All Day Sickness

For those that don't know I am pregnant.

If you have seen this movie. I feel just like Elizabeth Banks (taken from "What to Expect When You're Expecting")

And you know what, it's all a giant consipiracy by all the women that you know who already have kids. They tell you its great and I know that it's different for everyone but no one tells you about the downsides of pregnancy.  And as for upsides, well I haven't seen any yet.

Once you are already knocked up (and there is no turning back) I guess you graduate to the Mum club and the horrible horrible truth comes out. When I asked Big J why she didn't tell me about all these terrible things she blatantly said, "Because I want to have grandchildren and if I told you the truth you may not have given them to me.". So maybe it's all part of an evolutionary protection device by women so that we can continue to procreate and populate the world with snotty nosed sprogs.

Ok, so it's not all doom and gloom and I'll get one of those snotty things to call my very own at the end of it. But basically it feels like you are constantly hungover. And I'm talking about constantly. But you don't get any of the fun drunken times with your mates beforehand.

I swore to myself that I would never do that to my body ever again since I left university and realised that life is alot easier to deal with when your not constantly in a alcohol induced second day haze. Then BAM, up the duff, at work and pretending that there is nothing wrong with me, whilst just looking at someone's face makes me want to leap for the nearest rubbish bin.

Im at 15 weeks now and it should start to get better. I freaking hope it does,unless I'm one of those unlucky women that gets it the whole way through. How they could ever have children again I have no idea...
