Would anyone like to rant with me about how much early pregnancy sucks?

[Stormwhale]

I am so grateful to be pregnant, I really am. I can't wait to meet this baby and it is 100% loved... but my god I hate early pregnancy.

I am 9+5, have been nauseous and fainty since bfp, I have had thrush twice, now possibly have a uti. I have put on far too much weight already due to existing on carbs. I'm tired, spotty, greasy, hormonal and generally feel fucking shit. I am nervous all the time whether the baby is ok, and time is moving so so slowly. I am also worrying about my dd (5) and how much the pregnancy is impacting on her already and trying constantly to keep normality for her. I'm just exhausted and being a shit wife to dh to boot. I look fat not pregnant and really don't like what I see at the minute.

I just want to skip to the bit in the middle when I feel more human and start to feel baby move. I loved that bit with dd.

If you are having a rough 1st trimester, feel free to let it all out. I will not judge.

@isitcoffetimeyet I'm really enjoying the death farts because they're the only way to inflict some of the early pregnancy horror on my partner. Smell it and weep, you bastard inseminator you!!

Hahaha @IsItCoffeeTimeYet pregnamcy death farts!! Yes I can't stop faring and burping. Farts make me want to puke and burps taste like puke! Apart from being fat with pointy sweaty boobs and farts that can rival my dogs I feel so attractive right now 😣😣😣

All I eat it toast. Everything else make me feel worse. Brown toast and butter. Healthy right

I can't stand toast atm, that's one of my biggest things that sets my sickness off. DH and DS are banned from toast in mornings now

I’m pretty sure I could power a small country with the amount of gas I produce!

I’m also going to buy shares in gaviscon, the indigestion is unbelievable.

@IsItCoffeeTimeYet Death Farts! :) I also have given up caring when/where or the potential doom they might inflict to others! I even had to leave the room the other day....

Currently enjoying the shock value this is having on my DH :) - (I even raised a leg the other day...too much!?)

Stormwhale I'm definitely not on the cleaning stage yet, the house is looking awful because I'm spending most of my none work time sleeping. I fell asleep eating dinner last night which Ds though was hilarious.
Your mention of cleaning made me chuckle though as it reminded me of my sudden urge to paint the radiators when my waters broke with Ds.

@Changingagain - the cleaning thing has creeped up on me slowly this time - but now at 32 weeks and yesterday I started on the bedroom bathroom and feel like the beast has been unleased -

Before I knew it I was putting up decals in DD1's room (that I've been planning to do since March!), the kitchen cupboards took a battering and now paperwork is getting filed....and I'm supposed to be on 'Rest' so having to stop myself, but have such an urge to 'clothes sort out'!!

Am having another girl so want to go through all DD1's clothes (most she never wore!) and separate size order, what needs to go, etc.....

@tadda - raising a leg to death fart is definitely not too much. Climbing on top of partner to fart in his face might be too much. Oops

@Noodella18 - 'In his general direction' whilst at the other end of the sofa kind of did the same job the other day :) ...but he said this was kind of disguised by the smell my feet seem to have developed....apparently now some sort of 'vinegar' odour….

I don't think I so much as burped in front of him for the first three and a half years we were together....I can gradually see this 'what happened to you' look in his eyes....which kind of eggs me on a little...'You did this to me!' payback :)

@tadda hahaha YES! Retribution!! I quite enjoy farting silently while we're snuggled up under a blanket on the sofa. 10 or 15 seconds will go by and then he'll suddenly go UGH!! YOU STINKY BITCH!! As it seeps out. Cracks me up every time, the anticipation of his response is the best bit!!

Vinegar feet sounds odd! Is that a pregnancy thing?!

I am loving the farting chat. i think farting is HALARIOUS. always have!

i dont understand when people are so horrified by farts. in my old work if you even mentioned a fart then you were frowned apon! haha

I sat on the loo last night after having trapped wind in my actual fucking hip (!?!?!?) and did a silent (ish) but violent which lasted for around 20 seconds. OH was disgusted —jealous—

Mmm strikethrough doesn’t work on my phone 😢

Omg. Thank god for all of you.

I feel like utter crap! It makes me feel so guilty like I'm not happy or excited to be pregnant which of course I am! My other half is super supportive but every now and again, he gets a bit frustrated at how ill I am all the time. I've only been sick a couple of times but I've had constant nausea and I've struggled to eat because of it! The tiredness is unbearable too (but I do also have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome).

Anyway - good to know it's not just me!

The cleaning has stepped up a level. Today I am removing the sealant around the bath and replacing it. There are a couple of mould spots and they must go.

Surprisingly I have not got the farts so far as my diet is terrible at the moment.

@Jhmanny - you are not alone. Not by a long shot. Pregnancy is not glamourous, it's not enjoyable for the most part and can bring you to your knees. This does not in any way reflect how you feel about your baby. Not at all.

Thought that the morning sickness had fucked off as had about 36hrs of nausea-free bliss. Nope, back again with a vengeance.

TIME TO UNLEASH THE BOMBAY BAD BOY

YESSSS!!! all hail the bombay bad boy!!!!!!

I love this post! The bit that frustrates me the most is when people say that at (11weeks) I can't be showing so i'm thinking well your basically saying I've just packed on weight around my stomach then?! haha.

Luckily for me the sickness has stopped for now. None of my clothes fit me atm and DPs dad is unwell so he is there looking after him leaving me to run the house and deal with the two -annoying- loveable Labradors we have together. Normally this would be fine and obviously haven't moaned to him but I am sooooo exhausted. I just keep thinking well along with our full time jobs he's obviously just a tired as me so shut up and put up! This week is the pleasure of my stomach muscles pulling and stretching. and my 12 week dating scan is not until gone 13 weeks (I don't do well with patience when I am excited for something!)

Happy ranting mums!

@Noodella18 I live in New Zealand and you CAN'T GET POT NOODLES HERE! lots of crappy imitations but not real deal. I have not had one in years and would have previously thought they were disgusting but now all I want is a legit chow mein flavour! Feel disproportionately angry at the fact I cant get one😣😣😣

I've eaten too much bread today. Feel all bunged up inside and badly need to fart or do a massive burp (x100). I always feel worse at night, I guess it's the tiredness too.

@vaselinehero I discovered (to the detriment of the people either side in the circuits class) that burpee exercises are really really good for shaking down the farts. They should be called fartees.

@minihappybaker I'm so sorry about your lack of pot noodles. At least they have... umm... actually I know nothing about kiwi cuisine!

I went round to my friend’s house this afternoon, she made me a lovely egg sandwich which I very surprisingly felt like eating for once!

Gobbled it down, felt fine after eating it. Went to pick DD up from school, fine.

Got home, saw the rotting pumpkin on the doorstep and started heaving. Didn’t want to be sick in the kitchen sink but had no choice as no bin bag in the bin and no downstairs loo 😣 refused to cook anything for tea so OH sulked. Seriously!!??

@Minihappybaker here! This is how I send my sister all manner of treats now she's abroad.
