Now I absolutely hate it. Nothing sounds good. I have always been a big eater too. It's difficult to get anything down but green apples and lemons. Everything else makes me feel sick. I clotted and bled on Sunday so I went in yesterday to have an ultrasound. So far everything seems normal in there. Baby appears to be right on track. I won't relax until after 14 weeks since that is when I miscarried in Januray. Everything seemed normal and on track then too. So I wll just have to stay nervous.
I haven't had access to a computer lately. I have taken off work since last Friday due to my shame and stress levels so I am using my DH's computer today. I just can't bring myself to go in to work. I will have to tomorrow though. :( My lack of social skills gets me in trouble at work all the time. I just hate having to go in to face all the disapproval. I get tired of being the topic of office gossip. It's very hurtful. I have been hiding out at home. Gotta face it again eventually I suppose.

Have you tried "nibbling" on saltine crackers during the day....nothing on them, nothing fancy, just crackers. That was the ONLY way DW could keep anything down while pregnant with DD. If she tried to wait from one meal to another, the next meal would not go down, much less STAY down.
Even as a male, can understand the nervousness after a miscarriage/stillbirth. I didn't stop being nervous until I saw that perfect little miracle under the lamps on the weight table. DW was an even worse wreck....made at least two unscheduled visits to the OB/GYN (maybe more) because of not being able to remember when the baby had moved last....not that I objected AT ALL, even encouraged her once if not both times. DW's GYN was the same for the miscarriage and her last pregnancy, so she was as nervous as both of us. DW called, GYN cleared a spot on her schedule and told DW to come on in.
Also can relate to social issues at work....afraid I am always looked upon as the site screw up. {{{{{hugs}}}}}on that and keep your chin up. I read a book somewhere that made a point about one not being as talked about as one believes....after all, there is probably more interesting things going on than our own private little hells.
Good luck and more hugs,

There you are! I was worried about you. I'm glad to hear everything is on track. I'm sorry your sick (me too, I'm living on mac n' cheese and watered down cranberry juice right now), but that's a good sign too they tell me.
Feel better! Thanks for updating.

It's been almost 20 years and I can still remember those days vividly- I survived on mashed potatoes, milk, dry toast and cold cereal the entire 9 months-LOL, and still had a very healthy almost 10lb baby!
pommom,
TK's DW here I can feel for you. As he said I was VERY NERVOUS throughout my last preg. At 22 weeks (the time we lost our first DD) with my next DD I was sitting at the computer and noticed I hadn't felt her move in awhile so I called the Doc. Was very glad when she came out screaming. There was some fear of none mature lungs because Doc induced at 36 wks, so hearing her scream as she came out (yes as she came out) was a real load off my mind. I was also in a major depression at the time. If you would like to talk about this further just click on my name and you can email me at my home email.
I found I could keep milk down if I used the instant breakfast powder in it with my first preg. If I tried just milk it wouldn't stay down. I don't really remember anything else I could eat except the crackers. I bought the whole wheat ones so at least there was some nutrition however slight.
Take care and keep in touch.
