Blargh

If you're easily grossed out by talk of barfing, stop reading now.

This wasn't supposed to happen. You're supposed to get morning sickness during your first trimester and then it wanes at the second or it keeps going. I thought I was safe, because I was totally fine during the first trimester. But the moment I hit week 15: BLARGH. I haven't actually thrown up yet, but during the day, I get hit by these waves of "ooh...my stomach feels weird" followed by dry heaving. (I know, it's so gross. I warned you!) Candied ginger helps a bit, but nothing else really does. It's also kind of embarrassing, because have you ever seen the look of someone about to barf? Not pretty. In fact, it's alarming because you think the person's about to puke on you. So I try to keep the barf face hidden. It's easy enough during work, as I can just hide in my cube, but when I'm out and about, I end up trying to hide in my jacket or behind the person I'm with. Bleh. Hate this.
