I must preface this by saying that I have never actually thrown up for any of my pregnancies. I am so grateful for that, and I know that it could be much worse.
However, it doesn't take away from the general ickiness that comes from feeling nauseous from about 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. or so. I don't remember it lasting all day with my last two pregnancies, but this time around I haven't been feeling "right" until about dinnertime. It is probably good to have two little "distractions", because if I'm running around building tents and making crafts I don't have time to think about my churning stomach.
A couple things that have helped a little bit (other than being distracted) is fresh air and eating. The other day I was feeling particularly yucky and we decided to go for a "nature walk". This just means we wandered around the block picking up sticks, leaves, and pinecones, but the crisp air helped out for some reason.
Eating has helped too, even though many times nothing sounds good, so I have to force something down. Other days, I just eat...and eat...and eat. For example, I sat down one afternoon and proceeded to eat about 20 crackers with cheese spread. Probably not the best idea for every day, but it helped for that day.
At least I know there is an end to it...and as Ben said to me the other day...it will probably be the last time that I'll have to go through it. I told him to be quiet...I'm not ready to think about that yet...let's just deal with today for now...
I think part of my problem is when I'm feeling yucky, nothing sounds good to eat, so I feel like I'm digging through my cupboards on a daily basis to find something...anything...that sounds tasty.
