Isn't the sick part usually kept to the early pregnancy and in the morning, then you're just scooting along having to pee more?

(keeping in mind my only experience with pregnancy is watching my mom, and she's had five of them, so it's pretty routine for her)

It's normal, and as long as I'm not losing weight the doc won't do anything. I just hate that all the writings online in regards to the subject are "WOMEN FEEL WONDERFUL". Fuck that, no I don't.

How women feel is varied. Some women don't get sick at all. My cousin was sick for her whole pregnancy and lost weight (there's an illness that causes that) while retaining water (she also had gestational diabetes). I'm just tired of being told "oh you'll feel good soon!" when not much change is happening. As long as I puke (and it's not mornings, it's random), I'm not better.
