Since pregnancy and giving birth is a once or twice a lifetime thing, I decided my suffering and stretch marks warranted a post. HAHA.
I didn’t have morning sickness, I had heartburn and stretch marks
TV dramas seem to stereotype pregnancy morning sickness to vomiting and refusing some food. I didn’t vomit throughout my whole pregnancy but I had the most awful heartburn, also called acid reflux. I had it 24/7. Awful is too simple a word to describe it.
- I felt that there was something stuck in my throat ALL the time
- I had difficulty breathing when I wear a bra
- I got breathless even when walking extremely slowly
- I had to sleep sitting up
