Week 8 (and 9 and 10 and 11 and...): Morning sickness symptons:

- all day nausea
- gagging induced by smells (Thai food, pollution, strong cleaning fluids)
- occasional vomiting
- sensitive nose
- headaches
- excess saliva
- very bad wind

I've spoken to a pal who gave birth recently and a pal who is now pregnant and they said they didn't have ANY symptoms. Life is not fair.

But it's not as bad as my sister-in-law - vomiting has become almost an automatic reflex, poor soul.

I know though, of course, I'm very lucky to be pregnant at all - I could easily have had trouble conceiving, especially given my age (35). So, I do thank God for that. But whoever said women 'bloom' in pregnancy needs a good kick up the ass.
