Morning sickness attacks morning, noon and night?

Hey all.

Although I am so happy to be pregnant I am seriously starting to hate the pregnancy symptoms. Such as: nausea, peeing every 5 minutes, hunger, exhaustion, stomach pains from digestive troubles, backaches, and migraine headaches are starting to wear thin. Oh, and I forgot to mention the mood swings. Poor Greg. If I'm not yelling at him for something completely random, or laughing hysterically at a tiny detail; I'm bawling my eyes out. Yesterday, I cried all day. And I was really crying over nothing at all. But I could not stop.

Maybe it's my own fault though. Every morning I tell the baby to make me as sick as they want to, just to let me know that he or she is in there. I can handle being sick and moody as long as in eight or so months the baby comes home with me, healthy. I know that the more sick you are, and the more you feel like absolute crap, the better is for the baby. (Strange but more than one pregnant woman has told me that.) I've been trying pretty much any old wives tale for some of my symptoms. Like, when you're tired take a little break from what you're doing and rest up a little. Morning sickness: eat 2 saltines before you even move to wake up in the morning and drink peppermint tea. (So did not work well at ALL) Peeing all the time? Drink more milk. Tired: take naps (no, duh) And with migraines I've tried cold compresses.

If I could find something to help me from being a raging b*tch, I would definitely take that.

If I could find something to stop me from crying every time I breathe, I would take that too.

And I learned that the wonderful experience of morning sickness doesn't just happen in the morning. It does, though, happen all the time. Mine likes to strike between lunch and dinner. And then after dinner, I will have heartburn and hiccups; no matter what I eat.

It is a wonderful thing to know that you have something living inside of you for 9 months, but it is hell on you until the critter pops out. I'm only 7 weeks and I feel like crud. I've felt like crud since as soon as the baby was made. But, I will live with it everyday if I have to.

Until next time.
