Living on the couch

Okay, not literally, I do have a small child to take care of. But, oh, if I could. The nausea has gotten steadily worse and I'm not so sure how I'm going to fare tomorrow without my husband around to help. Although nothing helped last time, I decided to do some research to see if I could find anything new. Nope. The standard advice is: eat small meals frequently with protein and complex carbohydrates, ginger, B6 and keep hydrated. The good news is that I don't ever actually throw up, I'm just nauseated all. of. the. time. The hardest thing is to eat more frequently. I really can't keep eating all of the time in front of my son without him wanting something, too, so I end up only eating when he does to avoid this issue completely. I need to figure something else out. The idea of ginger is currently making me feel ill. The B6 I'll bring up with my midwife when I see her in a week, although it didn't make a difference last time. In the mean time, I'll concentrate on the end product: that sweet, sweet baby that will be mine in August.
