12 Weeks...


Blegh...just when things are supposed starting to get better (theoretically) they actually start to get worse. I have to say, I'm very grateful that things haven't been bad up to this point. I've been tired, but not nauseous, and I had the skin rash but even though the rash is still there, I'm not itching-thanks to the Zrytec.
However, even though I'm still tired but otherwise okay in the mornings, I feel terrible at night. Its the weirdest thing. If I eat ANYTHING after about 3:00 in the afternoon I'm miserable until the next morning. However, if I don't eat anything then I get nauseous because I'm so hungry.
So, if I eat after 3:00, here's what happens. About 30 minutes after eating, my stomach starts to bloat. This doesn't stop until its so distended that I look to be about 6-7 months pregnant. I can't move around...I lie in bed but can't get comfortable and have to deal with shooting pains in my stomach. What the hell is this? Apparently baby doesn't like food (or at least doesn't like any of the food I have so far tried to give him). We have a doctor's appt on 02/18 so we'll see what he has to say about it. Hopefully its easily remedied.
The VERY worst part? I can't seem to stop myself from being angry when I get to feeling this way. Bless Brian's heart, he's been great, but I tend to jump on him. I know I'm being ridiculous, but I can't help it. It hurts and it also affects my breathing. For some reason, I can't catch my breath. I don't know if things are cramping my lungs, or what's happening.
Come on, Doc, hope you know what's wrong...finger crossed...or better yet, hope you can fix it. I've included a picture of my stomach in its distended state. Above is a picture of my stomach in the morning...below is if I eat after 3:00.
