Yesterday morning I thought I had a mild case of quickie food poisoning caused by a suspicious orange. Right after Dave left in the morning, I’d eaten an orange that was a bit on the dry side, but wasn’t bad tasting or anything, just not yummy. An hour later I totally got sick. Ya know that Seinfeld episode where he talks about not vomiting for like 15 years? Well, let’s just say I WAS working on year 14! After that little yuckiness, I felt fine and went to the midwife’s office. Then I got home and got to be sick for the whole rest of the day. Even water wouldn’t stay down. Dave brought home some ginger ale (that stuff is gross without having an upset stomach), but I have to admit it actually was the only thing that stayed down all day.
Today however, I have been absolutely fine. Either it was the orange or I had an eight-hour stomach bug which also did not cause a fever. So weird. I’m just not a stomach sick type of person so my guts must be more sensitive being pregnant.
But I have a new found respect for all those pregnant gals with morning sickness. Holy cow, if I had to be like yesterday for like 12 weeks, I’m not sure I’d live through that. Argh!
