first trimester blues
alrighty.
this is a mild vent/complaint post for my unfortunate series of events
i found out i was pregnant again post mc on january 9th! super elated and beyond excited - hoping for a sticky bean!!!!
a few days later, i get covid!!! wooooo!! of course i haven’t gotten sick once since way before covid and i get it when i’m 4/5 weeks preggers!! hahaha. i’m not vaccinated and don’t plan to be, no judgement against it, just personal choice! anyway i didn’t even test for it, im just assuming because i had all the classic symptoms and my husband brought it home from the office where everyone tested positive that same week! anyway i got hit hard with covid, i hurt all over real bad + low grade fever for a night + migraine.
i lose my taste/smell the day before massive morning sickness aka all day sickness starts.
is this a blessing or a curse?
ugh, anyway im violently nauseous for days until i figure out the ole Unisom + B6 trick.
god bless.
losing my taste and smell has been horrible because my wildly wack pregnancy cravings just don’t feel 100% satisfied.
oh well at least i’m not throwing up at 2 am again. haha
i have a bit of my taste + smell back, but it’s horrendous smells- like body odor -toilet water -and dirty dishes
definitely nausea-inducing but not nearly as bad as before..
then i crack my cavity filling on a jelly bean and i cry for 20 minutes because i’m like totally feeling bad for myself
meanwhile, i cannot keep my eyes open because first trimester + covid recovery + unisom = a long LONG day of naps.
luckily i work from home and get a lot of naps in!
anyways i would say i have about 25% of my taste/smell back
i no longer feel sick / weak thankfully, ten days later. i hardly left my bed. literally it was like bed rest i felt so weak
i just feel ridiculously exhausted still and i have little motivation to do much more than sit in bed and watch documentaries
i literally can’t stop burping and farting
i’m constipated as crap
sheesh+ everything my husband cooks makes me wanna gag poor fella has been an angel though
anyways, other than needing to complain hardcore and get this out of my system, i have an ultrasound on tuesday!! yay!!! prayers and good vibes pls
we are so exited + no one knows yet so i haven’t been able to fully complain to anyone hence this post> love y’all
i can’t wait for the second trimester 🙏☀️
