If you have been reading my blog for a while, you may remember that I am sometimes slow to react to things emotionally. Apparently, this trend goes beyond emotions... I got my first bout of morning sickness on Sunday. I had some food aversions in the first trimester, but I never had any real nausea (only "mini" nausea) or vomiting. At 19w2d I lost my breakfast. I noticed the eggs I was cooking smelled weird to me. However, I had just purchased them, they had an expiration date sometime in June, and they were the expensive all natural, organic, free range eggs. I just figured that I was being a little picky pg lady and ignored my feelings. I had a very healthy meal (scrambled eggs, cantaloupe, english muffin, and OJ). Then, I went to brush my teeth. Then, I saw all of my breakfast again. I do tend to have an overactive gag reflex while brushing my teeth, but this was uncalled for!
Frankly, I was really taken off guard. On the authority of MANY sources, I thought morning sickness wasn't a problem after the 1st tri was over... Monday I had another food aversion warning as I was fixing my breakfast. This time, I heeded the warning and ate something different (and very plain!). I still felt a little queasy, but I didn't loose anything. I had another food smell aversion at dinner time last night and, again, chose something plain instead. This morning I didn't notice any aversions, so hopefully I won't have to look at my breakfast again.
If this problem continues, I will ask my doc about it. Is this normal? I haven't heard of any stories of morning sickness showing up for the first time in the 2nd tri. I guess someone has to be the exception, I'm just not sure I'm happy being that person...
In other news, baby is still alive and kicking. Life is still good. =)

You know, I still have revisits of the puke fairy every once in awhile. It seems to happen mostly if I eat too much - and really not even that much, just too fast. Your stomach is getting smaller and kicked a lot, so that might have something to do with it.
Also, I have had some heartburn, and nausea and vomiting go with that lovely symptom.
But yes, check it out with you doctor if it doesn't resolve soon.
Sorry about seeing your breakfast again. I am sure that was not so pleasant. Glad baby is doing well and kicking.
This is never a fun scenario
I am sorry you lost your breakfast!
I am sure all is well ... but perhaps asking the doc about it will ease your mind:)
My sickness returned between weeks 17 and 20. It was very strange and then I started to feel better again. Granted, I had MS from 6 weeks until like 13 weeks, and I still feel nauseous at times. So, it sounds pretty normal to me! :)
I hope you get to leave this party very soon! I know it's no fun. At least you learned from the first episode to pick the plain meal. I'm a slow learner. ;-)
Hope you feel better soon!
I'm glad the baby is doing well, and I'm sorry about the late onset morning sickness. Yes I have heard of it. My friend from work had her onset of morning (all day) sickness around 17 weeks. I think the first trimester stuff is more common, but the second trimester can happen too. I hope you are feeling better soon!
