Ok, so... I'm 9 weeks with my first (DH's 2nd) and although I seem to be improving, I was sick as a dog and really struggling with intense fatigue and insomnia (fun combo). Now, we were actively ttc for a couple of months before I fell (all hail the ovulation monitor), so I am absolutely OVER the moon to be up the duff!!... BUT that doesn't mean I'm enjoying the crappy side effects that come along with the early days. We have chosen to keep it a bit of a secret until our first scan so the only people we have told is family. Now, they love asking me how I am (which is nice) but when I answer honestly (DH's mom is the worst!) they look at me like a silly child, put on a fake smile and say things like "oh but it's a small price to pay" or "all for a good cause!". Are you flipping serious??? Next time you have food poisoning, after not having slept for 3 weeks, let me remind you how lucky you are to have a toilet and a bed! Not a perfect comparison, I know, but still. I find it so infuriating! I know I'm blessed, in general I'm ecstatic, but right at that moment, I'm sick, beyond tired, stressed out, sensitive and I want you to feel sorry for me... Not tell me how good I've actually got it. Sorry rant over.
