Day 3!

[Kendraerika]

Sorry to keep posting. Things change from day to day, and I am taking joy in each day sober, because I kno each day without is one more drug free day for my baby. Today, I forced myself to get of my butt and make my daughter and husband a huge brunch. Waiting for the food to cook, I stretched my achy muscles. While they ate I enjoyed a relaxing shower. No kids to worry about, hot water to sooth my aches, and doing nothing but enjoying each minute, it was so refreshing. Amazing what I am thankful for and enjoying all over again. I got a bit of rest, and tho I still feel the wd, and increasing pain, the reason for the pain pills anyways, I seem to be better then yesterday,  and tyrants all I can hope for.

I think I reached my limit. Going to try and sleep. This time change makes me feel as if it is much later!

Just do what you can. Try to work in ten minute intervals.  It's not a 100 meter.  It's more like a marathon!  Gotta pace yourself and take it as you can!

Made my family mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, cranberries, and salsberry streak. All boil water and add, microwave, open a can ect, but I'm trying. I entirely could eat this meal minus the heartburn streak, lol, but trying to get as much nourishment and sleep for this baby, and still try to help the family. Slow progress but progress.looking forward to each day.

Wonderful......you did it exactly right!  Great attitude will help so much!  

I'm proud of you! : )

Tramahater, yes I did this with my doc. Just in time, as I read my baby is starting to drink the amniotic fluid, and I believe that would have been worse with meds in my system! Now to get my ulcer healed so I can stop taking those meds too. Finally got the stuff that works as my insurance wil only pay for it when I'm pregnant! I went from taking 4 prilosec a day to one protonix. Then I'm only taking prenatal, and some tylenol.

this kind of an attitude can only help

Tomorrow will be fine.  You'll have good and bad days, but the worst is over.  Just remember those hot showers.  They help so many of the bad feelings.  

Congrats of your pregnancy and on day 3!  Did you taper and do this under a docs supervision?

[Kendraerika]

Thank you. The encouragement helps. Spending a lot more time with my daughter today. Playing and watching the movie Cars together. Tomorrow I'm on my own so I hope it goes ok.

Glad to hear you felt well enough to make brunch.  That is huge.  Being pregnant, going thru withdrawals and cooking!  That is amazing.  Good for you.  Keep up the good work.
