In reply to the discussion: Duchess of Cambridge pregnant [View all]Samantha
(9,314 posts)and I was 5'l". I knew I was pregnant at 2 weeks because I started getting sick to my stomach. Perhaps once in my life I had been sick to my stomach, but if so, I did not remember it. With each passing week, the problem got worse. I would upchuck so many times in the day, when nothing was left, I heaved green stomach bile. As time went on, my doctor told me I had to get it under control or go in the hospital because the baby was not receiving enough nourishment. But I had no idea how to get it under control, I did everything he suggested, even eating crackers incessantly.
Eventually, they decided I had a disorder similar to that which makes people ill when they fly on airplanes. Not the same thing, in the same family though. They decided I had to take some medicine and so I did. It did not help. But at about 6.5 months, all this quit happening. My daughter was born 17 days early and weighed 5 pounds 8 ounces.
Since the actually birthing process started at 10:30 that morning when my water broke and my daughter was born at 1:02, after I had only one contraction, my doctor said I was built for having babies. I responded, that is a shame, because this is it for me. And I was someone who had wanted six children!
