first trimester blues

Calle • Just trying to figure out my body

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 🙏☀️
