (See's has a chocolate-covered version ... though I don't know how much chocolate would help) are great.
How exciting for you! Congrats! I will follow your journey into motherhood!
