Pregnancy Timeline Experience
Posted by Babies - 30/07/10 at 11:07 amI wanted to write briefly about what you should expect when you are pregnant. You go through many different stages along the pregnancy timeline and a lot of these can be tough. I want to give you some reassurances because I am going through the same thing right now.
I found out I was pregnant quite early on in the pregnancy timeline, well before I began to feel pregnant. My partner and I had been trying for a couple of months so I was checking regularly. The early stages are quite daunting and you don’t know how you should be feeling. It is a very worrying time.
I would advise that you go to the doctors as soon as you find out. There isn’t a lot they can tell you but it helps to know that. I didn’t really learn a lot but I was pleased that they booked an appointment with the local midwife. When you do meet the midwife she should put your mind at ease. She went through everything on the pregnancy timeline with me.
Still not feeling pregnant? It won’t take long until you do and then it will hit you all of a sudden. The thing that affected me the most was the tiredness. I was tired around the clock. I struggled to get up in the mornings and when I arrived home from work I was worse than useless around the house. Once I was on the sofa I didn’t want to move.
These weren’t the only pregnancy symptoms I suffered from. Everything smelled stronger and this made me feel sick a lot. It really put me off the flat that I was living in. I also had headaches and other joint aches.
I am now at the point in the pregnancy timeline where I have now passed those problems because I am in my 2nd trimester. I have been told that it gets tougher towards the end but I am ready for that.
