Pregnancy Expectations V Reality

Let’s face it when you find out your pregnant you get this image in your head of how your pregnancy is going to look, and 99% of the time we all picture this so called perfect pregnancy where you have loads of energy, your glowing and basically look like a goddess for the full 9 months.

I was basically bed ridden between the sickness, the fatigue and also struggling with my restless leg syndrome oh and add in at the time i was working 12 hour days as well. Yeah as you can imagine i was a delight to be around those first 12 weeks.

I was diagnosed with Hyperemesis Gravidarum (extreme morning sickness) pretty quickly as i was just not able to keep anything down not even water and i was being sick every 15-30 minutes some days, bloody glamorous eh.
