Second Trimester

The new year was a hard slog - 24 hours a day. The morning sickness was all day sickness and I lived with a plastic container in my bag which I could rinse out and reuse! The train trips into work were so hard. Once I was feeling incredibly green on the train and had to get off. Unfortunately I was on an express from Cheltenham to South Yarra and was sick down my front before the stop. I had to get off and try to clean myself up, call Robbie to say I was on my way home and get up the courage to hop on the next train back to Seaford. This became a familiar occurance.

Along with the sickness I also had terrible dizzy spells and once I passed out on the train to have sime girls around me pouring a bottle of water down my back. Again, had to return home. Once I was aware of the warning signs I could quietly mention to the person sitting next to me I was ill and to watch my bag if I should happen to faint! What a hopeless situation to be in surrounded by strangers!

On the 21st March we traveled up to Tathra for Robbie's cousin's wedding. It was a tough gig trying to find something to wear to a beach wedding when you're 5 months pregnant! It was a lovely weekend away and the sickness didn't wreak too much havoc. I was naughty and ate lots of fresh prawns that were irresistible! The list of things that you can and cannot eat while pregnant went out the window that weekend!!
