Nausea update...

So, at my appointment yesterday, my midwife mentioned that I should be at the point that I won't be needing the meds anymore. So she suggested that I try without. So being the daredevil that I usually am not, I decided if I was going to do it last night was the night. I didn't take the usually dose right before bed. What you need to know is that this med is meant to be taken every 8 hours as needed but I was told I might only need one dose a day. That was what I was doing, the one dose daily, right before bed so by the time I woke up I would be okay.

So, this morning, I was awake long enough to use the restroom, come to the front room and sit in our desk chair. I then asked for my water next to my bed that Aidan promptly ran and got for me. I took the pill and literally 30 seconds later I was dry heaving. It only got worse from there. I determined that I did indeed keep the pill down though because about 30 minutes later (that's how long it takes to kick in) I was feeling 10 times better. I ended up throwing up and seeing stars. I was crying and miserable and upset that I still get sick. So I guess when I finish the last 13 pills I will be giving my wonderful midwives a call and explaining that I did try and no luck. We'll see what happens. Sorry for the detail, but I thought I would update.
