My Pregnancy Journey
As I mentioned in my previous blog I am always, and I mean always nauseas. So, it was nothing new to me. But the level of nauseousness I had during my pregnancy was so intense! The only thing that helped were some chewables I got at Clarks. I was so excited to see what cravings I would have; would they be normal or weird. Come to find out I would not have any cravings throughout my whole pregnancy. I hardly ate and ended up losing a lot of weight to the point where I looked sucked up. I hated talking to people about how I felt because everyone around me never experienced pregnancy the way I did. I felt alone and misunderstood. I had crazy random nose bleeds; I would get dizzy standing I couldn’t even shower alone of how bad I felt! Every time I would shower, I would want to just fall or pass out. My hair was falling out, I lost a whole fingernail, and I even lost my toenail twice of how fragile I was. At this point I was freaked out I didn’t know what was happening. I ended up having really bad anemia which explains everything. I was 8 months pregnant, and you could hardly even tell I was! I was definitely tired all the time and the last month was hard. I was so ready to give birth! I was told I would be due on a certain date, but the baby said nope I’m not done cooking. We ended up getting a date to get induced which was at the 40-week mark. We ended up having a scare the week before. The baby wasn’t moving no matter what I did so we ended up going to the hospital just to be safe and thankfully the baby was good! Fast forward I was really disappointed on how my water didn’t break, I didn’t feel any contractions, or dilate. We were so ready for a movie moment of me calling my man and being like its time! We went over so many scenarios on what could happen but nope nothing happened until the day I was going to get induced.
