Hi all,
How is it Monday already?
So, after getting our BFP last Tuesday, I've had a very poorly toddler to deal with (vomiting/diarrohea plus a bout of impetigo and thrush caused by nappy rash, poor lamb). He's all better now but has added massively to the tiredness I'm feeling. Our close family are now in the loop which is good and I've self referred online for midwife services so hoping to hear about my booking appointment in the next couple of weeks.
To add to everything else, I had my second covid jab (Pfizer) on Saturday morning. Had my first pre-pregnancy. I was given the option to have it, postpone until post 12 weeks or after pregnancy. I know everyone has different opinions and concerns etc. but for me personally I thought the benefit of having full protection outweighs what could potentially happen later down the line should I end up with covid so I opted for it. Left me a bit spaced out and an aching arm but otherwise feeling okay and back to normal today. Always a worry going into the unknown though. I also want to take another pregnancy test just to reassure myself.
In terms of symptoms, fat and shattered is how I'd sum it up. Also, I never know what I'm going to feel like eating. Had my usual morning coffee today and it did not sit well with me, so that's now off the menu until such time I can stomach it.
For those first timers here, I do remember it does get better after the first trimester. Felt less tired and my appetite and food aversions sorted themselves out. Hoping that's the same this time around. I am definitely noticing the tiredness with this pregnancy and pretty much want to go to bed right after dinner at the moment.
Also, have been somewhat cranky and hormonal. Have apologised to my other half more than once over the weekend for my mood, I didn't remember having that the first time around!
