10 Weird Things With My Pregnancy
I seriously fantasize about ending this 1st trimester. It’s just driving me up the wall! Here are some of the things I’m going through…
1) I have no desire for food. I eat because I realize that I need some food to live. But nothing…nothing at all seems appetizing to me. This is very distressing to my BF!
2) I can drink water like it’s going out of style. And anything else for that matter. Makes me feel better about not eating…and gives me hope that I’m not going to die!
3) Everything smells bad. I’m not nauseous or gagging. But it’s very uncomfortable to smell strong smells…especially meat cooking. I needed to wash dishes while my BF was cooking. He gave me one of those respirators that painters use to keep fumes out. Don’t laugh….it worked!
4) I always have a bad taste in my mouth. Again, not nauseous. Just always swallowing in a futile effort to remove this aftertaste (and ironically, mouthwash & toothpaste make it worse!)
5) I’m past being utterly exhausted; but I have no energy either. 2 weeks ago, I was sleeping spontaneously…everywhere. Now I’m past that, but I still don’t have any get up and go. Oh, and I’m sleep by 10pm at the latest…every night.
6) I’ve lost two pounds since before I conceived. Yeah..figure that one out!
7) I feel the need to climb out of my skin. I get either too hot, or a vague sick to my stomach feeling, or just tingling skin. I’m itching to find another body to occupy…one that isn’t being wrecked by hormones.
8) 2 weeks ago my entire chest area was a danger zone for pain. Now…they are almost normal (weird).
9) My two episodes of mystery bleeding have left me hopelessly paranoid. I feel as if I’m vulnerable to my insides just exploding any minute now!
10) I have no real clue or desire as to whether I would prefer this little olive to be a boy or a girl. When I was younger…I always had a preference for girls. Now I really don’t care….just come out & be healthy already!
{sigh} Counting down the days…
