A bitter, pregnant woman lashes out.

Morning sickness, it's not just for the mornings. They may as well call it ALL DAY LONG sickness. Where nothing sounds good, nothing looks good and my husband asking the common question, "what's for supper" may get him a knee in the groin! On the verge of puking all day long (but never actually doing it-cuz I JUST DON'T DO THAT) and bouts of extreme exhaustion throughout the day. Oh the joys of pregnancy! Yes, there are many joys. Mainly at the end when you get to hold your beautiful baby. But when you are only 10 weeks pregnant, that is a distant and fleeting thought. Is this a poor me, post? Why yes it is. Almost every day around our house is a "poor me" day. Cuz when momma aint feeling good, aint no one feeling good!

But really people, as I think about this more and more, it is just plain unfair. Let's recap a pregnancy backwards. And let's not even talk about when you "hold your baby" cuz really once that happens, it's all over and you forget about the horrid pregnancy. We aint anywhere near that point so let's be real. LABOR. Can anything be harder than labor? Crushing blows of a sledgehammer to your mid-section (i.e. contractions) that radiates around your back for hours. If you're really lucky, they hook you to a machine that tells you precisely when the sledgehammer will strike again. That's really a neat technology. Really neat. Tearing and cutting. (I won't go into details but those of you who have experienced this, know what I mean). A room full of people staring at you and all your disgusting glory! And that's just the very, very end of the whole 10 month process of pregnancy.

Don't forget all the other "treats" along the way. Huge, fatness. Waddling. Needing help getting out of bed. Freaking out over "false labor". Heartburn. Pregnancy-induced carpal tunnel syndrome-what? (yes, i had that last time and had to wear a brace on my hand at night). Back-pain. More back pain. Sore boobs. Constant urination. Insomia. Continual weight gain. Clumisiness. Forgetfulness. Leg cramps.Bleeding gums. Rhinitis (stuffy,runny nose).Cramps.Bloating. Excessive salivation. The list could go on and on here.

As if it all wasn't enough. Just tack on anywhere from 7-30 weeks of constant, horrid morning sickness and you have your self a party lasting 10 whole months! Do I sound bitter? I should, because I am. And if this morning sickness isn't gone in a few weeks, like it is for SOME people, I will be one huffy momma! I apologize in advance to my dear husband who bears the brunt of this burden on the homefront. Hang in there, honey.
