Haha! I'm so sorry you feel blindsided by the yucky side of pregnancy, BUT... I remember hating to hear every woman complain about how bad it was going to get for me, so maybe it's a good thing. (Some of the symptoms other people have may never even bother you.) But if you really think you'd prefer to be warned, then look forward to some serious back pain, searing nipple pain, and hemorrhoids!Carissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10886254953995520610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1792668029947555697.post-87604111377101496512013-01-05T10:55:24.392-08:002013-01-05T10:55:24.392-08:00I'm sorry it's been so not fun for you dur...I'm sorry it's been so not fun for you during some parts. I will say that every pregnancy is different, but you will overcome!! We also do complain though, usually to our been there done that friends who can sympathize and tell us that they have been there to and that it sucks, but to rejoice in the kicks and the feeling of growing a baby inside of you, because once they come out it's a whole other ball game =) One tip for you is sleepy time tea. My midwife/family nurse practitioner okayed it for me as long as it didn't become an every night habit and it doesn't knock you out but allows your body to relax to fall asleep! It was a lifesaver for sure! Also, vicks on your feet with socks on them is supposed to help with breathing. Also, try a cool mist humidifier in your room to help with breathing. Okay that was long, but keep up the good work growing that baby!Amber Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16630994996646720758noreply@blogger.com
