Morning sickness

Well, the title says it all. I was hoping, as I was in my 6th week I would manage not to feel morning sickness. I haven't had so much luck, it started Wednesday. I do however, have enough luck that it isn't as bad as it could be. I can still manage to eat, I just need to plan well and make sure that I don't wait too long between meals. Drinking water helps a lot at keeping it a bit at bay. I had Thai food for dinner last night, and the ginger (I ordered ginger chicken) helped enormously. It was the first time since waking up Wednesday that I didn't feel at all nauseous. I keep thinking that from everything I've read, this is a good sign that the placenta is developing well.

Other than that, on Tuesday I got a call from the Doctor with the results of my blood tests. "Everything looks fine, except the doctor would like you to come in and redo your hCG, some sort of lab mix up." I asked for clarification, but again was told that it was just some sort of difficulty with the reading. Wednesday I headed back to the Dr. office after work, got my paperwork for the labs and went to get one more lab done, nervous the whole time that this was a bad sign and in actuality my levels were too low. I started to get a bit worked up and decided, after looking closely at the lab sheet that the Dr. had checked the wrong box and only gotten a qualitative, not quantitative result thus I needed to test again. The morning sickness and Jeff helped me calm down on this point. As he said when I told him how I was feeling "well, that's a good sign."

I got the call yesterday that everything looks good, so now it's just waiting for the OB appointment in 2 weeks.

Finally, for all those who have been curious about the fibro, it is still here, as strong as ever. I've done more than my body is happy with the last few days, and I felt for it last night and this morning. I stayed home from work today, making sure to take extra good care of myself.
