Today is my six week update! Yea. For some reason, counting weeks now seems to go by soooo much slower. I'm not a fan. But at least now I have five weeks left until I can see a doctor. I wish I could see one much sooner then 11 weeks, but hopefully the time flies by.
Anyway, so for six weeks, this is what it says:
So things seem to be going as normal as they can I guess. I'm still in so much pain, it's unbearable still at times. All the cramps I keep having making me want to punch things. I can't wait til they go away. I can't remember when this feeling stopped when I was pregnant with my daughter. I think by the second trimester they let up and then hit full blown again during the third.
But there is never a minute where I am not in pain. I've been now in pain for two weeks and it sucks. It never really lets up. It just constantly stays there. Sometimes I can't move other times I can just deal with it. Ugh, this is the part of pregnancy I don't like.
I haven't experienced any morning sickness just yet. Only get nauseous when I'm having pain from the cramps. I have gotten energy back. I'm not tired like I was two weeks ago. I'm so glad that has gone away. But man, do I ever have to go to the bathroom. Even when I haven't had anything to drink, I still have to pee a lot.
Here is my bump photo for six weeks:
If you compare this to last week's photo, you can see I have shrunk a lot. I think I was so completely bloated last week, everything felt tight and big. Now I don't feel as huge as I did in my photo at five weeks. I think my body is shifting. I also have lost three pounds since getting pregnant which I don't mind because I'll be gaining it all on soon enough.
So hopefully by next week I have some better news and feel less discomfort to share. I'm crossing my fingers that this crappy pain goes away. That's pretty much my only complaint so far. Everything else is going ok as far as I can tell. So we have eight months left to go. In case you missed it in my last updates, my due date is November 15th. It will have cooled off a little by then so that should be nice for a fall baby.
Hopefully those symptoms go away soon Rebecca, they don't sound pleasant one bit. Here's hoping for better news next week.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Me too. These cramps feel like you are giving birth which I already know is the worst experience feeling in the world. So it has been a bit miserable. I hope they start calming down. It mostly happens when I'm sitting too long or sleeping. Then they start acting up bad.
DeleteAHHH!!!! How in the world did I miss the announcement that you are preggo?! I'm so OVER THE MOON excited for you guys!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope time starts to speed up and that those less than fun symptoms go away soon! Glad everything seems to be going well!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I do too. The cramping is the worst. I hated it with my first pregnancy and sure hate it with this one. I'm hoping that it stops soon enough
DeleteI hope you feel better soon!! Those symptoms sound awful. :(
ReplyDeleteOh they are. And thank you. I hope to start feeling better too. It feels as though I'm in labor and of course, that is not a fun feeling at all. It is awful but everything seems to be going ok so if I could just get that pain to slow down, I'd be a bit happier. The husband calls me the angry pregnant lady LOL I'm so mean now but I can't help it
DeleteCongratulations!!! I'm due August 23 - be thankful you won't be the size of a house in the summer sun! :)
ReplyDeleteOh August baby!!! Love it. Congrats to you as well!!!! That is exciting. And yes, I won't be so huge during the summer so that is pretty nice. Although here November is still considered summer. But hang in there girl! Do you know what you are having or going to find out?
DeleteCongrats! I do hope the pain symptoms go away soon, glad to hear you have more energy. My youngest is six, been awhile for me since I was pregnant. New follower from the hop http://acostaeveli.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteThank you. It has been a while for me as well. My daughter will be turning six in October so looking up baby things, so many new things have come out or changed. But its so much fun to do it all over again. Minus the miserable pains, the blood work, the tests, and the labor/delivery. But we have been wanting another kid for a long time so I think I can manage through it one last time :)
Deletecongrats! Novemeber is a great month to have a baby!
ReplyDeleteJust found you on a blog hop! Congrats on being 6 weeks! We just had our first on Valentine's day and that's pretty much what I blog about. :) So happy to be following your blog now!
