Hey Hibiscus - have you ever tried making fresh ginger tea? You can get a pot and boil some water, and as it's heating up, put in a couple small slices of fresh ginger, a stick of cinnamon, you can dip a peppermint or green tea back if you like (optional!), and then put a bit of suger for taste. One that's had a chance to boil and you can smell the ginger flavours, it's ready! Don't eat the ginger though unless you like it cause it's really strong! You just need 2 thin slices for eg. 2 cups of tea. The fresh ginger will last for ages in your fridge if you wrap it up.
I did read that people with twins usually feel symptoms far worse, and your beta was pretty high too, so you just might have twins!! lol. I think I'd be really happy if I had them - scary that there's a lot more complications, but in a way, it would take the pressure off a bit if ttc #2 turns out to be difficult again!... here I am totally getting ahead of myself!
I think my mom started getting sick around 6 weeks, and she was sick all the way until she was 5 weeks! But by her 3rd pregnancy, the sickness was much less. Also, she's 100% chinese, and I'm a complete mix with my dad's Polish/American genes too, so I wonder if that makes any difference...! What was your mom like when she was pregnant with you?
