What’s Happening: Pregnancy Week By Week

Pregnancy Week By Week | Weeks 5-9
When I still enjoyed coffee

Week 5 – We found out about baby #3 on a Saturday morning in early December. I had a few clues but wasn’t 100% sure, but after 3 positive pregnancy tests, it was safe to say we were pregnant!

Week 6 – Pregnancy symptoms struck this week! Lots of nausea, that weird bad taste in my mouth that just doesn’t go away, exhaustion…even though I’ve been through this experience two times before, I forgot how truly awful I feel early on. Definitely not complaining, though, as it’s well worth the physical struggle!

Christmas Eve service – I felt so terrible this night!

Week 7 – I spent Christmas Eve and most of Christmas Day on the sofa. I ran out of the only anti-nausea medicine that works (Diclegis) and the pharmacy was closed for the holidays so I had to wait until that Wednesday to get more! Talk about a rough couple of days.

Week 8 – Felt like I turned a little corner this week in terms of how I feel but still feeling waves of nausea. Diclegis helps tremendously, as does Zantac (side note, I never had indigestion in any previous pregnancy!). My family was visiting this week for a late Christmas celebration, so I had to spill the beans because there was no way I could pretend to feel ‘normal’ the entire time!

Week 9 – This ended up being a crazy week, as we had already planned a trip to Dallas, TX before we found out I was pregnant. I was really worried about feeling awful the entire time, but my doctor gave me a few Zofran to take on the plane, and that eased my mind (and nausea) quite a bit! I ended up feeling decent during the day, so we were able to get out and sightsee. I was on my own with the girls Monday-Wednesday, and I think I did pretty good letting them explore the city while dealing with all-day nausea, all things considered! I have to admit, I was relieved to get home and back on a normal schedule – but the first day back to school and mom life was rough…the trip exhaustion caught up with me!

Stay tuned for my next pregnancy week by week update – tackling Weeks 10-12!
