I’m currently 8 weeks and feel VERY pregnant.

I have bad nausea and vomiting in the morning and then just nausea on and off during the day and night.

My breasts and nipples are very tender and hurt like hell if I bump into something or something accidentally bumps or grazes me (even the slightest brush of my nipples through my clothes has me wincing)!!

I have really bad reflux so find my self having to sit up a lot during the night.

My constipation is so bad that I’ve ended up in hospital with bad pains and cannot go to the toilet without bowel stimulants.

I have REALLY bad fatigue and had to pull over for a cat nap during a 40 minute drive home today. I could sleep for 12 hours a day and it still not be enough.

I wish I could sleep for 12 hours but most nights I can’t sleep even though I’m so tired.

I pee so much my partner thinks we should buy shares in a toilet paper company.

I have the worst headaches I’ve ever had in my life!!!

I have the most vivid dreams that seem so real it sometimes takes me a couple of minutes after I wake up to figure out I was dreaming.

In general I’m just very uncomfortable and super achy over my whole body.

The weird thing is, I actually don’t mind having these symptoms. For a long time I questioned whether or not I was going to be able to have children. So having these constant reminders that I have a little human growing inside me is amazing and makes me happy.

The more positive symptoms are that I was able to stop taking my anxiety medication because this pregnancy has made me surprisingly chill and very happy. I have been off my medication for over a week and feel more and more like my normal happy self every day.

Also, our sex life is AMAZING!!! My partner and I usually have sex every day we are together anyway, but since being pregnant I am more naturally lubricated ALL THE TIME. And I feel way more pleasure from sex than I normally do. My partner made me orgasm in less than 2 minutes this evening and I had another one like 2-3 minutes later. 🤯😆 Not a bad side effect at all!!!
