Why was I not aware of how horrible I would feel when pregnant

Around 5.5 weeks I started getting "morning sickness" and throwing up, by 6 weeks thru maybe 10 weeks I felt nausaus most of the day and would have 1-3 throwing up sessions a day. I spent most of those days in bed. At around 10 weeks? I started feeling a little better and could do more paperwork etc however still didn't want to go out much and was feeling pretty crappy. I was having trouble sleeping because I was waking up all the time to pee. Also throughout the whole time I would have days of extreme exhaustion where I was so tired it hurt. Also, one of the worst symptoms was after a particular bad day I would get bad anxiety and felt there was nowhere to relieve it. Now at almost 15 weeks during the day I usually feel okay not great but not too bad and usually in the evening I can't keep food down. I am still throwing up just as much but at least the all day nauseous has disappeared. I have also noticed a little bit of acid reflux but that symptom is minor.

I only leave the house a couple times a week and it is usually really short trips because I am afraid of getting sick. I have gone out with a friend a couple of times and my mom and felt okay for longer periods of time, however overall I have done almost nothing this whole summer and spent little time outside which is disappointing because it will be cold soon. However, I know I should be thankful we got pregnant easily.

14 weeks 2 days

Sleep: sometimes I sleep okay and other time I am up all the time. Still peeing a lot at night.

weight the scale said up 2.4 pounds this morning which would mean I lost weight since last week. My appetite has seemed to decrease.

Cravings/Food Aversions: yogart, fruit, ate morning star veggie corn dogs and they were so good. 

Belly Button:  In

Rings on or off: On


Stretch Marks: no
Best moment:  I felt great (in relation to how I have been feeling) and had energy Friday and Saturday.

Looking forward to: still feeling completely back to normal I thought when I had such good days Friday and Saturday the worst was over but sunday I felt awful puking, extreme tiredness and then yesterday I felt okay in the morning but by the evening my stomach was hurting and I puked a little bit.

What I miss: getting out of the house on a regular basis and doing stuff fun. Being able to go in the car for more then an hour without puking


Appointments:  September 3
 

Misc. my arms have been breaking out like crazy since about like the 5 or 6th week, yet my face seems to be about normal (always have had acne) not sure why.

Thing brought for the baby: went to a garage sale and got 13 new pieces of baby clothes new with tags for 1 dollar each (2 onsies were 50 cents each) They are all girl and so cute.  Also got a pink bundle me thing for the carseat for 1 dollar. Now that I have so many girl clothes we will probably have a boy. Also got some maternity clothes at a consignment sale- 10 pieces averaged 4 dollars a piece spent 42 dollars.

13 weeks 1 day

Sleep:  still wake up a lot at night to pee/because I am hungry since I usually throw up at night. The husband is back to sleeping in the bedroom which is okay, but I wake up when he wakes up to go to work around 6 and it usually takes me awhile to fall back to sleep.

weight up about 4 pounds  

Cravings/Food Aversions: The same as last week: orange juice, toaster strudels, waffles, fruit. Eat a hamburger twice this week- I haven't eaten a hamburger in like 10 years and since I have been close to vegetarian for the last year this is weird for me- however have not been vegetarian lately- too worried about not getting enough protein.

Belly Button:  In

Rings on or off: On


Stretch Marks: no

Best moment: I am pretty much done with the first trimester. Also, didn't have anxiety this week.

Looking forward to: Feeling completely back to normal I am def feeling better but not great yet. I am still puking just as much, however def less all day nausea and tiredness

What I miss:  being able to go out without worrying about feeling nausea.


