today has been

a good but tiring day.
i feel as tho no matter how much sleep i get,
its never enough. i wake up wanting to crawl in bed even after 9 hours of sleep. yawing all day long. then the fact that i cant stop peeing.
also i ahve been feeling a little off balance. like one said eof me weighs more. ne one else had that at 5 weeks?
well how is everyone elses day been?

Welcome to pregnancy!! Sadly.. it only gets worse from here.

At almost 34 weeks I sleep like 3-4 hours a night because I got a watermelon in my belly and no position is comfortable.   So.. I am tired all day long.

Your peeing a lot already?? That's kinda soon... wait till you have a baby pressing down on it and you feel like your whole bottom is gonna fall out.

Off balance.. yes... I am clumsy.. and I also have lots of memory loss. I think its because i am too tired to care.

Other than that... when you feel your little move for the first time... its all worth it!! Congrats on the pregnancy!

lol thats how I feel... and then when i get down on the toilet... I just sit there and don't want to get up because the pressure of him pressing down is just so bad... luckily I have magazines in there so I just sit and rest until I am ready to endure the pressure and pain of standing up.

Oh... the joys of being pregnant!

i know I just made myself sound really lazy... but I don't care...I am so ready for this to be over!! but I know he has a little more growing to do!

OMG not lazy its sooo true..lol i told my mom, i dont wanna go to the bathroom im to tired to get up lmao i just sit there, which only makes me pee like 3 seperate times, im like whatever, shell shift and ill pee more and until then ill just read something lmao ... thats to funny i thought i was crazy tellin my mom, i cant go to the bathroom im to lazy to get back up lmao now i know im not alone

I peed a lot early in my pregnancy too. Mostly because I didn't used to drink a lot. But I uped my liquids a lot and ended up peeing a lot more.

I still feel tired all the time. The best thing I did for that was take about an hour nap when you get home from work.

As for feeling off balance make sure you get checked for being anemic.
I've been anemic since I was a little kid. While I'm pregnant I have to take to iron pills a day. If I forget I get that off balance feeling. So make sure they check you for that.

My first u/s was like that. I had to drink water...and drink...and drink. And then when I got in there she was pushing down and I really had to pee but she told me that my bladder wasn't full enough and gave me a big glass of water and made me wait. So I drank two more glasses of water, til I felt like I was going to explode. Then she finally called me in and was pushing on my bladder...it took forever the tech couldn't find my right ovary, and she even had to call someone else in to find it..it was awful. lol. I felt like I peed for 10 minutes after that.

That is so weird because my doctor makes you pee in a cup before you do anything so that they can check the Keytones (sp?) or Protein in your urine. They have never told me to come on a full bladder.

only for the ultra sound it helps them see better... im supposed to drink 4 glasses of water before evry ultrasound

I have had three ultrasounds and they have never told me to do that... but I know I read in one of my books thatit helps them see better.

I remember when I went to find out the sex of the baby I drank like two bottle of water right before I went so that they could see really well... but they still had me pee in the cup.

Oh well I guess... when she did the ultrasound that time she pressed so hard I thought my whole uterus was gonna pop... maybe it was because I had emptied my bladder.

lol yea maybe.. i got yelled at for my first ultrasound because i 4got to drink the water... now i measure iit out so i dont gotta hear anything and can just see my baby lol..... i gues it depends on how new your equipment is to... who knows

My Ultrasounds aren't done at my dr's office. They are done at the hospital. So no not really weird.
I pee in a cup everytime I go to the Dr's.
