Feeling like A stranger in my body :(

MrsPinkPeony

DH and I moved from the city to the suburbs memorial day weekend. I found out I was pg only a few weeks after. We are settled, but our house does not yet feel like a home. I also feel like I don't even know what I like to do for "fun" anymore because our whole life has completely changed in the passed month and a half! I feel a little boring.... I'm so super sleepy all the time that plans with friends are def not tempting to me. I am getting really bored laying on the darn couch, but I can't help it. I get so dizzy and tired all the time. I know this will pass soon, im just craving some normalcy and familiarity in our new lives and new neighborhood. I hope DH still thinks im fun, lol! Not to mention I just don't feel or look "good". Sorry- just had to vent. Thanks for listening!

Awww...I know how you feel...and feel that I can't say it out loud, without getting the lecture:  "oh, you should be happy to be lucky enough to get pregnant, etc, etc" and I am, I truly am....but I'm also missing my old self already, and I'm only 7 and a half weeks.  I'm tired, I'm dizzy, I'm not a lot of fun, and I feel thick and uncomfortable already.  I wanted to be one of those hippy earth moms who glow and love every second of pregnancy, but I'm starting to think that isn't going to be me!  Anyways...just wanted to say I feel for you, and congratulations!

I feel your frustration as well. I think I had a misconstrued idea of how pregnancy would be. I hate saying it, but I haven't enjoyed being pregnant so far. The morning sickness, nausea and lack of appetite has gotten me more and more frustrated. Not to mention, my first appointment isn't until next weekend (I'll be 10 weeks by then). I just want to hear a heartbeat and maybe see the sonogram. I haven't made plans with friends in weeks because I am just NOT fun right now. I sleep a lot because it seems to be the only thing that stops my nausea, even taking Zofran. Hang in there, we will get through this!!!!

I know exactly what you ladies mean. I am just 7 weeks, and luckily for me I am off of school for the summer (law student). I can't imagine getting through the fog of fatigue and having to prepare for class every day. All of my clothes are already very tight, but it's still so early. At any rate, hang in there everyone and hopefully we'll be bubbly pregnant chicks soon

I'm there with ya! I have been feeling better in regards to M/S, but I do get quite sleepy, quite often. Also, when I do go out with friends, I find I feel more bloated than if I were home alone or with my hubby, which makes me feel more pregnant than I am (8 weeks as of yesterday).

Have you considered inviting a friend or two over for a movie night? Then you really just need to relax on the couch and if you fall alseep - so be it. (I have many non pregnant friends who fall asleep during movies all the time.) That way you get some socializing and some rest.

They say the 2nd trimester is when you feel your best. Here's to hoping!
