I'll start by telling you a little about myself. My name is Jessi, I'm from a small town in Ohio. And I'm 19 soon to be 20 years old. And I'm 12 weeks pregnant. And I am with an amazing man who is doing his part to help with everything going on. :)
So basically my thoughts on pregnancy is its a cruel joke. I found out I was pregnant at 6 weeks. The only thing that had hinted to me that I might be pregnant was the missing period and my boyfriend and I were fighting more, meaning something was wrong with me. Due to we hardly fight. I noticed I was being short with everybody. Not just him. I took a test. And there we have it the problem wasn't me starting to hate the world it was and overload of hormones caused by a baby! A few days after finding out I had my first battle with morning sickness. Lets just say my favorite food is now the enemy. When I was about 7 weeks to almost 9 weeks. I had horrible morning sickness. Now heres the cruel joke its called morning sickness but as well all clearly know it can happen at any point during the day. Shouldn't it find a new name?
At about 9 weeks I would say that the morning sickness calmed down. Because for me It literally became just that morning sickness. I found myself hugging the toilet only when I woke up. And The only thing that happened after that was just nausea if i smelled something i didn't like.
The only thing I have noticed a major difference in was that I got mad easily tho that is starting to settle down. at about halfway through the 10 week mark I started the "crying thing" anything and everything set me off. I dropped a paper I cried. I bumped into somebody I cried. I yelled at somebody then felt bad i cried. but I think you get the point. This has been the biggest emotional rollercoaster of my life by far.
Another thing that bugs me is since my first ob apt. about 5 weeks ago i've lost almost 10 pounds. but yet I have one pair of pants that fit. The others either button but are way to tight or don't button at all. So that means I get to go shopping. But the one thing I don't think I want to spend money on right now is new bras. Only because in 6 weeks my breasts have grown but i don't want them to keep growing and need a new bra in a couple months. So its officail sports bras are now my new friend. They are comfier to so that is a major plus.
The final thing i find to be a joke about pregnancy is that, it is not 9 months. Pregnancy is 40 weeks, which is 10 months. Some people do deliver early and some late, for those who are late they are pregnant for over 10 months! Growing up you hear 9 months. But when you get pregnant and the timeline is in front of you. Its just like why were we lied to? to make it seem like pregnancy is no biggy. and that its over before you know it?... Well I can't really say that last part. The weeks are flying by in the blink of an eye. It still seems like the week I found out.
Now a plus side to all of this. At 10 weeks and 5 days I got to here my little bundle of joy's heart beat for the first time. It was the best part of all of this by far. I can look past the lies of morning sickness and the whole "9 months" thing. :) the cause I got to hear that amazing sound. That sound keeps me going because in Jan. I get to see my baby on an ultrasound and I get to find out weither its a girl like I think it is. Or a boy like its father thinks it is.
As I begin to wind down this starter post I'd like to add that yesterday on thanksgiving was the first day I ate a full meal without feeling blah, it was so odd to have an appitete. And today was the first morning in 2 months that I did not be best friends with the toilet when I woke up. All in all its been a good day. With a lot of things on my mind that I will surely post about. But for now I leave you with this. And either tomorrow or next week I'll post about another thought that I have. Hope for anybody who reads this, that it wasn't to terrible!
thanks for reading.
12 weeks 1.5 days :)
