I've been having a rough time today. I still have yet to yacked. I'm thankful to not have to endure that part of pregnancy, but it's one of the main symptoms that I think helps a woman understand that she's pregnant. We had our first appointment and got to hear BG's heartbeat, and we saw BG's little heart beating a million times a minute, but my brain is still telling me it could have been a tape that they played.
I blame most of the doubt on my previous doctors. They have chiselled the thought in my head that "if you don't feel pregnant, you're not". So, aside from being really hungry sometimes and gagging at horrendous smells, which mind you are all things that non pregnant woman do, I don't feel pregnant, so therefore I feel like I'm not.
Jason chatted with BG for about 20 minutes today trying to get them to move. Didn't happen. Furthermore, I see a lot of my friends, and their pics that they post, who are only a few weeks further along than me, and they're all showing! I know I was not a toothpick and so it will probably take longer for me to show, but I haven't gained any weight either.
I know Isound paranoid and am getting high anxiety. (At least I'm having the same emotions my books tell me I should be having at this point.) I just wish that I would start feeling flutters, or showing or anything!
Next appointment is Monday. Hopefully I will gt some answers from the Doc.
I know my comment may not help but I always remember something my mom said. She told us when she was pregnant her first time she didn't show until about her 6th month almost. Then she said with me when she got pregnant her body already knew what to do and she ballooned up imediately. So my thinking is that your body is on that first pregnancy learning curve. Don't worry my love! It's all normal! :)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, up until I heard that heart beat, I kept waiting to see Aunt Flo. I was gagging at about everything, but the hunger didnt hit me until 2nd trimester. Then I realized I have my husbands son in here demanding food like a garbage disposal! I also didnt show until about 4-5 months. I was hefty so there was already room to use. I am so excited for you! I can't wait to hear about your Gender Ultrasound! That was the most amazing thing, I could have laid in there all day watching this little guy.
