Was I prepared for the symptoms? Nope!
I'm due with my first in May 2020. I feel like when people talked about being pregnant, they always talked about the good things. Like when you can start feeling the baby, how amazing it is to be growing life inside of you, etc.
I didn't realize I'd have to take more medications than a prenatal, though that's unique to my situation.
I was NOT prepared for the morning sickness, which kicked in yesterday. I also have food aversions and I've been craving solely pasta. This is the first time in my life I've felt both hungry and full set the same time.
I'm used to being up until midnight. I can barely make it past 8 pm now. I'm not going to bring up waking up in the middle of the night to pee, because that sometimes happens to me when I'm not pregnant.
I just don't think I was prepared for the symptoms. And I think I'm freaking my husband out with my morning sickness.
