Yearofhealth2023 I occasionally get morning sickness still at 33 weeks, but it has gotten a WHOLE lot better. I am on medication for it, but I don't take it as often (hardly any now). The beginning of my pregnancy I was losing weight and had to go to E.R. a few times because I was so dehydrated. My second trimester I was battling with a chest infection and had to take antibiotics. Thing is after I finished my course of medication, I ended up getting an Amoxicillin rash. Turns out I'm allergic to Amoxicillin now 🙃 The only thing I had to deal with in my third trimester was mild food poisoning lol. 

Cheesegobbler84 Geez the fatigue in my first trimester was UNREAL! It was hard for me to get out of bed lol. I also had terrible vertigo because I was anemic in the beginning. Actually, the very beginning of my pregnancy they diagnosed me with SCH at 7 weeks and my goodness... the blood... it made me so anxious! The bleeding finally stopped around 12 weeks and the SCH resolved itself. Thank you so much for sharing your experience because now I don't feel so alone in having an iffy pregnancy 😅 It's one of the reasons why I'm on FS again so I can make sure I'm eating enough 🤍 

Meepers the reward will be worth all of it. In the spirit of sharing war stories. I was also anemic, fell down 17 stairs in 2nd trimester and had to see chiropractor for months and was told my child was going go be either hydrocephalic or spins bifida baby. (She’s neither). Also had my car stolen during that time and the daddy and i went our separate ways after first trimester. My mom said, “God wont give you more than you can handle.” But i said, “i think hes busy elsewhere right now.” Turns out, she was right. I had a hellacious pregnancy and had a wonderful baby, toddler, little kid, teenager and now young adult (minus some hairy scary stuff in the middle). It’s all worth it. You are going to be amazed, exhausted, delighted, charmed and so in love with that baby💕
