Ok I will answer Barb first.
My nausea is kind of like when you have too much post-nasal drip in your tummy. Sometimes it is worsened by the burning sensation of hunger. Vomiting made it no better. There is no particular time that it is worse. It is all day long. The smell of foods and dirty diaper things make it worse. The smell of some aromatherapy makes it better. I feel the need to drink quite often throughout the day and sometimes I want cold (when not so nauseated) and other times I want lukewarm to hot when nauseated. I feel better right away and then it gets worse after it "settles". I am belching like heartburn throughout the day although the belches don't have acid in them. I am more gassy than usual. I have tried some ginger/peppermint tes and it works while I am drinking it but goes away after it settles. I have also used Emetrol and it works good, but I have to keep redosing.
Snoopy, my disposition the first day was scared (financially). I am now excited and have everything planned out already. I have had dizziness for about 3 weeks now, enough to give me those floaters in the eyes when I move too quickly. Fresh air helps a bit. My cravings have not been too substantial. There is no real desire for anything aside from relief. My tongue is coated, and that was something I first noticed about a week ago. It kind of worried me. My husband says that my breath is horrible all the time.
Oh, and there is no real pain in my abdomen except for the gas pains. I do have cramping that I have talked to the OB about and they have noted that it isn't anything to get worried about.
