Bloodshot is the new Glowing!.. Morning sickness

Now that I have posted about the beginning discovery and excitement of my little miracle I wanted to do a post about how that miracle has been treating me through the 1st Trimester. More specifically how things have been in the morning sickness department. I think it differs for every woman and every pregnancy and its important to discuss it because you never know who might relate. Oh and btw I have no tips for beating morning sickness. When I find things that work, other than time, I will share them. Sry!

So I mentioned that I found out at 5weeks. One of the first things I thought of was "I feel absolutely fine! maybe I wont get bad morning sickness." HAHAHA was I wrong. Just before hitting 6 weeks I started noticing a few things.
The first thing was that I had somehow let most of the food in the fridge go bad. I threw out alot of stuff because it smelled wrong.
My hand soap and toothpaste smelled way too strong. How had I not realized they stunk this bad before?
My kitchen sink garbage disposal Must have been broken because that too smelled aweful.
News flash!! This is called pregnancy nose. lol once I recognized it I stopped checking expiration labels.
The dreaded morning sickness kicked in right after I got my super sense of smell. I should've foresaw what was coming.
(Warning. this may get gross)
At first it was just mild nausea. That was pretty much at the 6wk mark. After that the nausea got worse and then I began gagging but never throwing up. I spent entire days running back and forth to the bathroom with no gratification. Even if I was in public, it would come on and I would feel the need to run to a bathroom. In my opinion, this was worse. I kept thinking that if I just vomited I would feel better. If I got nauseated while eating I would spit up whatever food was in my mouth and have to throw the rest of my meal away only to be stricken with hunger pains shortly after.

Finally I got my wish and began actually vomiting. Not always food though. Apparently if you have no gallbladder you're more proned to vomit up bile. Bile tastes like stomach acid. Basically I would heave and heave and HEAVE and yellow colored FIRE would come up. I know that may sound weird but eventually it did turn to food. So my new stomach would make me gag and nauseous all day/every day and I would puke every other day.
One day I heaved so hard that I popped blood vessels all over my face and one eye. The face healed quickly but I had a bloodshot eye for a few weeks. It looked demonic. So much for glowing pregnancy. More like red freckle faced with the terminator eye.
Thankfully this has gotten better. I still puke but not nearly as much. I still get the red freckles from broken blood vessels but only on my cheeks. I really hope that terminator eye was a one time appearance or atleast waits till Halloween nxt time.

that red dot eventually took over the entire sclera. (white part of my eyeball)
