Just gonna whine a bit...

Ugh.
I'm not really feeling it at the moment. I've got a seriously swollen belly. I'm 9 weeks pregnant and feel colossal. Everything seems to be expanding. My arms are so thick that my t-shirts and cardigans will be tight soon, and I can't even close my trousers anymore. I've gained 1 kilo but it feels like 10!
I don't feel good at all, probably due to the hormones, heartburn, and restless sleep.
Who else experiences this? I feel so silly, but I really need to vent.
The pink cloud is nowhere to be seen at the moment.

    First of all, congratulations!
    You’re allowed to whine a bit, it’s okay. It’s really unpleasant that you’re feeling this way. It’s those annoying hormones.. Is this your first baby?
    I’m 5.5 weeks now and I’m already starting to feel a bit queasy.

    Hi there. Yes, it's my first one. Helps to vent a bit. Is this your first too? I really didn't have any issues for the first 7 weeks. Now on vacation and just feeling sick. Back to work on Monday, really dreading it...

    @hellieberrie cheer up. I lost 6 kilos right before I got pregnant and now I've gained 4 back. At 8 weeks. Hormones, Christmas and New Year's just don't mix. I already don't fit into my jeans anymore. But well. It's for a good cause. I'm trying to really pay attention to what I eat so I don't keep gaining weight at this rate.

    I agree with Muus. Let everything just happen naturally. And keep whining if you want to, it's allowed.
    I'm pregnant with my third, and it's just as exciting as with the first.

    Ooh nice. A whiny group ;P
    I thought I was one of the few haha.
    Here too restless sleep, weird dreams, heartburn (Malox or vanilla pudding helps), pelvic instability.
    And lots of messing around with friends. Yesterday I even said in my emo outburst to my husband I WANT NEW FRIENDS.
    I'm also the only one in the group with a child, and/or pregnant. Now 16 weeks.
    The two friends I shared my previous pregnancy with don't really make an effort to do something.
    And after asking a thousand times if we should do something, I gave up on them.
    Hormones are worse this time
