I think I’ve found the cure to feeling good for like 4 consecutive days now… I’m 13 weeks pregnant and I have energy. I feel great! This is really good considering I’ve read that a lot of people who are 13 weeks pregnant are always sleepy. No me.
What is the cure, you ask?
Having a small cup of coffee in the morning. No joke! (Not trying to cure being sleepy here, I’m trying to cure the nausea and morning sickness.) :)
I’ve always enjoyed having coffee in the morning (before getting pregnant). Even though my doctor said that coffee in the morning was still okay, I tried not to have it. I really didn’t miss it either. I had it maybe two times a week and that was enough.
Well, you know about the migraines that I’ve been having. Perhaps it’s just a coincidence, but I was getting a migraine and feeling craptastic on the days when I didn’t have coffee. I noticed that one day last week when I felt awesome was when I had a cup of coffee.
Naturally I put two and two together and came up with my “cure”. Currently I’m testing out my theory and it hasn’t proved me wrong just yet. For the past 3 days, I’ve had my morning coffee and I haven’t had a headache throughout the day. I’ve actually felt really good.
It finally feels good to be 13 weeks pregnant! I just hope it continues as each week passes and I keep on getting more energy. Being pregnant is finally good… now if I could just get that “pregnancy glow” that I’ve heard about… then I would be a very happy pregnant woman!

@Helen: One of my favorite medicines for migraines in the past was Excedrin migraine. It really worked wonders and I did know that caffeine was in that medicine - That's what gave me the idea. Since I can't take Excedrin and Tylenol doesn't always do the job, I thought I'd try anything with caffeine in it. Having coffee in the morning seems to be working, so I'm going to continue to stick with it!
@Peta: I'm so sorry to hear that you have a bad headache. I definitely hope it gets better soon and that you can resume with your daily activities. Sleeping it off it a good thing to do too, so maybe you should do that. I hope you feel better soon!!
