Body hates me right now.... Lol

[Cassiem]

I feel like my body's falling apart... I'm 19+5 and 38 yrs old. I have been bleeding since week 11 from a tear next to the cervix...and I'm not talking spotting.... Gushing blood about every two weeks then a heavy bleed nonstop. Baby is good and not affected as of right now... So I have to wear PADS everyday and I'm not talking thin ones which causes me irritation on my bottom (never been a pad wearer)... On heavy bleeding days I primarily go to bathroom and sit just to let blood flow... SO Thats an hourly emotional roller coaster ride every bathroom visit..

THEN I started getting numbness in my right hand which wakes me up EVERY NIGHT at 5 times a night... So hear somes the Carpal Tunnel... And a WRIST BRACE...

Feet started looking puffy couple of days ago and started just plain HURTING so here comes the tennis shoes to work which look so tacky...

This morning I woke up to back hurting... Now heating pad is my best friend.... AND IM ONLY HALF WAY DONE!!!!

How can anybody feel good about themself with a BOAT between her legs irritating her vajaja, wrist brace on her arm ALL THE TIME, feet that r destine to look like FLINTSTONE feet, and heating pad attached to the body!!!!

On a good note.... My baby girl is healthy and growing..... Monday i go for my 20 week scan.....

I think I'm just too old!!!

You poor thing! I feel for you. I'm the same age and I feel the same way as you. Different symptoms, but still...I was in good shape before getting pg!

But I ended up having such terrible migraines and ms, I had to take a two month leave from work. I still feel exhausted every day no matter how much rest I get. I gained weight even though I was eating much less than I normally did.

And everything is achey, especially my back. The uterus stretching is painful and my feet and calves get swollen even when I'm not even on my feet most of the day. I also have carpal tunnel issues in my right wrist and elbow. (Let's not even talk about the hemorrhoids and constipation.)

None of this was a problem in my previous pregnancies, when I was much younger, to the extent it is now. I'm also afraid about how much worse it can get. Starting to see spider veins on the legs, and just dreading the day I'll start to get the charley horses at night. Not to mention how big I'll get considering my abdominal muscles can't be as elastic anymore!!

Yeah, so a healthy baby counts for a lot, but I think it's perfectly okay to vent about how crummy this pg thing can be too!
