I was very optimistic about this #pregnancy… 😣 (more in description) #firsttrimester
97I was very optimistic about this pregnancy, being the second time around.
I thought I would be more productive and better at managing my time. It wasn't a pandemic, so I had no additional excuse.
But no, I spent my first 3 months feeling so tired that after a few hours of being awake, I would want to go back to bed.
Then the nausea came, just like last time. I was nauseous 24/7, and the only thing that seemed to help was eating continuously. Needless to say, I've gained more weight than I was hoping for, and even at 14 weeks, I've had to switch to wearing almost all pregnancy clothes.
But I've tried not to be too hard on myself, especially since my anxiety about everything was through the roof. I worried unnecessarily, which hasn't quite gone away (hormones are just wild).
This led me to being an emotional mess, not motivated or able to focus on any task requiring higher thought.
So I ended up binge-watching weird shows on TV and eating a lot of plain bagels, juice, and popsicles.
I put all the projects and videos I wanted to film on hold.
Luckily, this doesn't last forever. While it seems like such a long time in the moment, it's already a distant memory in the past.
So that was my first trimester in a nutshell, how was yours?
