[mom2be]

Hello Friends, i am a new member and expecting. im only 2months but i feel horrible. :cry: >>>>>I THOUGH PREGNACY WAS A GOOD FEELING???? PLEASE TELL ME WHATS GOING ON... THANK YOU!!!!!!!

[Beck]

I think the person that came up with the idea that pregnancy was this spectacular thing has never been pregnant!!!!! It certainly has its moments (for like a month in the second trimester), but the first trimester is spent being sick constantly and the third trimester is spent wanting to have the kid already! :wink: You're two months in, though...it does get better. I promise! :D

[mom2be]

:D Thanks Beck. i cant wait untill it gets better. i feel sick ALL THE TIME!!! its effecting my relationship with my Husband, and also family and friends but especially SCHOOL...... :(

Awe, I hope you're feeling better soon.

I'm sorry you're not feeling good. I felt great the whole time with my son but was nauseous feeling with my daughter for the first 3 months. The last three months she was lying on my pubic bone and pain would should down my legs everytime I stood up. After that happened, I could no longer make fun of women who waddle when they are pregnant :lol: ! If ound myself doing that some! Best of luck and keep us updated on your pregnancy! Stephanie :D

"What to Expect When You're Expecting" is a great book! It can alleviate fears and help you feel normal and allow you to allow yourself to indulge in just feeling poorly. Now you know why they are so precious when they finally arrive! But some day soon that baby will be one year old and you can't believe it already! And then you blink and they are 16! Enjoy this time. Don't rush through it. Even the misery of it! I KNOW how awful it is. I had four and was throwing up threw the first 16 weeks with each one while I worked night shift as a Labor and Delivery nurse, helping other to have their babies! Be good to yourself. The work will be there when you are feeling better, believe me!

If I shared my pregnancy story, your eyes might pop out...but the book she mentioned is a really helpful book to have and its easy to find for cheap on ebay or in a thrift store..I see it all the time

I was sick the first three months with this baby. I felt terrible. I had never puked so much in my life. And if my husband touched me, well, he got a cold shoulder! The poor man. Turns out, it did get better when I finally hit the second trimester. I hit third next week and things sure are changing again. It does get better. But things sure are not like normal! (we are having a girl. Which explains some of the lack of desire for my husband, I think. I miscarried what we were pretty sure was a boy last fall, and I was hardly sick, and I craved my husband all the time. This pregnancy sure has been different on all levels).

If it is concerning you a whole lot, be sure to talk to the dr, about it.

try nibbling crushed ice if you're really sick...take it from one who knows

you don't want to dehydrate, no fun at all

I have been pregnant twice and both pregnancies were totally different. With my first I had a lot of m/s and sometimes it lasted ALL day :( It was miserable. But this last pregnancy, I think I was nauseas a little and maybe vomitted one day. So I just wanted to encourage you, that if you are sick this time it might not be that way next time!
Hopefully you might only have a few more weeks left of being sick as it usually passes by the 2 nd trimester.
Congratulations on your pregnancy and welcome to the site :)

I was really sick this time... But I am almost ten weeks and seem to have started to turn a corner... So hang in there!

Look at me... this is the third time I am doing this!

Mom2B LOL... no it certainly isn't that GLOWING time described in some magazines. Being pregnant is HARD WORK!

I was sick for the first 16wks and over the past few days have had a few attacks of the queezies (I am 6 months now)

I've also read articles which say "YOu will never feel more sexy at any other time of your life" ROTF. [pregnantside] DH has to always tell me I am pretty at the moment [crybawl]

Some people love it and do find it a spectacular experience, of course we all here want and love our babies, but the general concensus you will find is that IT IS HARD WORK MAKING A BABY.

So consider your feelings normal honey

Yes, pregnancy can play havoc with your body, your emotions and everything else :( . Some women absolutely love being pregnant, but I would have to say that I am not one of those women who enjoys being pregnany and do not recall feeling that wonderful pregnancy glow. I get morning sickness, feel really tired, am an emotional wreck etc. But these things are not surprising considering the INCREDIBLE changes that are happening inside you body. And there are still many precious things to cherish along the way - feeling your baby move, anticipating babys arrival, feeling babys closeness, marvelling at being part of such a miracle... The amazing blessing of a baby is worth the journey - for me I was on a high from that first moment I looked into my sons eyes...and here I am doing the pregnancy thing again.

NZMummy, you're avitar is sooo darling!! :D :D :D

I'm one of those strange ones who LOVED being pregnant.

With my first, I dreamed of ttc for about a year before we started. It was all I thought about. I thought preg bellies were the cutest thing ever, loved maternity clothes, thought mommies seemed to glow when they were preg, thought their hubbies must be TOTALLY in love with their amazing, beautiful wives. I couldn't wait. Course, I'd wanted a baby since I WAS a baby. :wink:

Every time I got my BFP I thought I was THE luckiest, most blessed woman that ever lived. I kid you not!! I floated! :D Then, with all four babies, I got Hyperemisis Gravidarum about two weeks after my missed period and was on i.v.'s (had a heart catheter) until I was 24 weeks (six months!!). Yup. Bed-bound with nurses taking care of me and siiiiiiiiiiick. I puked if someone turned a doorknob and let it snap back, if dh asked me if I was hungry, if I smelled food or even dreamed about it, stood up, laid down, turned my head too quickly... wow... good times! :D

After preg #1, I planned ahead for preg #2. Notified family that we were goin for it again. Stocked the freezer. Enlisted help in taking care of dh and baby Scotty. Bought tons of books, new sheets and jammies, made sure every corner of my house was spotless, called all friends and said I would be receiving visitors and NEEDING friends to get my mind off of the siiiiiiiiiick.

After I would recover from six months of siiiiiiiiick, I had a month to buy everything, decorate the nursery, and party like my life depended on it, cuz at about seven months the pre-term labor would kick in and I would be back in bed on Terbutaline (?can't remember the sp). Then we'd schedule my c-section for 38 weeks.

What's not to LOVE about all that? I'm tellin ya, my friends ALL thought I was crazy, and my parents tell me sometimes how hard it was on them. I got soooo skinny in my preggs. I weighed less after giving birth each time than I did in jr high. My O/B TOLD me while preg with # 4 that that WOULD be my last, and he would be more than happy to personally tie my tubes while he was in there doing the c-section! [rofl] My dad, who comes in the o/r for my c's told the doctor while they were delivering baby Chloe that he brought his best "Hinkle" knife and he wasn't afraid to do the tubal ligation himself, if need be. :lol:

Ya know... it sounds weird to me, too. [OK] I honestly think God knew He had to make me this way or I would have stopped at one baby. That joy came from somewhere inside of me and far surpassed all reason. My doctors asked me each time if I wanted to abort. Out of the question! That's like saying to someone, "I know you have to flu, how about I run over you in my car?" Excuse me??? Is that supposed to make me feel better? :roll:
