Well it is official I have entered the second trimester of my pregnancy. It still boggles my mind that I have made it this far and this a learning as I go as well. The mood swings are random at best. I can be happy and fine one minute and angry the next or upset. I feel bad for my husband who gets to the see the brunt of the rapid changes. He is very sweet through the whole thing specially when I have been very sick and very tired. The tiredness still is hanging on pretty hard but it seems like the morning sickness is starting to go away finally. I know I have been told I would just have to accept that I have morning sickness but in my opinion I don’t need to accept it at all. I know I wasn’t worst case at all since it was just dry heaving but still its very hard on the body either way.
So last night I didn’t take my morning sickness pills I normally take at night to help through the next day. Before anybody says anything about self medicating I did ask my pharmacist yesterday if I could start going off them. And thus far in the day I feel good I don’t feel the need to run to the bathroom and potentially pull a muscle dry heaving. Which I am happy about it for sure, but know its my nose I smell so many things know. My husband joked that I became a hound dog since I can smell when bananas are ripe and what not. I find it can be nice having a super nose right know but other times its not so much fun at all. For example we went shopping the other day and I smelled something that made me feel super sick right away. Of course my husband cant smell what I smelled.
I am waiting for a boost of energy I keep hearing about in the second trimester which I hope hits soon. I don’t like feeling so tired even though I slept through the whole night and still need to sleep half the day as well. Know that I am on the mend maybe yoga is the way to go to help with the tiredness. One of my best friends keeps saying exercise helps and I know she is probably right after all. But I was so worried of getting sick while working out I waited until know to make sure I know I’m not going to get sick all over my mate. The thought of it happening has made me laugh even though I know it seems very strange to laugh about.
I hope all of you expecting mamas have a good pregnancy.
