If you have ever been, or are currently pregnant, you probably know exactly where I'm coming from. The last three months have been a mixture of hormones, exhaustion, tears, happiness, googling, googling, googling. I don't think I have ever googled so much in my entire life.
The one thing that has really helped me though is reading other blogs, to help me realise it is completely normal to be an emotional, sometimes irrational, wreck - especially when you are pregnant!
I have to say I have found the last 12 weeks tougher than I imagined they would be. Finding out I was pregnant was the best news I could have hoped for before Christmas, I am literally so excited, however I cannot believe the levels of exhaustion I have felt. Morning sickness hasn't been bad at all, I would have a few mornings, mainly after not having slept very well, where I would suffer from nausea, but that would pass if I could manage to make myself eat some fruit, grapes and clementines have been my saviour.
Hormones wise, they seem to get the better of me when I am tired or haven't slept well. I had a massive emotional breakdown at work last week where I just couldn't stop crying and no amount of telling myself to stop behaving like a crazy person would do the trick. In the end my Manager decided it would be best if I just went home. I felt SO embarrassed, luckily I work with a lovely team who were all super understanding.
The last few annoying symptoms have been that my breasts have grown 3 whole cup sizes (I think) and my jeans are definitely a little (ok a lot) more snug on the hips by now. However I'm really not showing much at all yet. I tried to take a bump photo today but it was really pathetic so I will just have to wait for that.
Anyway, thank you for reading and I hope you will continue to follow me throughout the next 6 months. I intend to do an update every week of how I'm doing and hopefully to do some fashion and lifestyle posts for preggos too.
We had our first scan last week. It was amazing! Here's a picture of our little peanut.
