It's not that I don't enjoy being pregnant, but I don't enjoy being sick. I hardly ever get sick... and when I do, it's usually pretty bad. So now that I have morning sickness -- FOR REAL NOW -- I hate it. On one bad day, I called for the doctor to prescribe me something for it. I picked up the pills and popped one in my mouth. I immediately felt horrible about it. Brandon and I feel very strongly about researching everything that goes in my mouth/body and therefore into the baby. We feel like a natural, non-medicated birth is our first choice. So, if I can't even handle feeling bad now, what about when I am in labor? Ugh, I just felt horrible... mentally. Physically: SOOOOOO much better!! So, I decided that I at least had the pills if I needed them, but I would try to tough it all out.
I know that I don't have sickness like some people. But, I'll admit it, I am a pansy. So, a week later, and I have only taken one other pill (yesterday). I got sick after Subway (yuck) and strawberry jell-o. I took a pill, slept all afternoon, and had Brandon bring Taco Bell home for dinner -- which was AMAZING. It was amazing because I was feeling better... because of the pill.
So, I'm torn. Do I take the pill (which, after research, I know now has NOT been tested on pregnant women, but is prescribed to them often) and feel better and thus eat? Or... not take the pill, feel horrible, not eat, and be grumpy...... and very hungry?
Whatev. It'll all be worth it.
Right?
