Mucus Factory

That's how I feel right now. Gross I know. If you'd really rather not know anymore, then don't read on.


Seriously don't.

So not only have my lady bits turned into Niagra falls.


Oh yes.

But now I am suffering with serious nasal congestion. Can't breave. I have been through countless boxes of tissues. The mucus is going down the back of my throat. Nice. Giving me a really nasty cough and this morning inducing my first vomiting session for a few weeks now. And just when I was starting to feel on top of the world!

I've read that this is all normal in pregnancy and that there's not much you can do about it. However according to Dr. Gowri Motha (my new guru on pregnancy and birth along with Ina May) I can help it get better by cutting out mucus producing foods. These include wheat (already done since September), bananas (i love em) and dairy (oops, shouldn't have eaten that piece of cheese before I went to bed last night). So out goes my morning yoghurt, my afternoon yoghurt and yes my evening yoghurt. And then hopefully I will be able to B-R-E-A-T-H-E through my nose. And there will be no more vomiting. As let me tell you, vomiting while unable to breathe through your nose is a pretty terrifying experience. Ugh.
