Full of the joys of.... yeah not really

[Animum]

Hi folks, just after some chat and support really. Sorry not up on the lingo.
7 weeks pregnant and planned with BF just happened a little quicker than we thought it might. I've not told anyone yet as I've lost one at 3+months before so just want more reassurance. Had scan at 6 weeks all is well and back again next week.
But here's the thing - I feel abnormal! My friend is on her last round of IVF and can't wait to be pregnant, I hear people talk constantly about the miracle of life and how enriching pregnancy is but I just feel sick, bloated, fat, greasy haired, windy and .... wait I have to pee.... Well a bit disgusting and miserable really.
I've got massive knockers that hurt constantly, I'm rifting like a dog eating bin food and I have a sense of smell that Superman would envy. I kid you not- I could smell tea from half a mile away. Do other people feel this way, will I stay like this?!
I seem to be in a permanent state of concern and worry. I didn't realise how much of a control freak I was or how fearful I am of everything.

Oh it does get better. I'm 34 weeks now and nothing was as bad as that awful first trimester. I do still hate being pregnant though! But it's not as bad as the first few weeks - in was ravenous and nauseous all the time and my boobs hurt SO much! Now I feel absolutely fine, just a bit heavy and a little uncomfortable. :)

This made me laugh! I also have 'massive knockers' and that was the only reason I did a test in the beginning!
The good news is that mine stopped about a week ago ( I am now 13 weeks) and although it seems ages off it will go quickly! You literally described everything if of what I felt from week 2 until week 11/12. I just snacked my way through the sickness and made ( still !) the bf do all the minging jobs, to be fair I don't think he could stand the noise of me wrenching in the end so he just did stuff anyway haha

I’m 8 weeks with my second and am miserable!

I didn’t especially enjoy it the first time around, but it was a walk in the park in comparison so far. There was a slightly rough patch at the beginning and then I struggled with hip pain at the end, but it was not too bad.

This time, I’m exhausted, having long bouts of horrible nausea and stomach ache, headaches, dizziness...argh! Bit of a shock to the system.

Also, you might do well to get some non under wired bras, I bought a load in the M&S sale and they look quite nice. I never thought mine would stay up without the wire but turns out bras have changed a lot over the years! Also buy some crop top ( tight ish) fitted ones for bed, they have been a life saver x

The first trimester is bloody awful. I’m on my third pregnancy and I forget every time how awful it is. Except this time the sickness, food aversions and super sense of smell lasted until 20 weeks. 21 weeks now and just starting to feel vaguely human again!

Hi ladies thanks for the tips and nice to know that (unfortunately) I'm not the only one.
I had just assumed that i would be like a slightly nauseous Bambi, all skipping round and delighted about my wee secret.... reality check huh'! I feel bad that I'm lying to people, keep having make excuses about not going to weights class and not going to any gym class really! Been advised to stick to walking until the cramp eases off. For some reason everybody keeps asking me or bringing the conversation to babies (especially my sister who delights in reminding me how horrific her two births were- and they really were!)
I'm allergic to morphine, the midwive had a bit of a chuckle then I told her so I'm going to look into hypnosis, has anyone heard if it works? I had it done for flying and managed to sit a 10 hour flight to Texas so figure it's worth a try.
Loving the knocker containment advice, am actually beginning to fear I may accidentally roll onto my nipples and die a million deaths. X
