Bad-day for Vanitha

Feb 17

This was a pretty bad day for her, she did not feel good all day, was feeling drowsy and had a head ache from the time she woke up in the morning.

And it turns out that this is again normal in Pregnancy – This is an extract for Head Aches during 16 weeks from www.parenting.com :-

“If you feel like you’ve got a permanent head cold, it’s because more blood than usual is flowing to your mucous membranes, causing them to swell.” – “Suffering from a headache? Skip the aspirin and ibuprofen, which aren’t safe for pregnant women since they could hurt your baby’s development.”

She also vomited all she had eaten that day late in the evening, It brought back memories of her pathetic situation she faced during her first trimester,  vomiting all day – well it was only once, but the intensity was the same.

She becomes so weak after such vomits and with that added headache, man she was feeling miserable and the worst part of it all is that you cannot do anything to help her feel better. You can only stand with a bottle of water and a napkin next to her when she is vomiting and try consoling her that this is the last of such vomits she will come across.
