Early pregnancy joys

Hi all, so it's not been long since I found out I was pregnant and so far at just 8 weeks I'm surprised at just how different I feel to my first pregnancy.

Nausea and tiredness is a vicious circle and sometimes I'm glad to go to sleep at night to escape it 😆!!! I also can't believe how bloated I am, I've got a proper rounded belly which I'm having trouble hiding with my current wardrobe, I'm sure my work colleagues think I ate too many pies at Christmas.

So apart from the nausea, tiredness, trying to eat whatever doesn't make me feel sick, my house looks a tip, my husband is wondering where his wife has gone and my 2yr old is watching too much TV I'm doing just great!!!

Above all I still feel very lucky to becoming a mummy again but this 2nd pregnancy thing is a whole different ball game!!!!! Hope all you mummy's, daddy's and babies are all doing well xxx

Aww, so sorry to hear you are having a rough time of it this time around. It must really be tough for you especially with a 2yr old to look after as well! Afraid I can't give any advice as I'm one of those irritating women who's having a fairly easy pregnancy. I really hope it tails off for you soon! Take care you xxx

Dublin77 - Sorry but this made me giggle! I am in the early stages of pregnancy too (second baby also) and feel exactly the same! I have gained so much weight and I don't think I am eating loads. I am only 11 weeks and I don't fit in to most of my clothes already. The tiredness is so much worse this time around! I am happy to hear I am not the only one. Feeling your pain but all worth it in the end

Thanks Becks734, I'll be so relieved to finally tell people, it's quite tricky and stressful hiding symptoms and try to hide a bloated tummy when all you want to do is lie down 😆!! Exciting times coming up for you - 20 week scan soon, finding out the gender?xx
