May I Vent?

Question

Whine alert...I'm MISERABLE!!! 😩 I'm bloated, out of breath, absolutely exhausted, feeling fat, have a bad taste in my mouth all of the time, hungry, but eating makes me feel worse, gassy, constipated, and moody...and guess what? I'm ONLY 12 weeks and 4 days! What in the world??!!  My first pregnancy in 14 years. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy, but this was a total surprise, and I'm 39. Did I forget how this feels? Does it get better? Tell me it does.

Now please for the love of all things special, don't respond with "well I feel fine, I'm so happy, and I've only gained 1 pound" because although I'm happy for you, we are not on the same page.

I'm sorry...hormones...thank you for listening. 😔

Answer

This is my 2nd pregnancy (first was 10 years ago). This time is MUCH harder and more uncomfortable than the first.

Answer

1st- we have the same name except I spell mine Rhashida. 2nd- I hear you! I'm 38 years old and 21 weeks pregnant and always tired. I can't get a good nights sleep because I'm constantly up- going to the bathroom or tossing and turning. I feel like I have so far yet to go! I can barely make it through each work day and waking up in the morning is a chore. Hang in there mama. I wish I had some more encouraging words but I'm struggling just like you.

Answer

WHINE AWAY, girl. I feel the same! Find comfort in knowing you're not alone in this at all :)
Last time I was pregnant was 13 years ago and I had the same thoughts..thinking I forgot how everything goes and feels. I do think we forget but also I wonder if its harder the older we get?
