Re: Weekly Symptoms 4/19
This week depression is hitting me hard. I feel so low. I feel like life isn't worth anything and what's the point if I have no energy and I'm just sick all the time.
Have booked to see a therapist tomorrow though and have a virtual nurse check-in, also.
This doesn't feel like me at all.
Take this a day at a time and know that it isn't forever
I would like to add that I LOATHE bring pregnant, and the whole "not feeling like yourself" even though it sucks, is extremely normal, especially in the first trimester, so try not to beat yourself up over it. You are getting flooded with hormones and any sort of "control" we have over our bodies goes flying out the window. It does usually calm down a lot in the second trimester once the placenta takes over and your hormones level off. I promise it isn't permanent. Sending you so much ❤❤
@a@artsiefartsie @m@marbellie thanks for the love. I promise I'll be a better human on here one day 😂
Today I go for my first ultrasound, alone, the last time I had one there was an empty UT ans before that no fetal pole. I've had 4 days off from work and have been busy every day of it for the family.
I'm TIRED this week. The queasiness comes and goes, but I think I have turned a corner with that, which is so great. But boy, I hope I am able to stomach coffee again soon because this being tired constantly is ROUGH
@jenharvey84 And you as well! I'm sorry you've been feeling so down and not yourself. I hope the appointment with your therapist goes well today and together you come up with a plan for getting you all the support you need to start feeling better.
@jenharvey84 you are not alone ❤️ Have you had your appointment, yet?
Today the migraines have kicked back in. Ive seen a few of you ladies suffer from migraines as well and these pregnancy ones are pretty brutal. I used to suffer bad migraines triggered by stress. I haven't had one in over a year after I changed jobs. But I had 3 in the first few weeks after transfer, I thought maybe because thats when the hormones are increasing the fastest, but this one hit me out of nowhere. Started last night and I woke up with it this morning, as well as my hands being super swollen. I was worried by bp might be high, but at work it was 104/59. I finally broke down and took some tylenol, but it hasn't budged.
@sliztee i agree, I only did it out of desperation since nothing else was working.
If anyone has these feelings I highly recommend a therapist. Even just for a few sessions. It's such a help.

ETA: My new symptom this week -- That relaxin hormone has kicked in full gear. Now if I sleep on my sides, my hips and shoulders are aching like crazy and it's really hard to sleep. Ugh. I'm going to start trying some stretches before bed to see if that helps.
Now I need to go and buy some new bras because the puppies keep wanting to pop out in public 😂
