Not feeling so well today. My tummy is upset and just cant sleep now.

I also have almost everyday a bleeding-nose which is very common during pregnany. It stops quickly and doesnt really give me trouble but yeah its a little annoying.

keeping it short cause i’m not feeling well but wanted to post something at least.

13 weeks and 5 days pregnant now. I am starting to feel better everyday. I still keep bed because i feel a little light in my head still and still have the acid burn in my stomach. I feel very tired quickly too.

I have ordered and received 2 crossstitch kits which I am working  now every free minut I have. Its a great way to kill time and I will have something that reminds me of these days of my pregnancy other then my child ofcourse after its born XD. When I was pregnant from my daughter I started building a website about my pregnancy and everythign baby related basically.

That site turned out to a 60 pages huge thing and it was the most visited dutch personal baby website  arround  1998 -1999.  It appeared in a small article in a dutch magazine for computer stuff and ofcourse it received tons of visitors in that period. After  a couple years I took it down. I still ahve all the files and pages ofcourse, so perhaps I could add a category at some point where I repost those  pregnancy diary stories. They where quite populair to my public at that time. Other then the pregnancy diary Ofcourse the site had a lot more to offer. It was arround that time not so easy to find cute lil animated babyimages. So I started to collect them and ofcourse posted them on my site for others to use on there pages. We had an award site, poetry. music, recipes, games and ofcourse after my daughter was born  the pictures and more stories about her daily adventures.

Right now I dont feel like doing the same kind of thing again. I allready did it right? so I’ think I’ll keep it to my blogging about it here.

Yes, I’m one of those people who like crafting, needle work, cross stitching and much more fine crafts. I also like fairies, since I am now  during my pregnancy kinda immobile and clustered to my bed, I have decided to pick up my cross stitching again.  It ended up in my closet a couple years ago but I have refound my intrest for it.

Cross stitching is an expensive hobby, threads are not cheap and the patterns and other materials  neither. So I’m looking online to find sites that give free high quality cross stitch patterns with fairies of course.

I will add a category with links to these sites that are worth a visit soon as I have a couple. If you know of any sites with such high quality fairy patterns in cross stitch, please let me know. Also  if you have some patterns you want to share with me then just let me know in a reply to this post. Thank you in advance!!!

My day’s are still the same, all day in bed and feeling sick n all o.o;. It is getting a little better and I am not taking the medication anymore. My midwife told me though that I have to keep watching my weight. I lost about 4 kilos now ( 8 pounds) and thas quite a lot since I am very lightweight allready.  My weight right now is 52 kilo (102 pounds).

I am having a change of doctor because the one we had was a bit far away and the new one is gonna be much closer. Especially now I am not feeling well this makes me feel way more comfortable.

I keep looking at baby rooms but we can not buy anything really since we are also looking for a new apartment.  I like something neutral colored and just make the details in the room colorful and matching. I really hope it wont take us long to find one… Poor Antonio will have to do all the painting in the house and perhaps wallpaper hanging, alone o.o;. At least for as long as I am pregnant and I really want to move before the baby is born o.o;. Sighs well, I’ll keep you guys posted here.

So I’m 11 weeks and 5 days pregnant now and I’m still as sick as a dog.  Aside of that I feel acid burn in my stomach all day and night too.  So I have been looking into information that will relieve this. I have not tried all the tips that I have found and that have been given to me but I’m not desperate  enough yet XD. I’m throwing up a lot I am taking a med prescribed by my doctor on advice of my midwife. Its called “Emesafene and is helping me to keep my food in XD. Milk is not very helpfull I have noticed when you have trouble keeping your food in . So I am trying to avoid that.. Although I could be completely wrong doing so.

The things I have tried and have helped me I have written in green.

Things I have not tried yet but have been said to help I have noted down in blue.

Things to avoid eating and drinking I have marked with red.

I hope I can help some people here with the information that I have here for you.

• What helps me a lot is Peppermint. Peppermint binds the stomach acid. Also tea with menthol is known to be effective.
• When you lay down in bed it helps to have the head of the bed somewhat lifted up so u don’t lay completely flat.
• Avoid eating  food that contains a lot of fat or too spicy food or simply you ate too much food. If you eat too fast it can cause acid burn as well.
• Chewing on some oat flakes, almonds, or brown bread softens the pain and eventually can stop it.
• I’m dutch and we have a dessert here known as “vanille vla” and which babelfish translates as Custard is supposed to bind the stomach acid too which then relieves the pain.  Just spoon it in slowly :). I’m gonna test this myself soon.
• Avoid thinking about food it sounds weird but it really helps.
• A knife tip of cinnamon is given as a tip as well. I have not tried this yet.
• Ive also read somewhere that a glass raw potato juice on a sober stomach in the morning is supposed to help, again, I have not tried this myself.
• Eat small portions  throughout the day instead of heavy meals 3 times a day. I eat about every 4 hours a little bit and it helps me a lot.
• No smoking (perfect reason to stop in case your not pregnant right?) No alcoholic drinks, no orange juice, drink less coffee and avoid drinking  sodas with bubbles.
• Warm milk, I have added a lil honey for the taste and here in holland they sell anis blocks, they suposed to have positive effects on stomach problems. So as soon as we bought those i try warm milk with anis.

If you have any helpful tips that can ease the pain of stomach acid burn please don’t  hesitate to leave a reply here, I be glad to add it to the list and perhaps even try it myself at the moment.
