Morning Sickness
I had my first experience with Morning Sickness on Wednesday. Not fun! It started like any other day: I woke up at 4:50 as usual to work out. I was tired, but other than that, felt fine. Twelve minutes into my workout I felt extremely nauseous. For fear of losing it, I cut my workout short. I thought that I just needed to eat something, but I had trouble even choking down my bowl of cereal. Things just got worse when I got to work. Nothing seemed to help. If I did not eat, I felt nauseous. If I ate, I felt nauseous. If I drank water, I felt nauseous. If I sat there doing nothing, I felt nauseous. If I was up moving, I felt nauseous. Finally I got a break for lunch at 3 and laid down in the recliner in the break room. I set the alarm on my phone for 3:30 and dozed off. Relief! I woke up feeling better, not great, but better. I grabbed a ginger ale out of the fridge at work and the rest of the day was manageable. I think the days of my early morning workouts might be over. Bummer.

Welcome to pregnancy!
ReplyDeleteIf you want to work out in the morning, just try eating a light snack first. Like a few saltine crackers and some water or something. I never worked out when pregnant (:D) but I know I felt a lot better all day if the first thing I did when I got up was eat something small. Nothing big or too rich, just something easy on my stomach that would kind of ease it into the day! Worth a try....
