I LOVE nausea,

fatigue is AWESOME, and constipation ROCKS!  I'm pretty sure most OBGyns don't hear their patients making these exclamations very often.  I too, was one to complain about the many irritating pregnancy symptoms with my first pregnancy.  Again, how my perspective has changed.  

Have you ever considered why these symptoms occur?  There are so many changes going on with our body when we get pregnant.  Our body chemistry changes, our hormones elevate, our blood flow increases, and our body composition starts to change.  All of these things happen to prepare our body for carrying and delivering a baby.  The body literally "knows" what to do!  What a wonderful thing.  To me, my nightly nausea is comforting.  It means my hormones and hcg levels are doing what they are supposed to in order to support my growing baby.  Fatigue means my body is working over time to facilitate the rapid cell division that is taking place, and my uterus is laying the foundation for the structure that will become my baby's lifeblood (ie. the placenta).  Who doesn't love an excuse to nap, anyway?  Constipation, well it's hard to find a plus to that one, but again it is just a (daily) reminder that I am pregnant and my body is following the rules to support this miracle.  

In a way, I like to think of these early symptoms as synonymous with feeling the baby kick towards the end of a pregnancy.  They are helpful (not annoying, remember?) reminders that everything is OK.  So, next time someone asks you how you are feeling?  Perhaps you will think to respond with "fantastic, I'm about to vomit"!
