Sick as a dog and losing weight

[Daydreaming]

Hi guys,

Anyone else sneaking to the work loos to have a session with their head down the toilet seat? Anyone else have a complete lose of appetite?

I've lost nearly half a stone! That was not what I expected to happen when I got preggers. I mentioned it to my midwife who said it's all normal, but Bloooooooooming heck! My poor hubs must miss his upbeat, perky wife. For 2 weeks I have felt shattered and icky - going to work everyday is so difficult!

Good thing about it is I am catching up on a lot of Disney films in the evening!

I just have to laugh at the ridiculousness of it all.

i was the exact same unfortunatly it carried on until last week for me so about the 12th week, only now am i starting to feel a little better, but hay a few more weeks and youll be back to normal. just take advantage of the fact that you can relax take it easy and your OH can look after you xxx

i have utter sympathy for both of you, with my daughter i was sick for 16 weeks and with my son almost 30 weeks.

if you go to boots or somewhere like that and get the travel sickness bands they do take the edge off but you must make sure to follow the directions properl for it to work, also you can request some anti-sicknes tablets, which is what i did as with loosing so much weight i had no energy to look after my eldest.

I am so so sick too. Lost around 1 1/2 stone so far and still being sick and unable to eat. doctor has signed me off work for another month, and already had just over 3 weeks off. Hate feeling so sick and hoping it eases off soon. So I understand ompletely how draining it is, let's hope it eases up by 12 weeks for us both xxx

hey girls just wana say it does stop soon!! i was really bad with sickness and nausea up until i was 14 weeks but i found keeping dried fruit or a pack of biscuits beside my bed for when i woke up in the morning seemed to settle it down, i still get it now occassionally if i dont eat but it soon goes away! just dont stop eating because it makes you feel worse! all the best xxx

Thanks ladies.

Winnie - I keep trying to eat but the thought of most things makes me yucky, I thought I was meant to get awesome cravings - but instead I just settle for things that don't make me puke. The beautiful process of being pregnant eh! Glad it finished for you at 14 weeks, hopefully Kanga and I will fall into the same category.

Kanga - wowzer, that is a long time off work, but I can completely understand why! I had 2 days off and felt stupidly guilty so am forcing myself to plough through, but before I would do all sorts of things in the evenings - help out with friends, volunteer at scouts, which now I just cancel completely. I have No social life now

Fingers crossed for an easy afternoon. x

I am the same hun. I got weighed today at my booking appointment and iv lost a stone. I have also been off work like Kanga. I was off in the beginning because I was in hospital and have since been off with the sickness. Have been off for just over a month in total! Supposed to be going back tomorrow but I don't know how I'm going to do it! I feel so dreadful! Hope we all dart to feel better soon! I miss enjoying food!!
