Week 10: Vomitting is not fun!

What's all this crap about pregnancy making you feel all glowing and healthy? At the moment, between  puking my stomach contents up and feeling so tired that I fall asleep as soon as I sit down on the train home, I've got no time to glow.

I knew this first few weeks would be hell, but didn't really realise just how bad it would be. After years of pushing my body to the limit (whether that was too much partying, too much work or too much bad food!), I'm now having to listen to it. What?! It's obviously a taste of things to come in my new life - the nublet (as it will henceforth be called due to its nubbs for fingers) is going to take control of everything! I hate the fact that I'm too tired to go to the gym, or too sick to stay up and watch TV - thank goodness my fave show Gossip Girl is on at 8pm.

I also hate the fact that whatever I do, I'm going to get fat! It's such a strange feeling after years of eating healthily and exercising in order to ensure I stayed slim. If I was feeling better, I'd say to hell with it and stuff my face with cake but the thought of that... actually I can't think about it, otherwise I'll be paying an urgent visit to the work bathroom!

It doesn't help that all the pregnant celebs you see look blummin fantastic. Take ole Christina Aguilera who posed in her birthday suit for Marie Claire and still looked sexy. I feel as sexy as a dirty old sock.

I know they must have their off days, where they hide behind their high gated walls, but why can't they look a bit more normal? I can't remember seeing Claudia Schiffer looking anything other than blummin radiant when she was pregnant! And Kate Hudson may have piled the pounds on but she looked stylish and a normal healthy colour the entire time!

Perhaps I should go into hibernation until this first trimester is up?! Any suggestions on how to deal with vomiting-work-life balance would be greatly appreciated!
