Anyone out there still feel nauseous in the 2nd trimester?
OK, is there any one out there who is on the 4th month but still experiences nausea which they say usually disappears after the 1st trimester? Plus, now the joint and muscle aches have kicked in? I know I should be glad that my pregnancy is normal, but this nagging nausea is in the background ALL DAY, and commuting to and back from work is so hard, and I don't have energy to do anything.
Also feel a bit guilty because I don't even have energy to feel excited about it. When people heard about the news they usually lit up and asked me "aren't you excited?" Well, I am not. I am tired of feeling sick, and I am not even 4 months pregnant yet!!
Feel like people who are closest to me can't really understand me now. They want you to say "great" when they ask how you are feeling, and genuinely worry when you tell them the truth. One close (single with no child) friend even told me to "enjoy it" when I told the symptoms I am suffering, the other tried to get me to soldier on until I started gagging....
It is indeed a time for reflection. Never thought pregnancy would be like this. I understand now why ill people become depressed, and I have a new found respect for mothers, women and really female animals even!
Hope your pregnancy is going better!
