Hormones, Nausea and Cravings

The first time I experienced food cravings was actually before I knew I was pregnant. One day I was leaving school on my commute back home and I had this sudden craving for a McDonald's Big Mac. Never in my life had I tasted a Big Mac, but my Mom (Hot Mama) is a fan of them. So, I find the closest McDonald's,order a Big Mac at the drive-thru and take it home. I ate that Big Mac like I hadn't eaten in days! I loved it and I couldn't believe I had waited so long to try one! After that,I went to McDonald's and got a Big Mac about 5 times within the next 2 weeks!

Throughout my first trimester, I had Morning Sickness,but never any vomiting, only really bad nausea. I did look forward to the end of my first trimester in hopes that the nausea would end. About 2 weeks into my second trimester, the nausea was gone and I was so very thankful!

The first time I realized I was having crazy hormones was on a Sunday. NinjaMan and I had decided to go out to eat,but we couldn't agree on where to eat. We had just left the house and NinjaMan was playing his music a little too loud, so I asked him to turn it down. NinjaMan, being the aggravating person he is sometimes, refused saying "Metallica shouldn't be turned down, especially not this awesome song". I was a bit annoyed at that point not mad. He then decided to aggravate me by thumping my leg repeatedly. I,again, calmly asked him to stop, but of course he continued because he thinks its cute when I'm mad. What NinjaMan doesn't understand is that when he thumps, he thumps too hard and it actually hurts instead of stings,but he doesn't think or realize he thumps so hard. So, i warned him that he was making me mad and he needed to stop, but NinjaMan, thinking I was being cute I guess, decided to continue. It was at that point that I was so mad and ill that I contemplated ripping his arm off and I yelled at him,calling him ugly names. We rode in silence the rest of the way to whatever restaurant he wanted to go to; I was too mad to tell him where I wanted to go. I eventually calmed down and NinjaMan apologized for pushing me too far, so we did get to enjoy the meal. But, fair warning to guys everywhere: Do NOT push a pregnant woman too far, she will retaliate!
