All the discomforts of pregnancy =

[Julia]

Hi Girls,

Just read a post from "Lauranjamesandbaby" and it got me thinking:

Lets put all the discomforts of pregnancy together (by the way I have not experiened all of these but many of them):

Morning sickness
headaches
sore boobs
bad back
indigestion
weight gain
constipation
leaky bladder / more discharge
palpitations
rib discomfort
cramps
bleeding gums
piles
spots
swelling (water retention)
funny taste in mouth
trapped wind
sore bladder
cramping
braxton hicks
labour
birth

.....but isn't it wonderful and well worth it when you hold that little bundle in your arms for the first time!!!!!

Symptoms???? Bring 'em on!!!!!!


Hope you are all enjoying the symptoms!

Thought id add a couple more

Funny/ changed eye sight (i personally cant play the Playstation anymore as i feel im going to throw up)

Highly sensitive emotions (the smallest of things can make me cry now)

Stretchmarks (and having to apply creams/ oils to keep them at bay)

But thinking about when i'll get to hold my LO in 14 weeks makes it all worth it x

Sweaty feet (maybe that's just me... )

nope not just you! I'm going to add loss of memory and doing stupid things like putting tea bags in the fridge. Or is it just me thats lost my marbles?!

 

[kellyannlyle]

My 2 things that I experience that is just TMI for mist people to handle and make you wonder HOW people enjoy pregnancy is:

1) THRUSH

2) LEAKING BOOBS

number 2 is new to me today while i was wearing a green strapless NO bra..... AT WORK ! ! ! ! ! ! !

 

[CH0C0H0LIC]

Since becoming pregnant i've gained the urge to watch chat shows (jeremy kyle, ricki lake, sally) to comfort myself that their are people out there that are fatter, uglier, gobbier and look worse than me in lycra to make me feel i'm not the only pratt on the planet lol

can't watch makeover shows and don't get done get dom cus it makes me cry when i see other people getting emotional cus they got new wallpaper or a toilet repaired!

Tis me hormones lol (but well worth it in the end)
