Pregnancy Fatigue

Late period & reflections of being pregnant the first time around

Last November 17th, I could be found in my bathroom bawling my eyes out. I remember it all perfectly: I had a feeling that I was pregnant, but I was making deals with God to let it not be true. My husband was out, at Barnes & Noble I think, and I decided that it was time to face my fears.

I went into my bathroom with a pregnancy test. I was nervous as hell & prayed that the infamous plus sign would not show up. As soon as I was finished peeing on the stick I saw the plus sign.

I was pregnant.

9 months pregnant belly 37 weeks pregnant and reminiscing… Prior to actually being pregnant, there were a few things that I associated with those particular 9 months. I thought of the pregnancy glow, pregnancy hair, morning sickness, desserts, getting some special attention (not gonna lie), Mexican food (seriously yum), gaining pregnancy weight, pregnancy fatigue, swollen pregnancy feet and hands, stretch marks, big boobs, pregnancy sex, and nesting.

What’s your favorite part of pregnancy?

What's your favorite part of pregnancy? Today I’ve just been thinking how I don’t mind being pregnant as much as I did when I was having migraines, morning sickness, and fatigue to the point where I didn’t want to get off the couch. This is definitely my favorite part of pregnancy so far… and I do hope that it will only continue to get better in the next few weeks.

I agree with the people who told me that the second trimester was the best part because it truly has been. It’s sort of getting a bit awkward since my belly is getting bigger, but that’s really the only “negative” thing and it’s not really negative at all.

I love, love, love having a more defined bump. I welcome my belly to keep on growing! I just wish that it wasn’t so awkward when I try to sleep, but that, I can deal with.

So I’m just curious, what is your favorite part of pregnancy thus far? Or if you are a reader who already has had your baby, what did you like most about being pregnant?

11-weeks-pregnant-fatigue The pregnancy fatigue started around week 6 of being pregnant and is still going strong now that I’m 11 weeks pregnant. It’s a different pregnancy fatigue than before though. It’s really settled in to the point where I need a nap during the day now.
