About 3 weeks right? Yeah I know. Slacking again. But I have a good reason.
It is tough to post when you have Morning Sickness!
Yes darlings we have a bun in the oven. And I suspect it is a girl. She is making me super sick. I had to go to the hospital to get an IV because I was vomiting so much. Over the past two days I have been lucky. I have been able to avoid the vomit scenario as long as I keep food in my stomach.
Yes we are all happy and excited, but what I want to share with you guys is the hospital situation in Japan.
I am not by any means a “drug” person. For goodness sakes I had a natural home birth in NYC, but my morning sickness was so bad, I was looking for drugs! When I got to the hospital they looked at me like I was insane. They would not give me any drugs for morning sickness and told me that if I needed to come back daily for an IV then I was welcomed and that I would just have to wait for the morning sickness to go away.
Crazy right? I finally look for drugs and cannot get them. Well I am glad they denied me. I did some more reading on nausea drugs and did not like what I read.
What is also interesting is that when you are examined, there is a little curtain that separates you from your private parts! I could not look at the doctor as he was examining me! Crazy again right? I guess modesty is big in Japan, but I gotta tell you. I kept lifting up that curtain to be sure they were not making mean faces at my vagina.
It must be the only time when I went against the cutlure and did what felt normal to me.
But I was able to watch the ultrasound on the TV adjacent to my head and see my baby who is now the size of a lentil.
I will keep you guys posted, granted I feel well and I hope you are having a great summer.
Oh congrats. Ok the curtain during being examined is to funny. Hope the morning sickness goes other wise good ole crackers work everything.
I’m thinking girl too!
Congrats on the pregnancy 🙂 That curtain thing is a little too weird for me. I would have asked them to keep it open.
