Four weeks, three days pregnant
Um, woah. Pregnancy symptoms have set in EARLY, guys. This is what I’ve been experiencing for the past WEEK!
- Nausea with a capital N. Last time around, I didn’t start feeling sick until five weeks. This time? I felt have so sick on a daily basis from BEFORE the three-week mark. I never would have tested at the 3wk3day mark unless I was pretty positive, and I was. There was no way I felt THAT nauseated and wasn’t knocked up.
- Pregnancy brain is also back with a veangeance. I am constantly saying the wrong thing (I’d probably type the wrong thing, too, if I wasn’t such an editor by trade) and forgetting words. I’m forgetting things. I’m going to the wrong cupboards. I’m DUMB AGAIN, GUYS!
- I have actually had heartburn a couple of times already! I never get heartburn when I’m not preggo, but I still wasn’t expecting it quite this early. I’m holding off on getting a prescription for Ranitidine at this point, but that’s really because I, uh, forgot to ask the doctor for one. See above.
- I’m alll puffy/bloated with that annoying pants-cutting-into-me feeling. If last time is any indication, I seem to just be the chick who has major bloating in the beginning, and then it transitions into actual baby belly.
- My dog nose has returned. I almost throw up when I open my mom’s dishwasher and there are dirty cat dishes inside. The stench is repulsive! It’s actually commercial canned cat food, but OMIGOD does it stink like rotting fish!
