Alien Parasite???

Does anyone else feel like their body has been taken over by an alien parasite? I feel so out of control of what is going on inside of me, it's crazy! My hormones are all over the place making me dumber than I'd ever thought I could be, I'm crying all the time, my road rage has gotten out of hand, I'm eating like crazy yet not gaining weight and eating crazy things I never normally do, I can't drink (which I really miss), I'm completely exhausted to the point where I can't do anything other than work, eat and sleep. I've even had the thought "I don't want to be pregnant and have a baby anymore!!!" because I feel like a completely different person, and not one I like! And I've still got 7 more months of this before the baby even arrives?!?!?!
And unfortunately my DH tries but he just doesn't have a clue, which makes it even harder as we've always understood everything that the other is going through so we've had more tiffs in the 9 weeks of this pregnancy than we've had in the two years prior.
This parasite is wearing me out!!! Can anyone relate???

Re: Alien Parasite???
First, I LOVE that you are calling a parasite. I am too, and no one seems to think that is amusing! HA!
But yeah, I feel the same way. Exactly. I'm not the same person at all and I hate that part. I'm having terrible morning sickness and I never feel physically well. I'm moodier than I have ever been in my life. I'm uncomfortable, my body is changing much faster than I expected. I'm not due until November and I don't know how I'm ever going to make it that long!!!
(I bought my husband an expecting father's book. He doesn't even remotely get it!)
Prepare for the flames that are about to come a burnin'.
I know! Until it looks remotely human, its totally an alien, and until it's viable, it's a parasite. My gyno called it a parasite last time I saw him (my initial appt.).
I remember with DD the "blueberry" stage was TOUGH!
My boss actually called the babies paracites and that made me LOL!! SHe said that she called her 2nd daughter that because for her entire 5th month she was a zombie with no energy. I guess tecnnally it's correct... a paracite is a foreign body living off your own ; )
I'll call them that till I feel better... but right now... ::barf::
I'm amazed that nobody has flamed you yet!! Some people on this board do not have any sense of humor AT ALL. Last week someone (jokingly) said that their baby was the devil because she got sick in church.
I get what you are saying though. This baby is sucking the life out of me.
^ This exactly. I feel like a zombie and sometimes I half way wonder if DH has somehow let it slip his mind that we are having a baby.
TTC #2 since 1/1/13
Thank you everyone for your comments! There just seems to be a void in all the pregnancy talk about how bad it can be! I was talking to my cousin today who has a 1yo and she said that she remembered feeling the same way, like "why doesn't anyone tell women that pregnancy is like this???" but that once the baby comes, you completely forget it all!!! I really hope that is true. And fortunately, I don't feel this way all day every day, and this whole pregnancy thing is temporary. We just need to keep talking to each other and LOL-ing.
Thanks again ladies and hang in there.
I'm ready to climb the walls, too, buddy.
<a href="http://s124.photobucket.com/albums/p2/thcity/Mobile Uploads/?action=viewmy exact words last night, "there is an alien parasite taking over my body and eating my brain". i have never felt more nauseous, tired, and stupid in my entire life. e.g. i just spell checked nausea/nauseous to make sure i was spelling it correctly. omg.
