I spoke too soon about the nausea lifting

I just began my 11th week of pregnancy, or it’s the 10th or the 9th depending on when you start counting. Before I became pregnant I never know there were different ways of counting the weeks. I also thought that the moment of conception could be pinpointed exactly. When in fact becoming pregnant is a whole process starting with intercourse and ending with implantation that could have happened 2 weeks after the intercourse.

Right up until about week 7 I felt normal except for a little tiredness and some breast tenderness. But wow when week 7 came, the nausea came. It was quite bad for the next two weeks. It was like a constant queasiness that I felt in the top of my my throat that radiated down to my stomach. One day at work I even contemplated just going home and laying on the couch. This meant it was quite bad because as it is I only have one sick day left.

After those 2 weeks the nausea seemed to subside a little. Well it was more like the queasiness that I had previously felt radiating from the top of my throat through my stomach just dropped. After those 2 hard weeks I only felt nausea in my stomach. What a strange concept, right?

This morning with the start of week 11, I noticed that I did not feel nauseous and that non nausea feeling continued until I started getting hungry for lunch at around 11:00 am. At 12:30 when I went home and my wonderful husband had made me some scrambled eggs and toast like I requested, I was dumb and verbally stated out load to him that it seemed that the nausea had subsided a lot. I almost felt normal. Really dumb move. After lunch that same old familiar friend, nausea, returned to reside in my stomach. If the show ain’t over until the fat lady sings, then the nausea ain’t over until the first trimester ends.
