Really pregnant ... it begins

Well, if I ever wonder when it really kicked in, I think today's the day. Boobs are definitely up to something, and am fairly nauseous, not like I had some lactose, like I might be sick, something out of balance inside (so all is well then!) 

I have to say, I don't mind feeling sick in itself, nausea is not exactly new to me, you just wait it out, use the time to rest, the body copes better that way. I can't imagine this is any different. It's not terrible, just a bit debilitating, I had planned on writing more of chapter two this morning - and it is 12:31 already.... Still, the day is young. 

So, game plan considering this is likely to worsen? - 

1. get an extra bowl of pasta/beef or pasta/cheese ready before I sleep so Iain can get it for me before I get up (or I can get it). I've been waking up too early and getting up to eat too late, that would make me sick because of the IR anyway, let alone with the hormones. Am choosing the pasta because I seem to want it even in the morning and also it will keep overnight. 

2. drink even more water. 

3. get the remedies I picked out - from here www.mumstheword.com

oh and someone on SoulCysters posted the following tips from her friend: 

• crushed ice/flavoured ice
• crackers by the bed
• tic tac/sweeties in all her bags and everywhere - peppermint, cinnamon (eugh)
• strong scents as a distraction tactic - candles, laundry etc 
• drink lots of water
• take the prenatal multivit at bedtime
• gingerale
• avoid raw meat if already feeling sick
• take as much fresh air as possible
