I admit, this will be nothing more than a bunch of whining.

I've been up since 1:30 this morning. Pretty much up every hour peeing, would FINALLY get comfortable after tons of tossing and turning, just to have to get up and pee again and do it all over again.

And then I feel totally overwhelmed about my diet. I had posted earlier in the week that my midwife said I gained too much weight this last month (which I did) and need to slow down and my iron is low. I was trying to do better since the appt, but I blew it yesterday- I was craving a steak and since my iron is low went ahead and gave in (good for iron, not so good for weight gain). But then was soooo tired this morning, I could not get out of bed to go for my walk and ate a HUGE fast food breakfast. Got to work and one of the docs had brought chocolate chip cookies from his wife- and she makes the BEST cookies. So I've already eaten about 6 of those. My muscles all hurt, I'm exhausted, and having a ton of BH- so all I want to do is feed myself for some energy. Which then makes me mad because I'm just going to pack on more weight, which won't help

And my pants won't stay up and I don't own a belt that will fit. And I just want to be like my 2-year-old and throw a temper tantrum right now

Try not to worry about it all too much! So you've had some stuff that you feel you shouldn't have, they all had good points. Firstly the iron, secondly the happiness you get from the cookies will be shared with your baby and thirdly, you had breakfast...better than not having breakfast at all I'm sure.

I haven't even been weighed since 10 or so weeks. They don't place that much importance on it over here I don't think.

You're allowed to have a temper tantrum every now and then! Its perfectly natural.

I hope you feel better soon hun. Put your feet up today and take it easy.

Hope your day gets better. I wouldn't worry too much about the cookies tbh, I mean you're pregnant after all! Just make sure to try to mix some healthy stuff in there with the bad

Okay...that made me smile- everything has a silver lining, ey?

Don't you just hate how much emphasis they put on weight in the US? We're pregnant! We are going to gain weight! Oh, how I wish I hadn't been weighed every single visit! I don't even want to know but they sure do like to tell me every time. Don't let it get you down, sweetie.
