does anyone else finally even-out emotionally when they're pregnant? i know a lot of women get really emotional and stuff, but not me. my mom was the same way. it seems to be the only time we're not furious with the world in general for doing and saying such stupid violent things. i have had chronic hypertension my whole life, so i have to be very careful and take it easy. though i'm not on bedrest this time. everything just seems so much easier and more simple, life is diluted to one womb, really, and the care of my immediate family. everyone else can take care of themselves now, i have no business getting worked up about someone else's problems like i usually do. i feel "normal" now. i feel free and grounded.
Heavy congrats to you, it is a time to focus internally and be pampered externally, my aunt was the same way and she was this shining example of happiness everyday even when she would talk about something negative you could see the gleam in her eye and hear and her voice that she was at peace and happy about the world and she exuded light and wisdom and beauty, have lots of pregnant fun, really enjoy it! Oh how far along are you?
Wow KC that's great You had been a bit of wreck over the winter with all the moving around and such. Congratulations
Amazing how all else pales in comparison to knowing you are carrying life inside of you and the joy of knowing that. Congratulations on the new baby that is coming, best wishes to you and your family on this new addition to your home.
KC, it is SO cool that you are more grounded when you are pregnant! It must be great! I know quite a few womyn who feel that way. I am not one of them, I am a nervous wreck the entire time I am pregnant. I have very high risk pregnancies and it keeps in in a state of contant anxiety, my migraines get quite a bit worse, so I am in pain the entire time, and feel bad about having to take medicine to treat the migraines, I also tend to get really rageful when pregnant, I don't tolerate hormonal changes well, so that could be why. I wish I could be more like you. Congrats on your feeling good pregnancy!
Congrats!!! Thats great the all the hormones make you at peace. i'm pregnant and i'm the opposite i'll freak out over anything little right now, my bf actually asked me yesterday if we could have a good day and i could try to lose the additude, i just laughed. BEST OF WISHES!!!!
thanks so much, everyone. i'm only 4 weeks along. it's kinda funny, because for the most part i'm a raging bitch to anyone who comes anywhere near threatening my family or friends. i'm super protective of people i care for, even to the point of sometimes chewing them a new asshole if they're scaring me. but i'm like maggiesugar. my previous pregnancy was very high risk. i get so sick, because i'm hypertensive and have been my whole life. so i really have to concentrate on chilling out. i think, perhaps, that i need to put more attention into doing this after pregnancy, too. i'm going to have a tubal after this one is born, since it's so hard on me, physically. i'm hoping that the raging hormonal swings i have will be somewhat lessened. i can't completely explain how betrayed i feel by my body on a monthly basis. my emotions make no sense whatsoever. it's like i have no control. but for some reason, when i'm pregnant, that all goes away. i always wanted a huge family, but i can't. so i savor my pregnancy. but i'm well on my way to looking like the venus of willendorf. *sigh* unless my docs (i have 3!) decide to put me on blood pressure meds. then i'll be able to continue exercising. i don't think i can deal with the agony of monstrous obesity post pregnancy. lol. wish me luck.
