“You’re absolutely glowing” stated a friend of mine, “pregnancy looks good on you” at this point I almost spat my water across the table. Pregnancy, in fact does not look good on me at all. At 15 weeks, I have spent much of the last month vomiting, so much so I’ve been able to count the number of tiles in our bathroom. I honestly feel like I’ve battled a 24/7 hangover and that alone has turned me off even the thought of ever ever getting drunk again. With one hospitalisation, a total of 6 days at work, with the rest, setting up camp on the bathroom floor, crying and coping with bloody noses and gums. You can see why I may of found the above comments, somewhat comical? Overall, sometimes it’s not all glowing skin, beautiful tasseling waves of luscious hair, and feelings of joy. I have, genuinely thought on one or more occasions that our little peanut is deliberately trying to kill me. I have cried more times than ever before and I have never ever relied on my partner or googling more than I have these last weeks. Every pinch, every odd sensation, literally everything! So while I may not be having the perfect pregnancy, and I will be giving at times TMI, for the next 25 ish weeks, will be giving a real insight into what pregnancy can be like for some of us as well as my usual genre of blogging!
