So Miserable

Pregnancy is making me feel so miserable. Other than my hair that does not hurt, nothing else on me is well. I have
1. headache - cannot sleep properly at night cos have to wake up for toilet, and can't find a comfortable position to sleep.
2. Left leg muscle ache - from an early strain which never completely recover.
3. Right leg calf muscle ache - from leaning over to my right too much to compensate the left leg problem.
4. Backache - tummy getting too big for back to bear.
5. Tummy strain - babies getting bigger. so scare I'll get stretch marks soon.
6. arms ache - using more of my arms to support myself while seated to give my back a break.
7. Fingers swollen - water retention.
8. eye strain - somehow vision getting more blur nowadays. dunno if it's due to lack of sleep, too much TV or some crazy pregnancy hormones.
9. Heartburn and nausea - even drinking water irritates my system and makes me retch. I hate that metallic taste in my mouth.
10. Giddiness - from the slightest hunger. But food makes me sick. And I have problems with food smell in an enclosed area. Smell from my mom's cooking, packet food in the car, food from VJ's bedroom make me sick.
11. Brainlessness: I can't remember what I did/said a minute ago.
12. Fatigue: On a non-working day, I sleep for 14 hrs a day. Rather amazing how much sleep I am getting. Even then, I am still tired.
13. Breathlessness: I become out of breathe so easily. Had to breathe so hard that I seem to be hyperventilating.
And these are physical discomfort only. haven't mention the teaching stress and unfinished marking of scripts. and there is also the demanding daughter, money problems, and unfinished nursery room for the babies.
