Indigestion, constipation, pimples, mood swings, ligament pains, and frustration finding something to wear is all the lovely side effects of being pregnant. I have been extremely lucky this go around my morning sickness did not cause me to be Mount Eruptus. The nausea just lingered with me from about noon until bedtime. At this time my nausea has all but gone away unless I'm riding in the car. The main thing that I have to complain about is INDIGESTION!!! However with the discovery of a little pill called Zantac my esophagus is finally feeling some relief. The other thing that happens to me when preggers is I develop teenage pimples. It is so annoying being as how I never had to deal with that embarassment as a teenage. And let me tell ya it is great trying to deal with it as an almost 30 year old!! I guess the pimples are an effect of all the hormones coursing through my body. I can blame the hormones on my mood swings too. I have not been Preggerzilla...I just become a Grouchy Grinch. I know it must drive Hubs crazy but he remains patient with me and seems to know when to give me my space. It amazes me how sometimes I feel like the hormones just take over my body and I'm essentially possessed with the Female Demon Estrogen. Another thing is that I'm showing now but it really just looks like I'm showing off a beer gut. I'm in that weird spot of actually being pregnant and just looking like I have a spare tire. I get so frustrated trying to find things to wear. I want to show off my little bump but instead it looks like I'm showing off my tub of love. Doesn't help that I'm already showing quite a bit already at only 14 weeks. Guess that is what happens when this is your 3rd time to saddle up.
You know amidst all these complaints there is nothing better than knowing the amazing feat your body is doing. You are nourishing a baby and protecting it until it arrives in this big bad world. It is an amazing feeling when you feel the baby move in your belly for the first time. Even though the journey getting there is not pretty nor glamourous it is definitely worth every moment.
