This week I will enter into the 12th week of pregnancy (unless you are my husband and then it's going to be the 10th.. but nevermind him) and will have my 12 week appt on Friday, Feb 7th!
So far, I've been feeling really good other than slight food aversions and overwhelming exhaustion... but with both of those it's nothing I can't deal with, just slightly annoying at times. The exhaustion is only slightly worse most days than what I deal with at the end of a typical work day, except that it's ALL day... sometimes it's like this fog that I just can't shake, and other days it's more like I just didn't get enough sleep the night before. I have been combating the exhaustion with mid-day naps (yes, even at work) when I can. The food aversion hasn't as of yet ended in anything other than just a slightly more bloated or overly-full feeling, or just not appetizing to eat - unfortunately it's been with things that I actually like to eat, stuff like steak and chicken are two of the offenders at the moment... this doesn't make the hubby very happy since his fave thing to eat is usually BBQ chicken or Grilled steak... I've also been kinda tapering off of the stuff that is a no-no for a diabetic, not saying I still don't occasionally have a potato or some sour skittles but they aren't something that I eat every day or even every week usually. I've been doing this because to be honest, I'm really scared that at some point the doc is going to tell me that I have gestational diabetes and then my system will go into shell shock over diet changes and I'll never recover - man I made that sound so dramatic! LOL But it really is a concern, just not as dire of one as I paint!
I did have a major panic attack the day that we saw the heartbeat at the 8wk appt and continued to have minor anxiety in the afternoon over the following weeks - but it's been a few days since I've felt the anxiety levels start to rise so maybe that is over for a little while and hopefully it won't resurface with the next appt...
