- NAUSEA - throughout the day with very little actual vomiting (in fact up until now i've only hurled less than 5 times). also, with the nausea comes gripping hunger pangs - at the same time!
- HEADACHES - comes and goes. can be very crippling and constant on some days. it's almost as if this whole slab of concrete is resting on my head the whole time.
- SWELLING / PUFFINESS - started really early. i stopped wearing my wedding ring probably during my 6th week. all this water retention is sooo not on. p has even nicknamed me "e no-neck". so you can see how bad it is. just a little note: i swell up every time before my period too.
- TIREDNESS - have to get an afternoon nap everyday. can not go without one.
- CRAVINGS - meat, meat and more meat! also ribena non-stop.
- HEIGHTENED SENSE OF SMELL - am like a basset hound now. can not tolerate b's smell at all. he always, always has to shower when he comes back and before coming near me.
- STUFFED NOSE - i know this is a little known effect of pregnancy but this is true for me. my nose is always blocked.
- EXCESS SALIVA - also a little known effect but i do not suffer from this (unless i have been spitting on people when i talk which i don't know about! have i?!)
- BACKACHES - i suffer from my neck, shoulders all the way down to my lower back.
- LUSCIOUS HAIR & NAILS - my hair has always been thick so i can't tell. one thing i do know though is that i have to wash my hair everyday. it gets greasier faster than normal. i do notice my nails though and yes they grow faster.
so, there it is! i will update this list as i progress if there are any new ones ; )
