I’m currently 9 weeks pregnant & my boyfriend has convinced himself that the pain I am feeling isn’t normal because I’m only 9 weeks. He wants me to go to the doctors for them to confirm if what I’m feeling is “normal”. Regardless of if they can confirm it being normal or not I try to tell him it’s my body! I know what I’m feeling and I know it has something to do with the pregnancy. And his reasoning is because he was there for his ex wife’s pregnancy and she didn’t go through this. and I told him I’m not her! My body is different, everybody’s pregnancy is different. (he later found out the child wasn’t his)
He thinks I should be more concerned, but I’m not because I read about this. I read about the symptoms and I also read about other women who experienced the discomfort and the pain like I am. He tells me I need to take a professional’s word for it. I feel like a professional can’t tell me my body is wrong or my pain isn’t normal or real because everybody’s body is different, every women’s pregnancy isn’t that same!
Here are a list of pain and discomfort:
1 Extreme nausea
2 I wake up with a weird dizzy feeling (because I usually drop out of my sleep, and it never bothered me before)
3 Back pain. I am 5’6 and overweight since the pregnancy I have gone from 190 to 235 +.
I have a terribly uncomfortable bed that adds to the pain. I had this bed for about 7-9 years. It’s wore out and the bed frame is broken in the middle, but it still hold my bed up.
4 My stomach feels weird sometimes, it’s not pain, it’s just a weird feeling hard to describe. THIS IS A LITTLE TMI SO SKIP IF YOU’RE EASILY GROSSED OUT (sometimes it feels like I have to go number two, only for nothing to come out, which is a bit discomforting)
5 My whole body hurts sometimes it feels like I’ve been hit by a bus.
Sometimes these things come on all at once and it keeps me in bed all day. I really don’t know how to make him understand it’s a part of pregnancy. I need some advice
