What I've learned from Nausea:

The past few weeks have taught me a few hard learned lessons:

• Sit. When your body says "sit"- do so immediately
• Eat. Regardless of how bad you feel- and do so often. Eat before you go to bed, eat as soon as you wake up before getting out of bed, EAT! Snack. Indulge. That one little chocolate covered donut before climbing out of bed can make all the difference. Thanks to nausea, I've been losing weight- so I'm not worried about the donut if that's the only thing that sounds good. It's more important to eat. I can't put anything down in large enough amounts for it to matter anyway.
• Drink. Even if you can only handle small amounts at a time- dehydration is no one's friend and comes with a host of awful symptoms.Gatorade has been my greatest craving.
• Sleep. A lot. Go to bed early, sleep in, take naps. 
• Rest. Sit down, lay down, read a book, watch a movie, waste time on pinterest. Physically and mentally give yourself downtime. The pressure of being the sole nutrient provider for a little one and the environment for them to grow and development is enough to stress anyone out. Fear of miscarriage creeps in and thoughts of "am I doing this right?" can be suffocating. Lots of physical and mental rest help. 

As it turns out, the consequence of not doing these things is vomit. Sometimes vomit will come regardless, but these things really do seem to make a difference. I've actually had a few good days lately. You know, the kind where you can almost make it through a thorough tooth brushing without gagging. It's lovely.
