Jan. 25th, 2013 10:05 pmmay have found the right combo of meds and the 15-20 week HG slowdown that left me able to EAT today, and how, and relatively lucid all day.
We'll see. I get one good day then a run of relapse, but food!!! this pregnancy would be great if I got a fraction of my life back.
Was able to get a bit of studio work done, and generally, its been the most normal day since week 5.
i miss designing and writing and a clean house. I miss going for brunch with R.
No chance of gaining 7 lb in 2 weeks tho so I have the stinkeye coming for weight loss at the next appt. I'm learning to just EAT and not fret "too many calories" because right now, I need 1800-2k a day and I'm getting 700 on a good day, 200 on a bad day, 0 on the worst days.
Right now I've lost what I should actually have gained for the entire pregnancy, so I'm running a 50 lb deficit, ( which would leave me at my starting weight or near, as it is, I expect to be lower than, when I deliver. I mean I had weight to lose, but this wasn't the way to do it. )
the magnesium supplements seem to help. Symptoms of deficiency: nausea, vomiting, lack of appetite, fatigue, muscle cramps, *twitchy legs. *which tipped us off, really)
So my belleh hurts from FOOD, but not in a "gotta puke" way. Please let me get back to my life, it'll make the next 5 months go by so much nicer if I can go shopping for baby things with R ( he's shopping a storm) and do my creative work. even a bit.
