Ultrasound & Vitamin B

We had an ultrasound last week.  I was just at 13 weeks then (the baby’s due March 1^st).  We saw the little baby’s form and heartbeat.  We also saw the baby raise his/her hand and could even make out the fingers.  At the time the baby was lying with his/her legs crossed.  Hee hee.  Very cute.  The doctor said everything looked good so far.  And now I’ve just entered my second trimester so I’m out of the most critical stage for miscarriages. And have I mentioned on here how I’ve done with the vitamin B complex?  It’s now been 2 weeks since getting the IV and since then I’ve probably only thrown up 5 days a week (instead of 7).  Most days I only throw up once and never more than twice (instead of a million).  The doctor even said I would be better off during the day throwing up first thing in the morning (if I need to) and getting rid of my gastric juices.  I’m not convinced of this advice as I never think it’s good to vomit but I no longer try to hold it back if I feel nauseous when I first wake up.   There are just still some days that any movement makes me feel really sick so lying in bed is better for me.  One day last week I felt that way but decided language class was too important to miss so I went anyway.  I had to keep leaving because I was afraid of vomiting right there in the classroom.  I spent a lot of time completely unfocused before finally leaving.  I only made it a few steps outside before having to hang my head over a rail.  So I realized then that I didn’t really get as much out of class being that sick and even had the unpleasant side effect of getting sick in public…again.  J  I’m just going to have to listen to my body a little bit better and hope that here soon I’ll make all the classes.
