I didn’t have much in the way of pregnancy symptoms in the first trimester and so consider myself lucky. I’m just coming up to 15 weeks though and a wee bit uncomfortable!
I’ve got insomnia, bloating and constipation to the point where I think there can’t be room for anything else in there (sorry if too much info). I’m exhausted. Already I have a big itchy bump and I am quite uncomfortable in seating positions. I thought it would be far too early to feel this. If this is like this in what’s meant to be the golden part of pregnancy....then the third trimester will be interesting.
At the same time I feel a bit detatched, like it can’t be real. Surely the image of the baby in the scan doesn’t belong to me?
Beginning to understand why pregnancy isn’t always this blissful time that is portrayed in films etc. And becoming an expert with the nice smile when people tell me to enjoy pregnancy.
I feel so incredibly lucky to be pregnant (there’s a lot of infertility in our families, which has been so sad), so feel like a selfish idiot for feeling like this.
On a more positive note, my hubby, who had been a douche in the first trimester has become this lovely caring man who is looking after me. I think the scan and the bump is making it more real for him.
I just needed that out of my system!!
