Things seem to be going fine thus far. I have had some issues figuring out how often I need to eat to prevent getting sick, but it seems like every 1.5 to 2 hours does the trick. I'm trying to stay away from unhealthy foods, but it's difficult. Twice at school I have bought a bag of potato chips from the vending machine because I was getting shaky (and apparently needing salt). I also bought a bag of peanut M&M's because they looked sooooooo good. I ate 95% of them and ended up with a stomach ache.
Next hurdle will be successfully completing my clinicals next month. I have them every Thursday in February and they last from 630am to 7pm. I will need to tell each of my preceptors about my pregnancy and hope they don't treat me like I'm incapable. I will also need to take LOTS of snack breaks. I imagine I will be running around quite a bit and I don't want to get sick.
I also hope my unit partner won't figure out that I'm pregnant because I don't know her and I'm not interested in telling her anything personal about myself. I'm not ready for everyone to know about this because I am only 8 weeks along and not out of the woods yet.
