I need some advise and support on how to deal with this issue.
I am pregnant - found out on Christmas day. I'm not sure how far along I am...but I am suspecting at least 6 weeks, and I won't know until I get an ultrasound at the end of the month. Regardless, the pregnancy symptoms hit me HARD! I think i've gone up at least a pant size...I now have a bulging tummy (something I've never had in my entire life) and my boobs have gone up 3 cup sizes...needless to say i feel FAT! And I AM fat. Personally I am okay with it. I'd rather deal with the weight loss after. I'm used to dieting...done it all my life!
So, trying to be proactive, the other day I tried to get a little work out done - started with house cleaning and some snow shovelling. By the time I was done with that, I was SOOOO EXHAUSTED!! I can barely breathe when I go up stairs...standing for more than 5 min makes me dizzy. I am usually an active person. The only difference since the symptoms kicked in, is that I got SUPER lazy and quit drinking and smoking. I was told I have slight anemia and high blood pressure last physical i had...but I haven't checked on that status since...that was about 8 yrs ago! lol. So after the slight "work out", I started cramping and bleeding...
Long story short...I feel horrible and heavy, but I have managed to not "worry" about it. Couple that with the fact that I don't feel it's safe for me to work out until i see a doctor...or I truly believe I will lose this baby...I have a boyfriend that is only concerned about my increase in weight gain! This is an already sensitive issue with me...especially psychologically...but I have managed to not have it at the forefront of my mind and think about the babies health first. Why is this man trying to break me??? However he manages to worry when I bleed or run out of breath, yet he can't understand my weight gain. I haven't told him the extent of what his words or opinion can do to me. For now I just take his funny little comments and try to bury them away...but this won't last for long! My hormones haven't even kicked in yet!
What do i do?
