This week has been really hard for me. i have had less work and such because i am training for a new job while finishing up my old one. However i am finally starting to notice the effect pregnancy is having on me. I have been sick, not just nauseous and tired, but really sick to the point i am not functioning. Also (be prepared for TMI) we had a scare this week as i noticed a lot of bleeding. then as we were about to go to the ER we discovered that it is a side effect of my meds and it is from my constipation (aka it's wasn't a baby scare it was a different area that was bleeding!). This has led to me now eating as much, more weight loss and a lot of side effects. It sucks and i am overjoyed to be pregnant and the doctor is CONFIDENT all is well with the baby, i wish it was taking less of a toll on me! There's so much coming up i need my strength for! i will take ANY advice for how to feel better and get my strength back before next week!
