Ya know what?! (rant) haha
I think the 1st trimester sucks..
Here's why- You feel like crap, you look like crap, you eat like a pig, hate your favorite foods, always need to eat but you can't stomach anything, your boobs feel like they were used as puching bags, you pee like a granny, you piss and moan like an angry wife, you're terrified of losing your baby, you barely get to see the baby, you can't feel the baby, you're an emotional wreck, and most of us are keeping our pregnancy quiet for a little while.
Now, here's what I think would make it better... if you got your cute 2nd trimester belly RIGHT AWAY... that way people would say "aww poor thing, she's just pregnant. Here give her some food, let her move ahead in line, give her your seat, go take a nap I'll take care of it, let me get that for you, oh sweetie let me cook/clean." LOL... ahhh wouldn't that just be wonderful??? A girl can dream can't she??? 
by the way- this is NOT an angry rant, I'm SUPER happy to be pregnant I just want to see this little monkey and know it's safe and growing strong!... I was just thinking out loud lol... can I get an AMEN??
Re: Ya know what?! (rant) haha
Amen, sister!! Preach! Hope you hear your babe soon!
I know....it totally sucks that we suffer through first tri looking like we are pissed at the world (due to fatigue, trying not to puke, hormones raging) and when we do tell - we are over that (well, mostly) and don't get the sympathy we needed those first 10ish weeks.
Luckily I think we will be spilling the beans at 10 weeks this time around. So hopefully I will still get some "I am sorry you feel sick" comments. :-)

I totally agree...I am a lot bitchier and I feel so bad for my husband. But I feel like he thinks I'm making these symptoms up! It drives me crazy!!
completely agree!!! when you are not showing (which right now is not my problem, or maybe showing early is) people think that your symptoms are all in our heads... um no nausea is not in my head!!! nor is being constipated or having random headaches or having a cold and not wanting to take anything... oh and sense of smell is hightened and co irker please stop cooking your weird meals and eating them at your desk they smell like arse... and other co irker you perfume that you put on by the gallon is going to make me hurl on you...
huge hugs ladies and I cannot wait till all of us get to the second trimester and even better the Third and holding our babies!!!
I vote yes on the disclaimer sign! LOL
