14w5d and jeez...
Ok, first off I LOVE being pregnant. I tried for nearly two years for my daughter who is now about to be 4 years old in Dec....and we tried for almost 2 years to get pregnant this time and we made it this far!!!! But I have some complaints 🙄
My acne...I've never had BAD acne, but I've always had some mild blemishes and black heads especially. Now I have a huge pimple on my cheek, back acne, even little bumps on my butt. 😑 I hate it. Where's the glow? The beautiful skin? Where oh where is it?!
My hair...is falling out like crazy. In clumps, all day. The drain is full after every shower and my man complains like I enjoy my hair falling out. 🙄 It's dry, unmanageable, and now it's just falling out like crazy. Just wonderful.
The frequent urination? It's supposed to slow down in the second trimester but I haven't noticed. I get up about every 2-3 hours to use the bathroom a night, which is really bothering my sleep...which is bothering my moods during the day. Lol.
And my last big complaint, where did this constant round ligament pain come from on my right side? Goes from the top of my right pelvic bone all the way down to my crotch. I feel like an old lady walking around!!! And it's worse in the mornings when I'm getting out of bed. Plus I have some kind of respiratory infection or something and I'm sneezing and coughing alot and it HURTS.
I LOVE BEING PREGNANT, I feel very blessed to get to experience these symptoms and they're problematic and complicated but they're because of something beautiful. That won't stop me from complaining about it. 🤣
Now I'm just waiting for little kicks and nudges, especially baby hiccups which are the cutest and I'll be able to forget about the rest for just a little while.
