Just a Little Bit
Is this the start of something bad or not?
I didn’t actually barf, but you know when you barf a little into your mouth. It’s that gross stomach acid stuff. Have you ever done that?
See, I am the “Queen of Barfing!”
I have spent a grand total of 23 months barfing. That’s not counting anytime I might have had the flu over the past 30 years. That is just pregnancy barfing, and seeing as I have been pregnant for a grand total of 35 months – I was sick for more than half of those months. Amazing, that I have kept of getting pregnant knowing that it’s not been so great of a trip. I have barfed just about anything that you can think of.
I spent the first 4 months of my first pregnancy sleeping on the bathroom floor of our little apartment in Burnaby. Lost 30 pounds. It wasn’t pretty. The worst episode(that I can remember) was when I was pregnant with Jeremy and I had made Fish(sole) and Rice and Carrots and Peas. I finished my plate and then ran directly to the bathroom and threw it all up into the sink. Jon didn’t get there fast enough with a bucket and I won’t barf into the toilet. Remember my germ-thing, I hate splashback. Okay, this is getting a little gross. I’ll get back to my story.
I’ve not felt too bad so far, except for the TIRED, I had a funny feeling yesterday that I couldn’y explain. I wondered if it was the set up to getting sick. I don’t want to be sick – it’s not fun – feels bad too! Imagine the last time that you had the flu, you know how you barf and then usually you feel a little bit better. I don’t feel any better – I still feel like barfing, and I have to keep drinking water until my stomach settles down or else I dry-heave forever. Then this morning I wondered again….’nuther funny feeling. This morning I helped my mom to clean again, and I bent over to pick something up off the floor and I barfed right into my mouth. YUCK! I didn’t retch, the stomach bile just slid up my throat and into my mouth. It almost made me throw up, but I made it to the sink, dealt with it, and had drink of water. This is a little earlier than I usually experience the whole morning sickness thing. Usually it doesn’t hit until after 6 weeks, and I’m not quite 6 weeks yet. Maybe it was the egg and toast I had for breakfast mixed with coffee. Don’t know why that would have done it though? Regardless,

Hi Patti yes I well remember the feeling,the only thing for me was once I (barfed) never thought ofthat but it sounds like a pretty good word for it. BUT JUST THINK another proof that you really are pregnant,we prayed for this.????Now I will pray that this part it does not last long. For me once I had barfed I could go back and enjoy a meal and it stayed down . Wi8ll come and see you to-morrow ,but will phone fiirst to see if it is O.K or if you have plans. WE had a nice dinner at John and Del Canns to-night that is why You did not hear from me. Sleep well .love you

Needing to barf is the worst feeling… actually doing it makes you feel better.
I was always better if I had a cracker in my mouth and could get it down then sometimes it would stay down.
I will pray that you do not have to go that way this time. I will pray that this will be the best pregnancy ever. Love you

All this talk about barfing is kind of making me miss McDonalds more then usual.
I can’t believe you don’t barf into the toilet. Seriously, you must have deep sinks.. because when I barf it comes out at 100km/hour. You wanna talk about “splashback”? Yuck. I’d rather have diluted toilet water then pure barf on my own face.
heh. I kind of miss Taco Bell, too…
