Hi all.
Thanks for all the support and nice comments on the other thread. I need to speak to the MW about how I'm not coping with stress. It's ridiculous. Just because of my cousin & Facebook on Friday I've spent the entire weekend under the duvet trying desperately to get my blood pressure down because I can just constantly feel it POUNDING in my whole body from my toes to the top of my head, my chest & neck, I feel dizzy, hot & sweaty, and the pulse feels really gritty, not smooth like normal, it's really frightening. And it happens over the silliest smallest things and lasts days. It's happening every day now & then anyway, but the stress thing is really out of proportion. Is anyone else getting anythung like this? The only thing I've had before which was similar is when I had the spinal block with DD it made me pulse for a few seconds till it took effect then for a few months after I'd get a mild pulsing now & then but it didn't feel scary or wrong, this does.
I've noticed I'm having to wear my glasses a lot more but according to Google that could be as normal as just temporary increased pressure in my head (which would make sense with my constant stuffy nose!) or as bad as pre-eclampsia, which I had with DD. I get violet flashy lights in front of my eyes too but I've had that constantly since DD. All things to mention when I see the mw next week.
My skin is disgusting. I look like a pizza from my waist up, it's so embarrassing. I hope it clears up before the weather brightens up! I'm not looking forward to wearing a polo neck and full make up all summer!!
For all my moaning though I am happy and grateful to be pregnant, it's just physically and emotionally a lot harder than last time round. I felt fantastic last time, I feel like shit this time, just not right at all. I hope it passes soon, I'm at 10+1 now, only 30 more to go!
