Can anyone identify with me???

Question

There are a lot of people out there including doctors who will not look into my problems because they are blaming "Every" ailment I have on my weight, which I know has a lot to do with some things but gosh they won't even try to figure it to be anything else! So being said all that, I am 18 weeks pregnant and I still feel tired and everything hurts, i mean even when one thing doesn't something else does, i have migraines and so I am very irratable at times, is this weight or pregnancy? And for the mean people out there, pass me by with ugly comments.

Answer 1

some of it is weight and some is pregnancy..mostly the mood swings and headaches. but thats normal...im a lil overwieght myself so i know how you feel..i have pains everywhere all the time..being pregnant doesnt help lol..im not pregnant but u know what i mean..ask the doc for safe pain killers that u can take while  pregnant and if they wont help you go find another doc..cuz the one you have must only be worried about money...tc n good luck

Answer 2

i agree with the first answer.

Answer 3

i know how u feel sometimes when you get preg. your hormones go VERY out of sorts and you can get migranes and moody and aches and extremly tired. so i know how you feel i went through if for 4 months and no it does not always start at the begining of pregnancy sometimes it takes a few weeks for you to start feeling this way, but if you are still worried see another Dr or talk to you obgyn

Body aches can be weight related especially if you have put on a lot of weight in a short ammount of time, your body wont have tiome to build up strength with it, its like throwing on a pack of rocks, not easy. That being said, I am a big woman and have no issues with my pregnancies, but how active are you? How much do you sleep, how hydrated are you and are you eating right? You need to be sure to get your rest, stay active, sometimes inactivity makes you more tired. Eat a healthy diet get all your vitamines and drink lots of water, when the body is not fed properly you can get very fatigued. The migraines are enough to make you feel constantly tired too, its overload for your brain, and often time hormone related, keep up your fluid intake tho. And last but not least, you are growing another human being inside you, its taking everything you got, give yourself a break, and maybe look for a size friendly dr or a midwife. Good luck~

I will blame it on pregnancy.  I mean your body is carrying a human.  That does things to you mentally, physically and hormonally.  Stop trying to look for a specific answer.  You probably won't find it.  With my third child...I was not over weight at all, but couldn't take a flight of stairs without feeling like I needed to lay down.  I do have to say as before that was with my 3rd, with the first 2 I loved!! pregnancy, but was younger and not chasing around 2 more, know what I mean.  Try to enjoy it.  It will be gone before you know it.
