Still chugging along

Not much new to report. Morning sickness has been easing up a bit, but not enough for my liking. lol Of course, one of the things I hate the most about pregnancy (okay, it's not something I hate the most, I hate everything equally lol) is that the days I don't have morning sickness, I can't enjoy because then I'm just worried about WHY I don't have morning sickness. Ugh, this all just sucks. lol

My pants are getting tighter. How sucky is that? These pants were too big just a few weeks ago. I don't want to have to get bigger clothes, and I'm SO not ready to be in maternity clothes, but this is just getting ridiculous! The baby is about the size of a raspberry right now...it's definitely not making my waist expand. That means I'm just getting fat. That sucks. lol Okay, so it's probably not that, since I'm actually losing weight thanks to morning sickness, but whatever.

I guess I should eventually go see the doctor. There really is no point to early pregnancy appointments. It's not like they do anything until 16 weeks when they can do an ultrasound. Short of bloodwork, which won't tell them anything I don't already know, there's no reason to go in just yet. However, when you don't start going until later, they all tsk tsk at you like you're a bad pregnant person for not going to your prenatal appointments. It's all just stupid. Pregnancy has been WAY over medicaliazed. I'm not sick. I'm pregnant. You can't cure me. At the moment, you can't do anything for my baby should something terrible happen. Even if you do find out there's something terribly wrong with my baby, I'd never abort, so it's not a matter of finding out in time...there's no reason to see a doctor right now other than to avoid the inevitable "tsk tsk" if I don't. Man, I so badly want to see a midwife.
