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.

@Iswallowtoothpaste - an egg sandwich is something I can manage too. So sorry you ended up losing it after all.

The emotions are getting flipping ridiculous here. I just cried because I love my dining table. My mum bought it for us as a very kind gift and I was just sort it looking at it, thinking how lovely it is, the perfect size and how well the colour goes in the room and I felt so grateful that mum had bought it and started crying. Call the men in white coats, I need locking up.

I only want reasonably boring carbs too. I have a stock of porridge pots, bachelor's pasta pots and naked noodle in my locker at work because trying to figure out anything remotely healthy I can stomach putting together in the morning and still might want to eat at lunch time is too over whelming 😂😭.
I've spent the last 18 months eating well and losing weight (party in preparation for this) and feel it slipping away oh so quickly, far before I can say it's the baby that weighs lol.

I have my first doctors appt today, followed an hour and half later by a funeral. I am not ready for the emotions that are on their way!!

Good luck auntmarch.

2 day headache here. Spent last night crying. I feel so miserable. I don’t know what to do with myself

Can I join? Mines maybe for a different reason, I've read a few of the posts below. I am currently 5 weeks +3 days however I miscarried in August. I'm absolutely shitting myself. So it sucks for me right now to try be positive! Also I've got big boobies anyways and this sore tender boob crap is so not good! X

Delilah7 you can certainly join, stressing about what could happen after what has already happened to you is certainly a reason to find early pregnancy sucks. I am sorry you went through that

So bloody want a Maccy's breakfast it is unreal! Threw up this morning as I didnt get food in me quite quick enough, cue me then finding it hard to actually eat without being sick. Also knocked my boob whilst getting dressed and nearly screamed! Swear work must know, they all say "decaf coffee yeah now?" when asking if I want a drink! Also got caught chucking up... ugh

@TwittleBee thanks Hun. Just struggling! I know the boob pain for sure!!! X

@TwittleBee I may have had more than one McD's breakfast in the last few weeks...

@jacquejacque oh my gosh thank you!!!!! Putting an order in right now!!!

I can't stop eating crap. I know it's not good but I am hungry all the time and can only stomach pasta and chocolate most of that time!

I'm starting to panic. I read that these apps go off 28 day regular cycle which I was before mc. However the 2 cycles before getting pregnant again I was 33 days. I'm scared I'm actually only going to be 5 weeks and a few days pregnant at my scan when I thought I'd be 6 weeks and a few days 😭 xxxxx

That's what I'm wondering with mine too Delilah7 I can have cycles as short as 26 days or as long as 36 days so not sure if it's gonna be 5+5 when I actually go for my early scan or earlier/later

@TwittleBee I feel like should I postpone or go anyways and see what they can do??? Xxx

I would go along and see what you say and then you also get to have a better idea of how far along you are too Delilah7

@Delilah I went for an early scan - thought I was 8 weeks, they told me I was 6, then at my 12 week they told me I was 13 - so i'd take all dating ones with a pinch of salt until 12 week, was comforting for me to just see little heartbeat x

@Tadda @TwittleBee thank you guys xxx

Btw, someone shared this article on another thread earlier and ir made me think of you @Delilah7

How are you all?? So I'm 6 weeks tomorrow! I never got this far before so I'm happy and still abit anxious. Boobs are insanely sore and on my sternum! Back is occasionally twinging too. The occasional cramps but not many. Nausea in mornings and major bloating when I eat. 😂

5 weeks and lost 6lbs as I've been so Ill. Up says it's a big and I've had to totally change the way I eat, otherwise I would eat nothing. Really loose the other way (sorry tmi) plus I have fibromyalgia and I have to cut my 10 tablets to 3. Oh and let's not forget we didn't plan this as DP was told chemo had made him infertile. Feeling your pain (feel better now)

Not in early pregnancy, but thought I'd post anyway!

Currently in my third trimester, 32+5wks pregnant and suffering from SPD and sciatica so a days housework for me is getting spread out over numerous days.

Finding it difficult to go out, went to Tesco earlier to do a bit of shopping and pretty much limped around the whole store in pain! Luckily I'm not one of those people who take notice of people looking, if they do, not oless it's blatantly obvious anyway!

On top of that I'm also a mum to 4boys already, all of young age, with special needs. People think I'm mad but having a big family to me is great! My life my choice, end of.

Yes there may be pain, but no pain no gain.

Sending energy crystals to all xxx

@Pinkerbells gosh you're going through it! Thinking of you Hun. You rest!! Xx

@ruthieruthuk one word - inspiration! Keep going hun. I have a special needs nephew and it is hard work so I understand xxx

All my symptoms have gone today! I'm freaking the F out now!

@Twittlebee they come and go! Mine kept disappearing between 6-9 weeks, then came back at 10 weeks with a vengeance (when my app told me that they’d start to fade )
They’ve been fairly strong since but today I woke up and my boobs felt completely normal and I freaked a bit but they’re hurting again now and I’ve felt rough all day! I’m 11+2 now. Anything goes with pregnancy!

Thank you Iswallowtoothpaste I need to keep reminding myself every pregnancy is different. I've had it piss easy so far compared when I was carrying DS. So screw nothing will show on my early scan tomorrow at all.

After almost a week of feeling less nauseous it's back today at 12 weeks. Why? Why?

Got my scan on Monday and I'm so nervous but trying to remind myself that if I feel sick (tick) have random stretching pains (tick) and haven't had serious cramping or bleeding (phew) then it's most likely fine. Hard to keep the zen like calm though.

So exhausted and I think some of it is just being tired of worrying constantly!!
Roll on second trimester.
