Uncomfortable

I'm now remembering (not that I ever really forgot) the discomfort that comes from just being pregnant. I know the 2nd trimester is supposed to be so much better. I guess my 1st trimester wasn't that horrid, so this is almost the same, just with less nausea. And, my boobs hurt all the time. Thank goodness I already had huge bras from my previous pregnancy. I cannot imagine finding time with work and a toddler to go get fitted for supper skinny, yet super huge bras. My clothes are all in between right now. I switched to maternity jeans weeks ago to have a more comfortable waistband against my sensitive tummy, but the butt is too big because I have such a tiny bump in front. I wore a normal shirt today, because they still fit, but I was pulling it down over my rotund little belly every time I walked somewhere. And... Today my stomach and back hurt if I didn't sit with my back rigidly upright. I had to do a lot of computer work, which sucked for sitting properly. Also, I've got gas today, which never contributes to a good mood. Who am I kidding? Flatulence happens everyday. My digestion is just that much worse right now. I hate it. Also, I really want to feel the baby kick more often, but I know what that means. It'll be keeping me awake at night with it's midnight tap-dancing sessions. We welcome all the crazy signs and symptoms as we seek our bfp and sticky little bean, but it is kind of a pain to put up with growing a little human in your body. Okay. I just needed to vent a little bit. I'm really excited about this baby and all the stages, but the waiting is tough and even tougher when I don't feel that awesome. I kind of have residual effects of two viruses in a row, I didn't drink caffeine this morning, and I didn't sleep well last night. All those alone are enough to cause some discomfort, but put it together with pregnancy, and it's a little more annoying. Hope everyone else out there is feeling good/happy. My weepiness from the weekend seems to have gone away, at least. Oh, and I posted a new pic collage for this week in my bump gallery. Love online blogs/social networking. Another thing I'm really looking forward to, good distraction, is the Superbowl on Sunday. Yay!

| Comment from rcorinne » Posted Jan. 31, 2015 5:58pm Mostly my boobs hurt. My nipples are sensitive if I touch them, but compared to the pain of any compression against the breasts as a whole, the nipples are nothing. I think it started around 12 weeks-wish. I don't know, seems like my body takes about 3 months to process things. I think I was waiting for the cup size change forever, then it just took over too quickly. Do you have pregnancy books? I found that reading tons of them from the library was really helpful to know what to expect when. I devoured them. Don't bother buying any. They are relatively quick reads and become repetitive when you get more than a couple. Just check out a few with pretty pictures, return them, check out a few more, and you'll be good to go on all the crazy possible symptoms. Hahaha. I love research when no one forces it on me. Such a love-hate with information. This is why I was a good student despite my boredom with textbooks. |

Is it your boobs or nipples that hurt? Wow! I knew pregnant women got uncomfortable, just didn't realize it was so many changes. I'm glad the viruses & weepiness are gone. I can't wait to get to your stage, but I should be careful about what I ask for, right?! Have fun watching the game!! |
