Read a list of side effects that most women suffer during their first trimester, and you would see my name next to each one (except vomiting). But while I was spared this one side effect, this did not lessen the torture of the other side effects. After suffering for about three weeks with 24/7 nausea, I finally called my doctor who prescribed Zofran aka "miracle drug." Within one hour of taking this medicine all of my nausea disappeared. Unfortunately, the other side effects remained, which I will not bore or disgust you with. But they were manageable because I was no longer nauseated.
The most sad side effect for me: all the weight loss and tummy toning I achieved with 90 days of P90X and 60 days of Insanity disappeared. It was like it never happened. Oh well. It was bound to happen eventually, but why did it have to happen so fast?
As I write this blog, I am 9 weeks pregnant and oh so looking forward to the next trimester where I am promised relief from the first trimester side effects and more energy.
