My husband told me this morning that he thinks many of my pregnany symptoms are all "in my head". And it got me thinking. I really have been sick to my stomach (twice today, in fact). I really have been nauseated. Those are things I cannot deny.
I feel much more tired than I usually am. But on what am I comparing that to? I transferred from nightshift to dayshift and around the same time found out that I was pregnant. So is it my body still adjusting to sleeping change (because I'm certainly not sleeping any better at night) or is my body physically tired from the changes it is going through right now?
I had started reading "What to Expect When You're Expecting" and while it is very informative, maybe my husband is right. Maybe the symptoms being told to me by the book are the ones I'm feeling because I'm looking to have.
On the other hand, Hubby has been looking for symptoms too. He has asked me "Do you still feel pregnant?" I know it's worry that draws us to feel this way.
But all this being said, what do you think is real when it comes to symptoms? Do you notice them more after you look them up and become more aware of them?

I was extremely tired during my 2nd trimester of pregnancy. It had nothing to do with a schedule or job change. It had nothing to do with lack of sleep. It had nothing to do with reading a book. My body was tired from growing a baby. now maybe it has hit you early. It really is physically tiring to grow a life inside of you. Your body will never be the same again.
