i went to the doctor today for my intake. i told them i needed a prescription for my nausea and i ended up getting a suppository. so here i am thinking a suppository doesn't sound *that* bad, just stick it up my vagina and i'm good to go... only i realized it doesn't go up my vagina... no wonder she gave me all those gloves!

i've also lost 6 pounds in a week. pregnancy = best diet ever?

i asked if i'd get an early u/s since i transferred there halfway through my finn pregnancy and didn't know how they did things. she said i'd get one if i decided to do the (word i can't remember) testing (for down syndrome and such). at my last doctor they just did bloodwork for that so i was going to skip it this time, but now i'm doing it because i really want the extra u/s. so that'll be on september 18th and i can't wait. i also have an appointment on the 4th and i'm hoping to hear the heartbeat, i think i'll be around 9 weeks 3 days or so.

nick is bringing home my awesome butt suppositories. i hope they work.

Nick is being "home" about the suppositories?? Gotta love it!

I really hope it works for you. The suppositories really don't sound too bad if they get rid of your horrible nausea. The 4th is just around the corner. I hope you hear the heartbeat as well!! Please let us know if your prescription works.

Wow, poor Bridget! I'm so sorry you feel so ill! Crying
or Very sad I hope the pills help! I didn't know suppositories could help morning sickness though... it's in your butt, not your stomach... Neutral but I'm not a doctor, so what do I know? Laughing

I miss you, Bridget!

Hey Bridge, I wish I could take the nausea from you.I'd wave my wand and you'd be all well and happy. Suppositories are a good thing......my ass use to say EXIT ONLY, but not since the discovery of the SUPPOSITORY! When my daughter was a baby she was given these for nausea and it worked. Not sure what they give babies these days or adults. I do hope you feel better soon. How's the Finn Meister? Give him bigs hugs for me! Laughing

I think they give suppositories so that the drug would get into her system. I doubt she'd be able to keep the pill down if they were to give her pills.

It's kinda like when they give sick babies tylenol suppositories because they're continually vomiting.

I'm sorry you're feeling horrible. Try your hardest to stay hydrated. I'd hate for you to have to go to the hospital for dehydration! Crying

I agree with Sarah and the others, I hope those suppositories work for you! Losing 6 pounds isn't to great. Please don't get de-hydrated, hospitals are not fun. Hope Finn Is doing okay. Hope you don't have to work until you get to feeling better! I have been thinking and wondering about you, we want our Bridget back. Glad you are getting an ultrasound, hope everything is okay! No need giving you oral meds, you might lose them too. Have you been able to keep anything down?

thanks everyone! i feel loved!

well, the phenegran is not the miracle i'd hoped for. it does take the edge off and make me feel less sick, but i still feel crappy and on top of that it makes me groggy. i can eat again though, but i'm very picky and still have a ton of aversions.

i feel so bad for finn and nick. finn watches tv practically all day and drags himself around whining because he's bored. nick has been stuck taking care of all the household chores after he gets home from working all day. it's hard not to feel really down, but i'm trying to remind myself it's just temporary.

i seriously had no idea that morning sickness could be this bad. if my first pregnancy had been this bad i really don't know if i would've wanted to try again. it's a relief to know i won't be getting pregnant for at least a few years after this and hopefully it won't be this bad.

thanks for thinking of me! i miss you all!

Yeah, it really sucks doesn't it?

I would spend all day throwing up, or dry gagging. The funny thing for me was that it was almost the entired second term before it went away, and was all day long.

Hope you feel better soon Bridget. I need some Finn pictures.
