I am having a really hard time this pregnancy. I think that I maybe have something wrong, or maybe I'm just out of shape. Don't rule out crazy. Every symptom I have is so extremely exaggerated compared to my previous pregnancies. I know I have never been this bad before. I remember thinking how lucky I was.
I get dizzy through out the afternoon and into the evening. Every day. I think its either blood pressure or blood sugar, but I don't think I am treating it appropriately. I am tired. So tired. I often feel like I only have one foot in reality. I am emotional, like crying during a Buffy episode that I have seen 5 million times type emotional. (It was The Prom, not one I would normally get weepy over. In case you were curious) I get too hungry, and not much time passes, but the thought of eating grosses me out. I can't even read the what are you craving thread, it makes my stomach turn. Then when I do eat, I get a nice mixture of nausea, heart burn, and over the top gas. I threw up in my mouth last night. I never vomit. Maybe two or three times in my whole life. (although that I am blaming on karma because I posted in the severe morning sickness thread) I had saliva so bad the other day that I accidentally gargled. So gross. I feel like I am really hung over, or about to get the flu, but its been weeks. I even had swollen feet tonight. Marks from my birks. I am only 6wks, 3days. Way too early for me to swell, right? I am a mess.
To top off my super swell disposition, I had an early ultra sound to confirm an in uterine pregnancy. We were able to see that the pregnancy had implanted, but nothing else. I was 6 weeks exactly, the sac (is that the right word) was measuring 7 weeks, but we didn't even see a fetal pole. I know that 6 weeks can be too early, but darn it. Why would I be measuring a week ahead, and not have anything inside? Is it because I am overweight? (60 lbs, I think) The tech said she saw a "flicker" but I have no clue what that means. And if this pregnancy isn't progressing then why the H*** would I be having such horrible symptoms?
GRRRRRR. Sorry to bring anyone down. I am so not normally like this. I don't even like being around me right now. I want out of my skin, and away from my bad attitude.
Thanks to anyone who got all the way to the end.

, if you're already feeling this crappy then everything else will be just a matter of degree and you'll take it all in stride. Chin up, sweety. Mama always said there'd be days like these. 
I am only 4 weeks yesterday and I am bloated, crampy, gassy, and bitchy as can be. I have zits like a 15 year old. Oh, I also get the dizzy spells. I hate that symptom!

But I am managing to behave (mostly 
). 
So tired and so moody. Feel more tired now than I remember feeling before.
Thanks for sharing.
