I've been hearing some really crazy news this last several months, there have been several people that live around us that have had some really serious health issues and I just found out a few weeks ago that a good friend from high school has cancer (he's doing well by the way). It makes me wonder what the world is coming too or am I just getting to that age where this stuff happens? It seems like everyone is way too young to be going through this stuff. It also makes me feel like my problems are so insignificant. I complain a lot but I shouldn't, I don't have room to when I think of them and their families. They are all in our prayers, and are super troopers.
I just went to my Dr appointment yesterday. I'm 16 weeks and my ultra sound is scheduled in 5 weeks. I'm excited to see the baby growing and hopefully see that it's healthy. I was able to hear the heartbeat, with my history hearing the heartbeat every month is a great thing. The Dr said everything looks great, other than being sick. He said I could try another drug, prednisone, but it will make me balloon, like 10 lbs in 5 days, lots of water weight. I'm weighing my options. I'd never heard of that one to control nausea.

I tell you Teri, you CAN afford to gain some weight, especially if it is going to make you feel better. Can't wait till 5 weeks, yeah!
I always thought prednisone was a steroid?! Would that really help with nausea? If so, and there are no side-effects (other than weight gain), then go for it!
Hello
I forgot to mention yesterday...I've done the prednisone thing. The water-weight is not fun...but if it works...
Love ya! Hope you're having a good day.
Ya know, I was at Good Earth the other day and they have stuff to help with this kind of thing. Have you tried anything natural?
Prednisone for nausea? Weird. Hope it works...I love how you're "weighing" your options. :)
Dear Teri,
I hate the snow, too!
But I love you.
Love your favorite 21 year-old Kirk niece,
Allie
Oh Teri, I can't believe you are still feeling so sick. I hope you're able to find something to make you feel better even if it does make you gain a lil weight. :( Can't wait to find out what you're having! Hope all is well and PLEASE seriously let me know if I can help you out with anything at all :)
Hey My Sissa!

Love ya
