Ugh. I hate pre-natals. I just hate them.
I haven't started taking my iron supplement yet. I want to hold off as long as I can because I know how crappy they are. If a full dose of my pre-natals, cutting out black tea, and adding eggs and vitamin C to my diet doesn't up my iron levels, then I'll have to take the supplements. But for a month I'm hoping to bring them up naturally.
Not that the pre-natals are symptom free. I was SO nauseous yesterday, the first day I took all 4 pills like I'm supposed to. I managed to eat a good dinner (baked salmon with mustard dill sauce, roasted potatoes and salad) but I by no means felt good while doing it. And the fish oil makes me nauseous too. Even when I took it right before bed, I woke up in the middle of the night feeling like I was about to hurl. I just stayed low and went back to sleep, but it's not an experience I care to repeat every single night. And that was on a 1/2 dose of the fish oil, too.
Just freaking UGH! Why does my body have to react to everything by making me nauseous? I'm so tired of it. I told Dan last night to remind me about this when in the forseeable future I start to want another baby. Because I do. I'm so not done with two. But I'm so done being pregnant, big time. I had a huge headache yesterday as well, but of course can't take anything for it. Seriously, if it weren't for the nausea I'd be fine with all the other crap that goes along with it. I'd deal with the heartburn, the constant need to eat, the backaches and night waking, the Braxton Hicks that hurt like hell, the peeing every six seconds, the fatigue, the birth...everything. But I just can't do the nausea. I just can't do it.
Buh. I was so happy that I was starting to feel better. Now it's like I've been set back a month where I'm useless after 6 pm again.
And I can't have tea! *wails*
