I am a bloated, farting, first trimester mess.

I had so many complications with DD that I never really knew what was normal pregnancy and what was just me.

Now I know that I am *not* one of those glowing pregnant ladies who wear pregnancy well.

I am a bloated, farting, mess.

I have now gained almost 8 lbs and I think it is mostly water. My shoes are already too tight. A friend who does not know I am pregnant commented on how swollen my feet were today.

And my abdomen is sore and swollen. How am I going to grow a baby in this space if it is so full of hot air? I have so much gas, I have stopped trying to hold it in or be discreet. In my home, car & office, I am pretty much breaking wind all day long. Talk about "hurricane season"!

I look bloated in the face and I have bags under my eyes. My skin has taken on a weird texture. My hair has gone to crap. I can't get it to style no matter what I try. Just limp.

My breasts hurt so much I can't stand hugging DD. None of my work pants fit me and my shirt all show my disgustingly bloated belly.

So...now I know. It wasn't the complications. It is just me. Just. Me. The big, fat, bloated, farting mess.

:rotflmao:

Congratulations and I'm so sorry for laughing but oh, do I know what you mean!

May it only be a 1st trimester thing. :hug:

Congrats! I totally know what you mean. I definitely never glowed with either DD. Here's hoping it all passes soon.

And to top it all off..my jerk DH refuses to go get cookies and milk and a pre-natal for me. I must be so disgusting he can't even do that for me. It will only be a matter of days before he won't even be able to look at me.

:crying::crying::crying::crying::gloomy: :gloomy:

ETA: he was reading over my shoulder...I had to write it. He didn't believe me that I would. He is getting the milk and cookies now.

I felt much like that, too. FIL was always so kind to say how I was glowing... I never could quite buy it.
PT for it to just be the first trimester!
Enjoy your cookies :)
:hug:

we can all relate! Isn't it fun having your own farts wake you up in the middle of the night? (I'm sure DH's love that!).

I loved being preggo first time around...this time around, not so much.

;)the power of the BBB is amazing!

I am not even pregnant and I have days like that. Yesterday was one of them, I walked around all day wishing I was pregnant (although that is not feasibly possible at all) because that could be a valid excuse as to why I was feeling so fat.

Isn't it insanely hot and humid in NC right now? That could be part of it too. I hate summer time because almost all of my shoes except my running shoes and my flip flops aren't comfortable.
