Week 9

We are filming a video for the track "Iskala" in Mathers Bar, Edinburgh.
We film in the morning which is good news for me as I feel better in the mornings. In between cuts, I sneak into toilet and throw up. Nobody notices that I might be feeling shit apart from Husband. If you look at the "behind the scene" photos, I don't look that bad....thats the power of make up!
When we finish filming we head to Pret a Mange for lunch, I get myself a miso soup. Big mistake. On the way home, I feel awful....spend the rest of the day in bed, head is exploding, sickness level is increasingly high. This is the worst day of my early pregnancy so far, it brings me down and I start to question myself: can I do it? I feel like giving up ...Husband does his best to help me go through it all.
Next day midwife comes for a home visit, checks my notes and tells me to ask her anything that troubles me. I immediately ask her if there is anything that will ease my miserable state? She recommends sea bands. We jump in the car and head straight to Boots!
I can't believe how quickly sea bands start to work, its a miracle. They don't take nauseaness away but they ease the severity of it. Im back to normal self and for the fist time in weeks I manage to cook a meal!!!
Sea bands help me to control eating, before I was binge eating junk food: MacDonalds, KFC, chinese takeaways, you name it! and it made me feel worse: i was bloated, burping and "polluting air with poisonous emissions".
With sea bands I am back to eating normal food like fresh veg, salads, fruit and home cooked meals.
Sea bands rule!!!
