Morning sickness

Nausea has hit with a vengeance this morning. I haven't actually vomited, but I've been sucking ginger candy and had my nose in a bag of lemons before I left for work. And it's only supposed to get worse in the next couple of weeks!

With luck I'll make it through the day without needing to run off to purge but that's seeming almost unlikely right now.

Afternoon update:
I have felt queezy ALL DAY! I'm sick of ginger candy, lemonade and fizzy water! How many weeks does this bit last again? Plus I just called a friend to whine (and I guess tell her I'm pregnant) and got her voicemail. So I hung up and will just mope at my desk.

Week 6?

I'm thoroughly confused as to how these weeks are calculated. Apparently they start counting from last menstruation (you know, BEFORE you're pregnant) which means I'm entering week 6 (or five?) even though conception was around the first week of February. Most calculators I've looked at don't take into account cycle length (mine is longer) so say six weeks, but those that do peg me at five. Whatever. I still need to make a doctor's appointment today.

Still, it seems things are right on time in terms of symptoms as I've been nauseous for the past hour. That could also be from breakfast, but I don't even know any more. I'm starting to see everything as a pregnancy symptom.

As it happens, I do have a doctor's appointment today, but it's just the dermatologist. I'm rather looking forward to it because a) my psoriasis is out of control, and b) I get to tell someone I'm pregnant. Ever since test two came out positive we've both been bursting to say something, but it is just way too soon. The time will come though and then there will still be the long haul for being hugely pregnant in the summer.
