Please tell me this gets easier.....

I've actually come on for a bit of a moan, i hope you ladies dont mind?!?!

Firstly I wanna say that it is absolutely awesome that i am expecting and that i am so grateful. I know that it is a massively awesome gift to be given this chance.
My sister has fertility problems and the doctors dont know yet if she will be able to conceive naturally or even have children at all, so i know how precious it is that I have been given this chance, and feel really bad that I am going to have this moan as so many women would give anything and everything to be where i am today, its just that I am finding everything really hard at the moment.
I'm SO tired all the time, i could fall asleep at my desk during the day. As soon as i get home i fall asleep on the sofa. I just have no energy at all.
The sickness is really getting to me, I'm nauseas from the moment i wake up until the moment i go to bed at night. I have a phobia of sick, luckily i have only been sick once so far, but the feeling nauseas all the time is horrible.
Finally my boobs are in agony.....Im in tears many times, if i bump the during the day im in tears, even the pressure of the water in the shower on them im in tears!
Oh and not to mention emotional!! Bladdy hormones!!

So sorry for such a long moan, Im just finding it tough at the moment and think I just need some reassurance that it does get better and i can get through it. I think it is more difficult at the moment as im doing this on my own, myself and oh are trying not to tell anyone we're expecting until 12 weeks, and as this is my first, I really dont know what to expect. Any advise or anything would be great!

Thank you all in advance.

Love and Hugs

It does!

Hey Tara,

It so does get easier, first it's something you get more used to. You get your head around the feeling tired and although it doesn't shift for some time it doesn't feel so hard for me the worse part was the sicknes, i ended up going off meat until just last week i couldn't even stand the smell but even that has passed now.
The best part is when bubs starts moving and you know it's all been for a good reason!

Good Luck Chick x x

It does get better

honest.
i felt sick all day and night for 2 weeks when i found out then it went to throwing up in morn then feeling sick now it just throwing up in morn and im fine all day.
which is a lot better than the feeling sick.
plus biled sweets r amazing!
the best thing u can eat for morning sickness is carbs, think toast and sandwidges and pizzas and dpnt eat meals.just snack. it releases the energy and glucouse slowly but surely which is what the baby is taking from you.
if it to the point where u cant keep anything down u need to go to docs.
but if u find u havnt ate for 2 days dont panic. the bodys survival instinct kiks in and ull get an apetite back (the bodys maxing u know lol)
hope u feel better soon. and dont worry. we tried for 2 moths b4 i got pg and we talked about how amazing it was going to be and now all i do is moan lol.
hugs

Exactly the same

Hey Tara,

Yeah I am so glad to be pregnant again and glad I have symptoms but the Sickness is really bad, last 4 days in a row 24/7 I have either felt sick or been sick..... can hardly eat and wake up every hour as I can't sleep when I feel sick....Do you take anything that helps? Feeling tired constantly, and headaches Too...

My sisters tell me they were never this bad but It does ease down after 12 weeks....another 6 weeks of this.....WE CAN DO IT!!

Sorry think I just joined youre Rant.....

Hi sj

I feel exactly the same as you - so grateful to be given this opportunity but amazed that it isn't the magical experience I thought it would be. All fuzzy focus and Disney birds singing around me!! hee hee.

I'm nauseous all the time, tired and bloated - I could pop my head on the desk now for a nap! One of the worst parts is the sensitive smell - things that used to smell good like baking potatoes make me want to barf everywhere! The smelly people on the bus too - they should shower before they come on public transport! My taste buds are hammered - it all tastes bland.

I'm wondering how I'll get through the next four weeks but know I'll be so blessed and grateful if this baby makes it.

I'm holding out for the 12-13 weeks mark, resting and laughing at this siutation as much as possible. I cannot wait to tell people, all this secrecy does my head in. We went to a friends house for a meal on Saturday, they had pate to start and then chorizo sausage pasta for main and kept trying to ply me with booze - that was a test. My hubby ate my pate whilst they weren't looking and he hates the stuff. Good to know he's making sacrafices too though! We're out with the parents tonight for a birthday meal - I'm going to say I'm on antibiotics which is why I'm not drinking, this is my best excuse to be used on each person once only! ha ha.

What i'm saying is - I get it. We'll all make it, we will be fine and we'll get a gorgeous little one at the end of it.

PS. Anyone crying at the most stupid things? I listened to a song on the radio yesterday and cried the whole way through - what the hell?!!!

It does!

Hi Tara

It does get better hun, for your nausea try getting some sea bands, they are like little sweat bands with a plastic nobbles that sit on your wrist, i found they worked so well, you can get them from boots or over the net. And for the boobs, i wore my underwired bra for quite a while and was in agony, as soon as i bought some proper maternity bras (without wire) i found the soreness and pain eased off.

You'll pick up soon

Take care
