ATTENTION INTERNET!
It IS possible for a female to feel sick in the morning and NOT be pregnant.
(I’ll wait while you process that mind-boggling information)
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, a woman can have morning sickness and not have a bun in the oven. You know what? She can also be exhausted AND have morning sickness and still not be pregnant. I KNOW!! Call Guinness! Alert the press!
I have had morning sickness for going on 8 years now. Yes, Internet, 8 years. It’s not everyday. But 3-4 times a week I wake up and my body feels the need to pray to the porcelain god. Some days it’s just slight nausea, which I can deal with. Other days I get the backwards version of whatever I ate the night before. It’s charming. Really. And yet every time I tell someone I was sick that morning, I get the "Oh, are you pregnant?" complete with raised eyebrows and knowing look. Um, no. Wasn’t pregnant yesterday when you asked. Wasn’t pregnant 3 months ago when you asked. Wasn’t pregnant TWO YEARS ago when you asked. Trust me, when I finally get pregnant, I’ll be shouting it from the rooftops. Until that time, let’s just all assume I’M NOT FUCKING PREGNANT!
Thank you and have a nice day!
