But first things first!
Hey, my name ist Sabrina, I am 28 years old and this is my blog.
And yes, I wasn't online for over a year. But guess what - I had a really turbulent year.
But now I am back and I have a lot to tell.
As you possibly surmise - I AM PREGNANT!
At the moment, I am already 8 month pregnant and my due date is in march.
We are expecting a cute little boy and I can't be happier.
But, of course pregnancy is not always fun. A lot of women giving you the idea of the most perfect time of your life. You are glowing, looking better than ever, and everything is pink and beautiful.
Let me tell you something - it's definitely NOT.
Don't get me wrong. I love, that there is a cute little human growing inside my tummy and I absolutely can't wait to meet this little bundle of love. But i have days, where I just wanna snuggle up in a corner and cry.
Today I wanna tell you things, I personally experience, no one tells you about being pregnant.
Morning Sickness
Let us start from the beginning - Morning sickness. Yes, I was struggling with this. Thankfully, i just felt nauseous, but surprise, it wasn't just in the morning. Why do we call it MORNING sickness, when I felt sick 24/7?? I woke up in the morning, I felt sick and I went to bed sick. I was so annoyed of it. Sometimes, I just wished I would throw up once in the morning and I would be good for the day.
Pain
To be honest, and maybe I was a little naive, I couldn't wait to get pregnant. All I thought about was: YES, 10 month no period cramps anymore. No one told me, that I will struggle with similar pain a lot. In the beginning, on the day I found out, that I am pregnant, I thought I am gonna die. I never had so many cramps. Thankfully it is not that bad anymore, but growing and stretching around the belly is not fun. Lately, I have a lot of pain, when I am walking a lot or I am doing a little bit to much housework. My body is telling me when he has enough and then I take a break.
Cravings
I was expecting a lot of weird cravings like ice cream and pickles or Nutella and Ham, but let me tell you something - I crave for nothing. I don't have this weird appetite and to be honest - I am sooo thankful for it. In the beginning, I loved to et fruits (and I still do - no veggies, just fruits), but I think, it came from my nauseous. There is actually just one thing I can't eat anymore and this is Indian food. I just have to think about it and I start to choke. Fingers crossed that this will change again.
Bleeding gum
Yes - every time I brush my teeth my gum is bleeding. Do I have more to say? It's just really disgusting.
Body temperature
I can tell you, normally I am freezing 90% of the day. I am the first person in my family, who puts on the heater, when it's getting cold outside and I need at least one blanket. Now, all of this changed. Since the winter started, I put on the heater twice - I am a oven and I sweat sooo much.
Where we can just start with the next thing...
Sweating
I was never like a smelly person ( I hope). Pregnancy changed this. I heard this before, but I could never imagine it. The smell of your body is changing during pregnancy, Sometimes I fell like back in puberty, thanks to the hormones. I tried a couple of deodorants during pregnancy and I finally found one, that can handle my sweatiness :D
RLS
...restless leg syndrome. Almost since the beginning of the pregnancy I struggle with this. Its feeling like pins and needles in your legs, that makes you move around aaaaaaall the time. It's quit annoying.
Sleep
...or no sleep. Its funny how everyone is telling you: Sleep as much as you can during your pregnancy, you have so much time. And you will be so thankful after giving birth.
Why is no one telling you: Sleep BEFORE you are getting pregnant. Because for me, I can't sleep anymore. I pee at least 5-6times during the night and if I am not going to toilet I can't find a comfortable position, or the little cupcake in my tummy is moving around. So I tell you Ladies: if you plan to get pregnant, SLEEP BEFORE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!
Mood swings
I am dizzy of it. I can feel happy and good and in the next second I am a completely disaster. I cry, laugh, yell, laugh, cry....100 times a day. I couldn't imagine, that it will be THIS bad. Sorry husband <3
Weird things are coming out of your body
Yes, you are actually leaking...downstairs...I am not saying more.
I bet, that there are a lot more things and I would LOVE to here from you guys, with what you are struggling. Let me now in the comments below.
Please don't get affraid or worried now, bwcause being pregnant is the nost miricale thing I ever experienced and I would not change it for anything in this world. And every woman now, it's just for a couple of months and you create the most beutaiful thing - your little baby.
I hope you enjoyed reading my new blogpost. If yes, feel free to follow me and share.
Lots of love
xx
Sabrina