Appointments:  September 3
 

Misc. we got a new mattress this weekend it gets delivered next weekend we will see if it helps me sleep better

Thing brought for the baby: went to a garage sale where they had 25 cent baby clothes. Got 28 pieces of 7 dollars mostly baby gap, children's place, and a couple other brands. Also go a monitor with 2 receivers for 3 dollars, A bunch of newborn mittons so they don't scratch for 1 dollar and a fleece swaddle blanket for 1 dollar. Spent 12 dollars total. Will prob give my sister a bunch of the clothes since she knows she is having a girl and most of them are girl. As long as she promises to give them back if we have a girl too =-)

12 weeks 1 day

Sleep:  it's okay, still make husband sleep somewhere else most nights because I sleep better- usually wake up several times but not too bad. Also notice I have to pee less now.

weight up 3 or 4 pounds

Cravings/Food Aversions:  orange juice, toaster strudels, waffles. Still don't like meat

Belly Button:  In

Rings on or off: On


Stretch Marks: no

Best moment: hitting 12 weeks or around 12 weeks since I don't know my exact date of conception and I told the neighbor and she is so excited because she has a 1 year old and 3 year old so we can have play dates

Looking forward to:  still feeling normal again and being able to do things with out worrying about feeling sick. Not having to worry about anxiety. I get anxiety once or twice a week and it is the worse. I think it is over the fear of being sick.

What I miss:  feeling normal- I am feeling a little better and can actual go out some and do some work etc but still feel crappy a decent amount of time and throw up every single day (usually between 5-15 times in a row) Although I did have one day this week I didn't throw up at all.


Appointments:  prob the beginning of September but it is not firmed up yet.
 

Misc. I felt pretty good most of the weekend- took a nap on Saturday because felt very tired and woke up really groggy, so when I got the same tired feeling sunday tried to hold off on the nap guess that wasn't a good idea because by early evening I felt so sick and extremely tired - threw up like 7 times in row and finally managed to fall alsleep around 6:30 but woke up to my phone ringing at 10 and felt nausea and extreme tiredness. Finally fell back to sleep. Slept in until 8 this morning. I feel better today but still not great.

Thing brought for the baby: the neighbor found me jjcole bundle mes on one of the garage sale site they retail for 20-50 dollars each. I am suppose to meet the person on Saturday to pick up 3 of them two spring ones and 1 winter one for $2 each. We went and stocked up on a CVS diaper deal combining coupons and cvs rewards they ended up being 2.15 for a jumbo pack. we got 6 packs so it was .66 cents a diaper for size 3. However we have not used the 2 10 dollar cvs rewards we got yet- I didn't let the husband talk me into using it right away on more diapers- thats how you don't get a good deal- although the CVS brand diapers were super cheap I am hesistant to buy them because don't know how well they work. We now have about 350 diapers- I think we need like 3,000 at least!

11 weeks 2 days

Sleep:  I kicked the husband out of the bedroom and now I am sleeping much better still wake up several times at night but not as often. I feel a little bad about not letting him sleep with me but figure sleep is more important.

weight idk I got to check this one

Cravings/Food Aversions:  orange juice, mostly eat carbs because meat grosses me out and veggies are hard coming back up

Belly Button:  In

Rings on or off: On


Stretch Marks: no

Best moment: feeling a little better the last few days  

Looking forward to:  still feeling normal again and being able to do things with out worrying about feeling sick.

What I miss:  being able to go out to eat and actually being able to eat more then a small amount/not have to worry about feeling sick. Socializing.


Appointments:  had my first appointment but mostly just talking since we are staying away from ultrasounds unless medically necessary.  
 

Misc. I am still throwing up pretty much daily (although yesterday was the first day I did not throw up all, but already threw up today). However, the all day nausea is gone and I just feel sick here and there. I also almost always feel like my stomach is hungry so it is hard to know how much to eat. Had some anxiety this week which is the worse luckily it seems to have gone away. (think I was having anxiety about feeling sick but not sure)

Thing brought for the baby: Target had baby clearance so I got a stoller/car seat set for 50 percent off $85. Also brought 3 pieces of baby girl clothes at a garage sale for 25 cents each. I also ordered a 4 in 1 crib in expresso on amazon for 90 dollars shipped originally $200. It is on backorder so don't know how long it will be till I get it but it was such a good deal I brought it even though it is super early to get a crib. The last thing I brought was a nursing pillow free just payed shipping of 12.99. (Didn't realize I brought so much this week until I listed it all! Guess I should scale it back)
