Nausea rant

I had very bad nausea in my first trimester too, from week 6 all the way to week 14. I couldn’t look at food or smell it. Spent my weekends in bed cos I was just too exhausted and I was constantly hugging a bucket in case I have to vomit. It was a very dark time for me cos I’m someone who really enjoys and looks forward to eating. I wasted a lot of money on food cos once I bought something, I didn’t feel like eating it anymore. Couldn’t even go dabao food at the hawker cos of the smell. What helped me was small pieces of bread and soup. Sometimes I just drank milo or milk for a meal. That’s probably all I depended on and lost a lot of weight. Don’t let worries like “but I’m not feeding my child well” get to you, no point force feeding yourself and throwing it all up. Your body has enough reserves for baby! Don’t give up, mummy! You are stronger than you think. When the second trimester comes, you will feel a lot better and you will also start to feel the small movements in your tummy. Look forward to that! The connection will come once you start feeling the little movements!
