SICK AND VERY TIRED!

[MissThing]

Hello ladies! I am on my 8th week of pregnancy and I have been constantly sick for more then 2 weeks!And, what makes it worse, that i have to finish my studies, and had to be all these 2 weeks separate from my husband (he has to work and I am in the other country)! I am getting sick even from the smell of food. And if I manage to eat something, it is very difficult to keep it down! And if I am not sick, I am getting a TERRIBLE heartburn (sometimes both things same time!)! I am very tired physically and emotionally...It is our first baby, and I really need my husband's support now, but the only support he can give me at the moment, is few calls a day!My mum is with me and she is brilliant, but I am feeling, that my husband is the one, who have to be with me, even if I knew when I was planning my pregnancy, that 6th-10th week I will be away!But all that sickness and tiredness and heartburn is just killing me!
Well, I suppose, I just had to tell about it to somebody...

sorry your feeling so awful - it does get better - honest!!
I was a bit of a wreck through the first 12 weeks, until the scan confirmed everything was ok. I wasn't prepared for the tiredness at all.
I found ice cream was good for heartburn (unfortunatley this hasn't gone yet so I don't think it is going to) and just getting as much rest as possible. The sea bands seem to be getting good reviews for sickness - might be worth a try? Also, I just ate mainly bread and potatoes cause I couldn't stand the smell of cooking.
Hang in there - everyone is here to help.

Sorry to hear that you're having a bad time of it Try the seabands and just think you'll be back with hubbie soon

Thank you for kind words The only thing, which keeps me going, is knowledge, that it all will be over soon. And there will be a little angel in the end
