Morning Sickness Menace! :''''(

[Mummy Rich]

I posted a week or two ago asking about cures and thank you so much to everyone who replied.

It is really getting me down now though. I cant do this for more weeks I sit there crying wishing to feel better.

I get up I feel sick... now I have started spewing. My body doesnt seem to agree with anything I eat so now I am dehydrated and lethargic.

I have only been like this for 3 weeks but its depressing me. I know other people have worse things to worry about but its controlling my life and I cant enjoy being pregnant... I have (selfish as it sounds) begun to depise being pregnant. This declaratin has led to arguments with my OH as he thinks I dont want a baby anymore. I so do... just want this feeling to be gone.

I've tried.... sickness bands, crackers, sucking boiled sweets, raisins, dry popcorn, eating what i want, eating nothing, eating small bits = failure.

Ive actually swore that because I feel that bad I am only ever having another child thru means of adoption.

Its my birthday a week tuesday and I have even cancelled my plans incase I still feel like this xxxxx

Rant over xxxxxxxxxx

If youre being sick throughout the day, are weeing less, having trouble keeping water down do go and see your GP.
I was exactly like you, I was hating being pregnant, told my OH i didnt want the baby, was getting dehydrated and went ad saw my GP. He gave me same medication and it has helped. Now if Im sick twice in a day thats a really bad day whereas before that was a good day!
Hope you feel better soon

Hey hun,

I honestly feel for you... morning sickness can be horrendous and i have to say my OH didnt really understand how bad i felt everyday, i didnt want to eat or drink anything ... everything i tried made me feel worse. I was throwing up more than i wasnt and in the end i couldnt take it anymore i couldn't even keep down a sip of water my OH took me to A+E and they gave me some anti sickness tablets, since then i've started acupuncture too which helps enormously, its now only on the really bad days do i need to take medication for it anymore. Like you i tried everythig so i didnt feel guilty in the end when i had to tun to medication because i was so sure the way i felt (down, crying, stressed, tired and hungry) was going to be so much worse for the baby!

P.S I actually threw up in tesco's once after drinking a glass of water and thats when my OH realised how bad it had gotten! I was mortified but there was nothing i could do

 

[Mummy Rich]

Thanks girls..

I think I am going to go the doctors on Monday. I am already dreading going into work. Nobody besides my boss knows so it's even harder. I can't muscle up the energy to do anything let alone control and teach a class of 31 children.

I so nearly called in sick yesterday... it was officially the worst day so far... I was soo soo tired and borking water up all day as thats all i could even stomach.

HI there, sorry your feeling poop im not really suffering the sickness that much just bouts of nausea and i find the only thing that helps is little sips of fizzy orange. Have you thought about lucozade if you cant eat or drink much? At least it has something in it which will help keep your energy up a little bit. Take care hun i hope you soon start to feel better xx

 

[nissa]

I have felt exactly the same as you have. I sometimes feel that I can't go on with it all anymore but then I feel guilty because I really want this baby.

I keep saying ' it'll go after the 12 week mark '. Some 'helpfull' people remind me it won't but that is just Not an option!

I don't work but I do homeschool my 7 year old and I feel so bad that her education is suffering because of this. I have tried everything too and things work for a day then stop. The medication stops me actually being sick but I still feel it most of the time. Just keep teling yourself it won't last forever and will be worth it in the end!

Sorry I can't be much help!

Oh you poor thing! I really feel for you.
How many weeks are you now?
Would it help getting your OH a book for men to help him understand a bit better? Can't be easy if you don't have the exact support you need to get you through it. Let us know how you get on after the docs (guess is the only thing left to try other than just waiting).
An an old wives tale is a crap pregnancy means and easier birth - not sure how true it is but let's hope so, so you can rave how easy and good your birth was once it's happened!!
Sending thoughts your way x

Hun, you definately need some of these

I've no miracle cures I'm afraid but just to say your posts are so familiar. I was there just a few weeks ago, feeling everything you are feeling - guilty cause I wasn't excited about being pregnant, feeling so poo I just wanted to curl up in bed all day, trying my hardest to hide it from work (ended up telling my boss who was mega supportive), cancelled going on a family holiday to Portugal

Hard to imagine now, but it WILL pass and you will be so relieved. Mine stopped at about 13wks. What I would suggest is to just go with it, cancel plans, curl up and become a hermit for a few weeks, you will stress yourself out trying to carry on as normal. Get yourself signed off work sick if thats what it takes.

Take care

Gosh hunny it sounds terrible, im really really feeling for you!!

It will get better though! Nothing lasts forever

 

[crackers24]

I was exactly the same in first tri. I hated being pregnant because with the sickness came emotional distress. I was just depressed, hated DH and wanted my mum!

But there is light at the end of the tunnel Trust me you will feel better and when you're in 2nd tri you should be loving your pregnancy. It's often known as the honeymoon period

End of second tri and throughout the thrid tri is when LO will be moving and that's just an amazing feeling.

Please don't despair, things will get much better and you probably wont forget these days of morning sickness but you'll defo disregard them.
Good luck hun! Try and think positive. If you wanna chat just PM me

Well done Fluffy Bunny. Great advice, thats exactly what i did. In bed for 8 weeks watching snooker world championships (BORING)

I know exactly how u feel.

I had moring sickness with both of mine but with Olivia it was horrendous.

I had it from beginning to end i was even being sick through labour, my morning sickness would last throughout the day id sometimes even wake in the night an be sick. It felt like a horrible hangover. I used to dread getting out of bed in the morning cos i knew as soon as i moved i would be running to the toilet, my neighbours even heard me being sick and id be throwing up down the street while doing the school run My poor daughter used to be embarrassed, when we told her i was pregnant again the first thing she said was i hope ur not sick on the way to school again mum

My doc wouldnt give me any tablets but i know there are tablets that you can get. I havent had any sickness yet but im not convinced its not gonna come as i have felt extremely sick the past 2 mornings when i have got up, and ewverytime i eat i feel sick too. Im praying if i do get it, it wont be as bad as last time.

I can honestly say morning sickness is mu worst fear.

I really hope u get it sorted hun, i really feel for you

I don't know if it helps to know you're not alone. I hated being pregnant!
I felt sick until about 18 weeks then I started to get pain in my hips and pelvis. I was exhausted until about week 28 by which time I was signed off work because of the hip and pelvis pain. Towards the end of my pregnancy I was on crutches just to get round the house and I couldn't sleep for more than an hour without waking up in pain.

Don't feel bad about not enjoying your pregnancy - it's not particularly enjoyable! But having a rubbish pregnancy makes it all the better when baby is here. I actually looked forward to labour because it would mean I wasn't pregnant any more!!!!
