My pregnancy has been a breeze, so much so that I barely realize I am pregnant most of the time. I have had no morning sickness whatsoever. I have not been all that tired, have continued all of my normal activities, and have enjoyed the experience. I am sure all that will change as I reach the later stages of pregnancy, but I feel lucky to have had it so easy so far ..... if only raising a child would be so easy.
The only pregnancy-related symptom I have had is a rare one. At exactly 12 weeks, I broke out in hives, from head to toe. They went away after a few days, only to reappear a few days later. They came back a third time over the holidays and lasted for about 8 days that time. Right now, they are gone. I was referred to a dermatolgist, who told me that it was most likely a pregnancy-related skin disorder. She told me, "I hope they don't bother you too much because they are likely to be around until delivery - and there is very little I can do for you." Then, she sent me to the drug store to buy all sorts of expensive soaps, creams, and moisturizers. My skin feels great now.
