new symptom

a few days ago i noticed that when i got up from a laying or sitting position that i would almost feel like i would faint.. i could feel alllll the blood rushing back into my head and for a brief moment not see anything. well, today i was dizzy alllllllllllll day, even if i was just sitting here at the computer like i am now. 

 my doctor told me this day would be coming. i just didn't know it would feel like this.. i have a blood pressure monitor and checked it throughout the day and averaged around 81/46.. that explains why i am so dizzy.. right now, i am not so bad.. i just checked it a few mins ago and i am now at 90/63.. so obviously it doesn't take much for me to feel it. it has to do with the increasing amount of blood i have now. did you know your blood increases up to 40% when you are pregnant? THAT IS A LOT OF BLOOD!  no wonder pregnant people bruise easily. or need so much iron. [btw.. i have this huge ass bruise on my lower leg that i have no idea how it got there] anyway. that is my new pregnancy symptom.

 i have not had the pleasure of meeting morning sickness.. though there have been and increasing amount of instances [especially the last few days] where i had a brief feeling of carsickness after eating something. so who knows.. all i know is that my food aversions for the most part are GONE! yay. and somehow i have lost more weight.. no idea how.. but i did.. yay i guess lol.. i still have a pudgy ol' belly... i will be huge in no time no doubt.
