So, I'm 15 weeks pregnant. I figured I might as well start blogging about this mess called pregnancy. I know, it's a beautiful thing and all that. So far it hasn't been that beautiful for me. Sometimes I feel guilty because I can't seem to connect with my baby. How can I? I've been in pain since my fourth week and things haven't stopped. I dealt with an ulcer for about a month and had to take eight pills a day to heal it. I have pain everyday and pain at night. I wake up with stomach pain and painful gases. I can't brush my teeth without gagging.
Right now I feel great pressure in my chest and a dull pain in my stomach. To top it off, I'm starting to experience TMJ pain brought on by the pregnancy. I've also started dealing with my seasonal allergies that keep me up. They usually last about 3 months. I'm no wuss when it comes to pain, but I'm tired. I was ready for the normal pregnancy issues, but not for this. I'm also told that things won't get any better. Great. I will pray and pray and pray.
Sean has been great - beyond great. Amazing. In the last 3 months I've cooked about 5 meals and have spent much time on the couch or crying. He's never complained and does all he can to help me. He's been an amazing husband and support.
I have my 4 month check up of Friday.
