Pregnancy Is Supposed To Be Glamorous!

At least that's what I thought! So far, it hasn't been glamorous at all. I've actually been quite uncomfortable. This is what I thought pregnancy would be like (bare with me - I know I'm naive): I may have morning sickness, and throw up once in a while, but only until 12 weeks; I would graciously grow a baby bump, with no tugging, RLP, pressure, frequent urination, or constipation; I would get all of my energy back (and then some) once I got to the 2nd trimester; I would also get my sex-drive back in the 2nd trimester (although I have to admit that it's better than it was in the 1st trimester); and I would get tired from just walking a couple of minutes, until I was in my 3rd trimester. So far, all of that has been the opposite of what I thought it would be. Surprise! Don't get me wrong. I love that I'm pregnant and that I have a little human inside of me. I just thought it would be more "glamorous".

I also had a relapse in throwing up this morning. I haven't thrown up since maybe last Friday, so a week and half ago. I guess considering I haven't taken Zofran since Sunday afternoon, that's not too bad. I thought maybe I didn't need it, since I wasn't getting nauseous anymore. Then BAM - it hit me in about a minute. I went from feeling fine and scanning a patient, to (after finishing the patient) having that feeling in my throat, and gagging, and finally throwing up. Ugh - I don't miss that at all. Hopefully it was just a fluke. Just in case it wasn't though, I took a Zofran after throwing up. So far, so good.
