Pregnancy Reality

after the first trimester (i was nauseous for 16 weeks), the rest of my pregnancy was smooth sailing.

my baby bump actually made me feel sexy and my husband thought i was too. oh and the coveted pregnancy 'glow' was a warm welcome after months of feeling like the nausea would never end. cheer up:) lots to look forward to...i would do it again in a heartbeat!
 
Thanks all for sharing your experiences. They sound much worse than what I've had so far so maybe I'm just being a bit of a wuss. On a brighter note, I seem to be having a good day today, fingers crossed it lasts! Or maybe it's the ginger tabs starting to work..

Evgreen I can't wait for my baby bump! At the moment I just look and feel fat haha. At least I've filled out a bit on top so that's a bonus lol!

Yep. Men definitely get the better end of the stick.

until about week 32... when space inside becomes scarcer and then it feels like a football game is being conducted inside your uterus....i remember once, having an ultrasound... the babe decided she'd had enough poking and prodding and gave the wand such a kick, it jumped 6" off of my tummy! everyone in the room jumped a few inches, too!

funny thing... my girl still has an attitude! LOL!
 
Hang in there! It's my first pregnany too and my first trimester was terrible as well, I lost 3kg. Am now in the 19th week and I stopped vomitting about 4 weeks ago and have gained back all the weight lost & more =P So in short, there is light at the end of the tunnel ^__^ try to eat frequent small meals n not be hungry, crackers work well! Good luck!
 
Both of my pregnancies were VERY hard too. Agree with Carang on the some women have it hard at different points in pregnancy. For me the first trimester I felt horrid and the rest of the pregnancy I was so incredibly uncomfortable! I kept asking other women "Why didn't anyone tell me pregnancy was SO uncomfortable!?"

We have two kids and I was hoping the second time around would be easier alas it was actually worse so that's it for us. Trust me though when you get to look at the most beautiful person in the world, ie. your baby, for the rest of your life it's all worth it!
 
Hi Okitat! Thanks for the encouragement! Yes, I see a light at the end of the tunnel but it's such a small light at the moment! (and so many weeks away!)

Crackers and citrus fruits seem to be working best for me, and I definitely agree that eating small amounts constantly seem to be helping.

Good luck with your pregnancy too! Congrats on getting through the hard bit and now you can just enjoy :)
