Hi ladies! I've been missing from the boards for a few days because I've been SO SICK and today is the first day where I'm feeling slightly human again. After my ultrasound last Friday (which I'll recap in a minute), I started to feel more and more nauseous and proceeded to spend the weekend between the couch and the bathroom. Starting a couple weeks ago, I've been throwing up once a day. This past weekend, it got so bad that I couldn't keep anything down. It didn't matter what I ate/drank, it would be up shortly and the sessions were so violent that I felt weak/drained/lightheaded afterwards.

I would start bawling to Dh to help me but what could he do? He would try to rub my back but that also made me gag. I went to the hospital on Monday and I was prescribed Zofran (originally intended for chemo patients). My midwife had told me that there's a small risk of it harming baby, so I was very nervous to take it but then I was told that I'm dropping weight & dehydrated and baby isn't getting any nutrients due to my extreme vomiting so I took one pill. It didn't work that whole day so I assumed it wasn't a fit for me. I took a preggo-approved sleeping pill (Unisom) that night and I was out cold. Tuesday...I didn't take any pills/meds and did not vomit!! Woohoo!!! Yesterday was the same so I don't know what happened??? I haven't taken Zofran since that one pill but I have been taking Unisom every night. Maybe that's the key? Either way, I'm so happy I'm feeling better. Although still a bit queasy & lightheaded, it's WAY better than the weekend.

As for the ultrasound, I was sooo scared but we saw baby immediately and the heartbeat was going nice and strong at 152bpm!! It was the coolest feeling and I couldn't wipe the grin off my face all day :D I can't believe that our baby has a heartbeat!!! We told my parents on Saturday and they are so ecstatic! We gave them copies of the ultrasound and now they're hanging on their fridge :) So, here is our little Jujube!!!!!

Baby V at 7w1d:

You can see the little tail! Hehe!

So glad that you're feeling better!!!
And your little bean is so cute :)

Oh my god! That sounds like such a terrible experience! I am so happy that you are feeling a bit better. Maybe sleep is really what you needed. I've been sick with a cold and only took a Benadryl 2 nights ago, which knocked me out, and that is when I started to turn the corner. So so happy that you are better and your little jujube is just precious! Congrats!!! :)

I am so happy to hear that you are doing much better and excited to see your little bean! How precious!!

Firstly baby V soooo cute!! Glad you are feeling a little better and hope you have turned the corner it sounded really scary. Are you at work today? H x

Thanks, you guys! I think sleep is definitely the key. I always go to bed early but I think I've been tossing and turning so much that I'm actually getting very little sleep! :(

Hazel~ Yes, I'm at work but am doing nothing :) Thankfully, a coworker did my work for the week so I can relax and take it easy.

Deneen~Welcome to the group and congrats on your bfp!!! I feel like I've missed so much since being gone!

wow your co worker sounds great!!! Keep taking it easy H x

Are you sure you didn't have the flu or food poisoning? It seems strange that it would happen for a couple days and just go away.

I'm sure. No body aches, cold sweats, nothing like I typically get with the flu and I haven't eaten anything that could give me food poisoning. Just your basic crackers, gatorade & cereal. It was like my morning sickness was just extremely intensified but I'm feeling better than I did two weeks ago!

Look for the powerade's zero that have some B vitamins in them. They really have helped me with nausea and B vitamins are what some doctors give shots of when MS is really bad. I am so sorry you had such a rough weekend but look at that cutie!! Yay!
