Whatever I'm doing, I find I can turn it off when I feel some kicking...it is pretty awesome actually.<BR/><BR/>And I have heard a lot about why the 'we use only 10% of our brain' is totally wrong, so I'd assume that the brain loss in pregnancy is also off somehow. But some overall loss of focus, that I definitely have at the moment!kimanandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02631078429676761765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14074807.post-83377771045050873492008-02-17T16:10:00.000+01:002008-02-17T16:10:00.000+01:00hey my dear, no worries for you! i think your life...hey my dear, no worries for you! i think your life seems just splendid, gosh the joy of having a life inside you!

I'm hoping it stays that way, in which case, I'll just learn to live with it. But I suspect that in a month or two, I'll be looking for drugs, and I'll remember the Zantac.<BR/><BR/>And tillykke!!!kimanandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02631078429676761765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14074807.post-9801028872569658622008-02-15T10:09:00.000+01:002008-02-15T10:09:00.000+01:00As another yeehaw yankee expat about to deliver in...As another yeehaw yankee expat about to deliver in Denmark (March 29th -- egads!), I must share with you the joys of Zantac and natron. Heartburn has been my #1 bane of pregnancy (my first), preventing me from sleeping, eating, living a normal (HA) existence. Anyway, my doc prescribed Zantac, and now I covet this stuff like a junkie. Drink the magic bubbly elixir twice a day and -- HAPPY! Occasionally it falters (usually when I've had too much pizza or a handful of jalapenos too many), in which case I stir 1/2 a teaspoon of regular ol' baking soda into a small of glass of water, and down the hatch. IT. WORKS. But, its also has a lot of sodium, so this is more of an emergency thing. And re: the brain -- yes, you DO get more forgetful, and will become even moreso, I'm afraid. But, you will probably move about in a joyful, magical, crystal-filled universe by then, so your worries of brain-function reduction will seem far, far away...EKinDKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12190582750346127713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14074807.post-65618137771662667072008-02-14T21:01:00.000+01:002008-02-14T21:01:00.000+01:00Hmmm...let's hope that doesn't happen to me!

Most (not all) people who have morning sickness only have it for the first trimester, that is true, and that's usually what causes people to throw up. I never had morning sickness, but seem to have occasional heartburn bad enough that I end up throwing up. And yeah, I think things are o.k., and my worries are just the normal things. And I am pretty pleased with the clothing collection.<BR/><BR/>Roro, I'm working hard to embrace everything about this, because well, it's the best way to view it, I think. A bit of puking seems to come with the territory...I think the first time I puked was in January, so if I only have to deal with it once a month, I think it'll all be fine.<BR/><BR/>Scholiast, it's the heartburn. And I have heard of people who get bedrest for a singleton, but I'm not seriously thinking that it'll happen to me...I don't think I'm particulary high risk. But of course, who knows? And thanks for the kind words on sleep...that is something that I do worry about more seriously!kimanandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02631078429676761765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14074807.post-37054625364563072252008-02-14T14:01:00.000+01:002008-02-14T14:01:00.000+01:00Shouldn't be throwing up any more, though the hear...Shouldn't be throwing up any more, though the heartburn might cause that. Also, normally, bedrest is not for people "only" expecting a singleton ;) <BR/><BR/>-- you seem to be having all the normal worries, which makes me think everything's fine! <BR/><BR/>About the sleep bit - it varies. But if you do like we have, sleep in one day each every weekend, then at least as soon as your daughter's weaned, you should be able to sleep through the night. Our Jakob did that at 11 months ;) Oh, but you'll sleep, later, only not so much at a time ...<BR/><BR/>The brain? I don't know... They told me to take codliver oil to avoid that ;) I didn't, though. But I feel ok - and the kids have turned out rather on the bright side, so I <I>think</I> it may be just another myth...Scholiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10219626585108690444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14074807.post-29527406487468427492008-02-14T05:37:00.000+01:002008-02-14T05:37:00.000+01:008% of your brain??

Maybe this will cause you to start using other, unexplored parts of your brain, causing many fantastical adventures! I say embrace it.<BR/><BR/>So sorry about the puking.

I thought you weren't supposed to throw up at this stage anymore...Myths!<BR/><BR/>Apart from that your worries were really funny (not to diminish them in any way) and normal and probably not very worry-worthy (a new word I just invented).<BR/><BR/>I love the photo!!
