My sixth week brought the worst "morning" sickness yet. I use the term morning very loosely as it happens through all hours of the day and night. The last two days specifically have been the most unbearable. Yesterday I ended up leaving work about an hour early because staying upright was challenging. The rest of the evening and night followed with me waking up to horrible nausea but without the sweet relief of actually throwing up. Graphic I know, but nearly as much as what is surely going on in my belly.
From what I've read I should be grateful for this experience because nausea is equated with higher levels of progesterone and estrogen, which means that the embryo should be getting well planted. I'm happy to provide a warm home for my little apple seed but oh does it come at a price.
