Howdy - should've continued with this ages ago - however - had a mild panic that someone I knew would find out I was pregnant BEFORE the '12 week' magical mark!? So ceased action until I was well past it... that's now.
I'm now 21 weeks plus 3 days preggers and quite honestly the last few weeks have been an emotional rollercoaster!
The dreaded morning sickness, that turns you '50 shades of green', feeling particularly unattractive and generally like a walking zombie finally decided enough was enough at about 17 weeks. Not gonna lie, this was WAY to long for my liking, but that's just the journey to motherhood for you.
Despite some of my pregnant friends, not even feeling nauseous, let alone throwing up every little morsel of food that passes your lips, I was in very good spirits.
Last week we found out we're team blue! And I'm massively excited by this, and I had two whole weeks of feeling marvellous, 'blooming' and generally pretty smug until last Wednesday, when I uttered the words to my husband... ''have you got a sore throat''??
DEAR LORD.... I have had PREGNANCY FLU! Much worse than man flu, or any other type of flu... Its vulgar.
I have coughed, vomited (through coughing so much), had severe headaches, post nasal drip, earache, chest pain, general fatigue and a very grim outlook!!!! And to top it off... its lasting forever.
Not ACTUALLY forever. But it feels like it, and I'm sure Hubs feels like I've had it for the past 100 years. It has actually just been about a week, but my god, you can't do anything! No fun, no outings, no showing off my lovely bump, no energy, no life, no nowt!
I'm antibiotics now - which I have been assured by the Doctor, nurse and 2 pharmacists are safe for use during pregnancy...
This sent me into turmoil, do I take it? Will it hurt my little bubba? Can I get rid of this without it?? Is the actual virus hurting my little bubba? ARGH! I decided to trust in the medical profession and try and get myself back healthy, as I see it, my bun isn't going to cook nicely if the ovens on the blink!
Isn't pregnancy a bit scary at times, its wonderful and joyful and exciting and marvellous, but goodness me, its nerve wracking, makes you question everything, worrying and SCARY!
Maybe I'm the only acopic pregnant flu ridden lassy out there... or of course, maybe actually we all harbour feelings like this and its really quite nice to hear that others stress as much as yourself!
Any comments or experiences welcome to my blog :)
Never meant for my first rant to be so whingey... but what the hell... I'm pregnant ;)
