However, I have learned a very important lesson this week, that I feel compelled to pass on to all of you (or to myself for future pregnancies).
When the nausea of pregnancy starts to set in, and at times completely take over, some shows are just meant to not be watched.
One such show would be Andrew Zimmerman's "Weird Eats International."
Particularly the episode where he visits a small tribe in Africa and decides to eat the placenta of a birth that had taken place the week prior. And then he drank the cord blood of another birth. And then drank blood from a goat, a cow, and some other animal I couldn't hear over all my gagging!
And really, at that point you'd think the channel would have been changed. But I was mesmerized.
Yup, that was me, sitting on my couch, gagging relentlessly, not being able to peel my eyes off of the man downing jugs of blood as it trickled down his chin and all over his white button down shirt, right in front of me!
So note to self in the future: perhaps shows about eating weird food and non-food items should be avoided for about, oh at least several more months until gagging with normal foods goes away!
