Once there was a lady whose body was broken
It grew tumors, had pains and things unspoken
Getting pregnant, she did that with ease
Perhaps because the pregnancy would be one big tease
Vomiting and sickness every day and every night
Rejecting those new parasites with greedy overzealous smite
The nausea was unrelenting and had her doubled over
How long can I live on crackers for breakfast, lunch and tea, I wonder
So the doctor said try these miracle pills
6-7-8 in the morning and a few at night for thrills
Try not to throw them up, they work with time
And even make her feel something close to fine
Couple that with in hospital pregnancy day stay
Where they pump her full of fluids to help her today
By 25 weeks this "morning sickness" was nearing the end
Her body said, it's not that easy my dear friend
Bring on the indigestion, the reflux, the heartburn
For how long can you sleep sitting up without a turn?
Don't eat that and eat less of this
You might just have less pain and more bliss
Unfortunately the comfort food, chocolate, is on the don't list
Plus cheese and fat and yummy things that get missed
Surprise, there's tablets and pills for this issue too
They work sometimes, others you struggle through
And just when she thought the vomiting was done
On her birthday her body thought it was time to vomit some
In her brunch plate at the cafe that needs no name
The staff were nice but the brunch was not the same
Some people have a lovely time being pregnant it's true
Just not for this lady whose body needs more than glue
To fix it and mend it and make it whole again
Hold on dear, two months left of this saga my friend.
It most definitely has been a hard road for this brave, determined lady. Please give her a hug from me
