The Truth About My First Trimester

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! We made it through the first trimester!!!!!

 The moment a mother finds out your pregnant, you hear absolutely every gory detail about their own experience. It's so funny because things that you thought were taboo to talk about totally go out the window once you have experienced a pregnancy. I find it hysterical because I am already disgustingly open, and love hearing women who are normally reserved or perfect strangers start talking about vagina's, discharge, boobs, sex, etc.  I have loved hearing details as I have found some of it quite helpful, it also makes me feel like I have joined some sort of elite woman/motherhood club. That being said I would just like to express that every woman is different.

The truth to my first trimester

You are going to LOVE your boobs! - No actually, I loved my boobs. Now they feel like I am going through puberty all over again. They have grown so huge and they are so veiny, they look so ridiculous. I had to go out and buy a whole bunch of large shirts just to fit these monsters. I have to wear a sports bra to bed, otherwise I wake up from sore achey boobs. I have to keep reminding myself, these huge utters are going to be giving a precious angel life. What a gift!!

You won't have a period for a long time!- Well then what is this blood doing on the toilet paper when I wipe. It's not a period, it worse! It's called spotting. Some women get it some women don't. But for us women it does happen to it causes extreme anxiety. You automatically think the worst.....  My doctor said its quite normal, and there is nothing to worry about unless you'er filling pads. I spotted for two weeks and to this day I check the t.p every time I wipe!! Every woman is different.

Guilt free eating for 9 months!- I don't get why they call it morning sickness, it definitely doesn't occur in just the morning. If I wasn't puking I was dry heaving. I also don't have any kind of appetite. The thought of meat makes me cringe.

Your hair will be FABULOUS!-I already suffer from extreme shedding. Now it's way worse! It is coming out in handfuls.

I am already a really emotional person, so I find it hilarious how I am crying during pampers commercials, 649 lotto commercials, for every movie preview that has soft music playing in the back ground, omg and this song I cry my face off everytime, everything really just makes me weep. J & I are actually pretty shocked at how I am not even a little moody. I am the WORST when I am pmsing so we thought I would be the most horrific pregnant women. Nope, I am a saint :p. Of course I have my days, but who doesn't??

It was absolutely amazing when I heard our babies heartbeat for the first time. It makes all of this SO worth it. The womans body is so amazing, I am so proud to be carrying this precious life within me.
