I'm going to be a mum!

It is quite alright ♥
Can I still be faux mean to you from time to time?
I promise not to drag your child into it, honest

I've always thought of you as level headed.
You have a home a future husband and are studying to be a stand up member of the community.
I have no worries you will be a great mum - right NOW.

 

Good god, please don't ever stop being mean, I'd get worried if you did.

And thank you for the encouraging words. I think we'll be alright too.

 

This will not be a problem.

This is also not a problem.

 

That's so great Jo! Congrats!!!

 

Protein. Crackers with peanut butter were my savior when I was preggo with the twins. Sometimes you've got to force it down but I swore by it, always helped when I was queasy.

Peppermint works well too, I'd either suck on mints or make some peppermint tea.

Anything with ginger works great too!

 

Hey thanks for the tips Crackers and peanut butter.. I need to try that. And ginger too, however peppermint tea hasn't worked for me at all.. if anything it makes it worse.

So far, toast seems to help a little bit. That, and diet coke. I know it's not the healthiest thing, but I only take a few sips if I feel really awful and that does the trick. Tim got me some that's caffeine-free so it shouldn't be too bad.

 

Thanks

 

i've obviously never been pregnant, but in my experience ginger works MIRACLES for virtually any kind of stomach upset other than heartburn/too much stomach acid. especially nausea! i've heard a number of pregnant/formerly pregnant women also say that it works just as well for pregnancy related nausea, so i would highly recommend getting things with ginger in them. hell, even get fresh ginger at the grocery and some empty gelatin capsules (they're cheap) and when you feel ill grate it and capsule it up and take that. fresh ginger should work the best.

it's the first herbal medicine i ever tried that i found to have 100% legitimate medicinal value to it (other than cannabis, that is)

but yeah, like i said, being male i've never been pregnant, but i can't recommend ginger enough for pregnancy. has to be real ginger, though.

You are such a troll. People congratulate others for popping out kids when the person who's doing the kid popping wants a kid. So if you don't want kids, fine, you go cut your sack off, but stop raining on other people's parades.

 

i usually keep some crystallized ginger on hand (which you can get the at the bulk bins in the groceries here) for when my tummy gets upset... snacking on a piece both tastes good and helps my tummy mellow out

 

it is pretty weird having known you for so long.. makes me feel either old or retarded in the literal sense of the term.. I think you were 16 when I first read a post of yours! hehe and now you're gonna a mom.. wow..

I can't believe I almost got MARRIED at 18.. turns out.. I'm the biggest baby now! Probably won't get married or have kids.. or not for a while anyways! when I used to have all these plans in order for before 25.. I can't see myself with a kid now actually.. need-to-grow-up-much!
