It is said, "knowing about it is not the same as experiencing it yourself." I couldn't agree more.
We all know pregnant women go through all these changes in their body which causes all-day sickness, mood swings, fatigue and so much more, but we really don't get the real deal until we're the ones who become pregnant.
I used to ask my mother, "ammu, how come you never wanted more children?" She would answer saying how I have always been the one special gift to both her and dad. She never wanted to make me feel left out when it came to loving and caring. "but having more than one child does not mean loving one child more than the other! At the end, when you get old, you will only regret not having a bigger family," the other mothers would say. Then my mom would tell me about her long sick days throughout her 9 months. What I never knew was mom had undergone hyperemesis gravidarum. Something that im suffering from now. My poor mommy. I feel every inch of her pain now! I wouldn't wish for this condition on my worst enemy...
Each and every human body responds differently. Some have it easy, some in the middle, and some just have very bad luck! In this case, I am totally out of luck!
I was recovering from last week until suddenly I had painful stomach aching and diarrhea the entire night! Not to mention, vomiting! All at the same time, minute after minute. It was war. I hardly had any fluid in me, and whatever bits i had left just all came out! Couldn't even swallow my own saliva. So i had to get admitted to huddinge again. More iv, one more day of fasting. ER here I come....
What can I eat?
Nothing. But i finally got to drink one whole glass of water.
How is the baby?
Absolutely fine. This is my baby's way of letting me know "im growing just fine!" All those organs and organ tissues are developing so quickly. Just Amazing...
