It’s comforting to know I’m not alone in my misery! Don’t get me wrong, I’m thrilled to be pregnant and it’s taken a long time to get to this point, but I just never expected to feel so awful! I feel sick all day, every day. I try to keep eating as that’s supposed to stop the nausea, but I have trouble finding any foods I actually want to eat, and when I do eat my stomach bloats out almost instantly and I end up full of gas and it’s really uncomfortable! I’m not quite 7 weeks yet and am filled with trepidation as I know there is a long way to go until all of this subsides! The thought of dragging myself through another week at work and putting on a brave face also makes me cry! How can something be so joyful and so miserable all at once?! It’s insane!

Just another thank you. I’m only 9 weeks and I’m already wearing a Bella Band — from bloating! I was feeling super fat until I read your post, even despite my hour long walks every day and my organic diet. Thank you! Your post made me feel so much better.

I’m there with you Sweta!! I’m in my 11th week as well and I’m tired, nauseous, get sad or depressed easily… I cried watching Free Willy the other day… guess the hormones are acting up… I gained 4 pounds in 4 weeks… What’s everyone else’s weight gain in your 1st trimester?

Great description of the pregnacy!!! I wake up 3-4 times every single night (12am,3am, and 6am) to eat because I’m hungry and I’m in my 11th week. It started at 1eek 6. And my tummy started to grow at 6.5 weeks. Anyone else experiencing this?

Don’t worry about your friend that had a rough labor. Those are few and far between and to new moms all labor is a little rough. I mean lets face it your squeezing a watermelon through something the size of an orange. I was terrified going into my first labor they had told me that my daughter was going to be 9lbs because I was diabetic….they were way off she was 7lbs 3oz and there was little pain during labor and none after the epidural. Just make sure you always tell them your in pain and they will keep administering the drugs! How ever no one prepared me for the pain that followed child birth, it should only last about a weeek! In a few months you will look back and say “it wasn’t that bad.” The sleepless nights will wear on you much harder than any labor. So keep ypur head up and good luck!! I will be right there with you, I’m 36 weeks along with my second baby!

Thank God I’m not alone. I’m the exact same way, we always used to tease my mom for crying at EVERYthing, and now after my first I’m a huge weeper.

Like most Mothers and moms to be, I love having a child but does being pregnant have to feel this way. Iam only halfway through and I cant figure out how I’ll do the rest of the upcoming months. Everyday has a new suprise, from constipation, to nausea, weakness and lack of energy to just feeling like #*%$*!.
Sorry I dont mean to vent but everyone around me seems to act like I should be able to go mountain climbing and if I say I cant or dont feel great then I am being a being nag.
