Where is my bloom?

[blushing]

I am 16 weeks tomorrow. When do I get to bloom/glow/feel normal again?

I am not throwing up anymore or feeling sick! Yay! But I am so, so tired. It is a mission to do anything and my SPD has set in already. It started last week and I am waddling already. When I see my midwife next week I am going to ask her to refer me to the physio. (I had SPD in my first pregnancy too). It hurts to walk, it hurts to sit and it hurts to lie down. I am convinced that my husband is punching me in the crotch at night when I am sleeping, except that I am struggling to sleep because it hurts. It's affecting my poor husband too because I keep moving. And itching (normal pregnancy skin stretching itching, not the liver thing itching). And today my boobs are hurting again. Oh yes, and for the last 2 weeks there is already colostrum so I need to break out the breastpads soon... I still have another 24 weeks of this. 

So tell again, when will I glow?

Oh, and I have had to go and buy extra strength antiperspirant because I was sweating and stinking through my Mitchum antiperspirant.

I had a little bit of a rough transition into second trimester and am only just now settling in. It wasn't as bad as first tri but it wasn't as blissful as I thought it would be. My husband kept saying this is supposed to be the good part of pregnancy! I have finally gotten to a better place in terms of pain/itching/stretching ect. I do yoga every morning which is helping with my constant back pain. I hope you find some relief too.

AND WTF is up with the sweating!?!? I hate it.

Hang in there! Supposedly things are supposed to even out after 16 weeks cuz the placenta is big and established by then.
