i look bad

tootlebug · September 2011

im so sick and so tired all the time and it shows. my mom keeps saying how sick i look - like all the time. i know that's what moms do - they worry but im tired of having it pointed out to me. and my bff is worried about me bc i look so thin and sick. i know they care...but they are totally right. i look awful. ive only lost about 3-4 lbs but on me i guess it shows. and i dont have energy for make up and i just look like ive had the flu for weeks. and im only 9 weeks on saturday so i dont see it going away anytime soon. i guess it's the twins thing bc i didnt look this gross with my son...ive just been kind of depressed bc im sick and tired, i cant eat much and i cant do much with my son. i know i should be thankful that im not throwing up and that i can keep some stuff down....

The glow will come. Hopefully things will turn around once you are out of the first trimester. Hang in there. Maybe invest in some under eye concealer and cream blush stick. Always make me look perky even if I am not LOL.

Do not worry about how you look. You are eating for three right now and that takes a huge toll on you and it is ok. Twins takes a huge huge ammount of nutrients and stuff from you so it is ok to look tired and to be tired. Shoot most of us are and we are only carrying one. Hopefully you will feel better soon, just make sure you rest.

I felt absolutely awful my entire first tri. I never threw up either. I had about two good hours every day right after I woke up...where I had a little bit of energy and the nausea hadn't kicked in. It was miserable. It let up around 12-13w. I did get on Zofran around 9w, and it helped with nausea but it made me constipated.

Rest up as much as possible. One of the only things I could eat in first tri was fruit. I also had a LOT of smoothies. It was too hard to drink straight water sometimes, so the smoothies helped keep me hydrated. I also put 1% milk and low fat yogurt in the smoothies to get my protein. My RE also said to eat whatever I could, even if that meant I was eating cheeseburgers or Taco Bell every day. The babies will take what they need from whatever you eat.

Rest up as much as possible. You deserve it. Your body is running a marathon every day making those babies.
