Hi all
Sorry to barge in, I've only just registered but have been lurking for weeks. I'm also sorry to start off with such a whingey post but there doesn't seem to be anyone I know in RL who understands.
The upshot is, I'm 35 and 9+5 with my first child. It all happened very quickly and we're delighted and really excited. I would be devastated if anything happened and I'm really looking forward to it all.
But, I am finding it all so hard to cope with. I know my symptoms are perfectly normal and that I have no real cause to complain but I'm not sure how much longer I can cope with it all. I've been horribly sick for about 3 weeks and, luckily that's beginning to ease. But now I'm left with the most awful gasiness which nothing seems to ease. That makes me feel worse than the sickness and, as I work in a very quiet office it's really hard to deal with.
Added to that, I'm so tired I spend most of the day in tears because of it. As soon as I get home I go to bed and it's been like that for weeks. I've had to cancel trips abroad, concerts, everything because of all this and I don't know how much more I can take. I just want my life back.
My boss has been fantastic and I've had loads of time off with her blessing but for the next fortnight I have to be in the office and I don't know if I can do it. Added to the 90 minute drive each way and early start it's just too much.
I'm sorry, I know I should just put up with it and stop moaning but I wondered if anyone else hated being pregnant as much as I do.
Thanks for listening anyway.
Sarah
