@star1980 I haven't been what you've been through to conceive, but I'm 37 and also finding it really weird and discombobulating, so you're not alone. I think maybe it's an even bigger adjustment when you're older the first time. How do you work out what's a symptom and what's psychosomatic? I look exactly the same, essentially, as there'll be no sign of a bump for ages, but I've been hugely emotional and had terrible insomnia and just been all round exhausted. Yet, at times, I feel that all that could be something else - stress and bad PMT, say, and I should get a grip (as my unhelpful big sister put it) - and I wonder about doing another test to check I am indeed pregnant, but then I remember that I haven't had a period for seven weeks now, which is weird in itself after 24 years of them! It's all such new territory and nothing really prepared me.
Still, I'm feeling a bit more in control now, after weeks of hormonal rollercoasters, and, miracle of miracles, I SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT without waking up in the wee hours. Am pathetically grateful, as I deal really badly with lack of sleep (doesn't bode well), so I hope this isn't a one off.
Now, forgive me if this is TMI, but I haven't had a problem with constipation as such, but (sorry!) my poo is like tar... I'm wondering if this is because of the Floradix iron supplement I've been taking, as I tend to be borderline anaemia. Anyone had anything similar?
