Sickness

[keeptrying14]

So this is my third pregnancy so you think I should be used to this by now. I had severe hg with my first but only morning sickness with my second. I was hoping it would be the same as my second but at 6 weeks I feel awful constant sickness and nausea and been in bed most of the day. Has anyone had bad sickness each pregnancy and how did you deal with your other kids while feeling like this? They are only 2 and 4 and I feel so guilty that I’m putting them through this. I almost just want it to end which sounds truly awful and I’m sorry if that upsets anyone but I don’t think I can take another day of this let alone months of it. I don’t know what to do I’m in a bit of a bad place at the moment x

Oh hunny, I really can't help as I wasn't sick with my first and was sick 7-11pm most night with pregnancy two. So child number 1 was in bed.
Can't you go to drs ASAP and start trying all different tablets to help it. With your history of HG surely they should help?

Pregnancy is hard going when you don't have children, never mind young ones.
I'm only about 5 weeks and a few days and iv started feeling slightly sick and that's bad enough.
I really do feel for you.
Do you have no one to help entertain the kids while you nap or lay on sofa for a little while?

I can't relate to the HG or constant sickness thus far (my first pregnancy I had no morning sickness at all) but the last few days I've been feeling really rough. Kinda like a cross between a severe hang over and the flu. Pretty painful upset stomachs all night long as opposed to vomiting too.

I've been panicking about this pregnancy and whether I can cope the next 7 and a bit months too, (let alone the newborn phase with 2 under 2) but for different reasons. My anger and moods are extreme, to the point where I feel I can flay everyone alive sometimes. I have a one year old son and I told OH on his first birthday this Sunday that I didn't want to continue this pregnancy. I feel like I'm losing my mind and turning into a monster, and these hormones are the culprit. It's completely okay to feel that way sometimes, especially when you feel at a loss and are focusing on the daunting months ahead.

I agree with Linx in going to the doctor and seeing if you can get ahead of the sickness, especially with history of HG. Do you have any family close by that can help out throughout the week with the little ones, letting you get some rest?

I have no advice about dealing with being pregnant and having little ones, as I'm only going through this now for the first time, but just know that you're not alone in feeling fed up sometimes and it's completely normal (what with added hormones to boot) to doubt how you'll get through it.
Sending you massive hugs

Thank you so much both for replying it means a lot. I’m already on metroclopride 3 x a day I can’t have cyclazine as I had a bad reaction when they did it IV in hospital I went through most drugs in those 9 months. I am the same firstfreakoit I sat hubby down and said I don’t want this anymore let go back to how it was but he is so adamant that we r keeping it there’s no talking to him plus I don’t actually think I could go through with it anyway. I am an emotional wreck tho worse than either of the other 2. This is def the last one for me completely done now. I hope you both feel ok over the next few weeks and don’t get to poorly with it. This part of pregnancy sucks xx

I'm so glad (well I'm not sure glad is the right word actually).... Anyway I have felt like this too. Me and oh cried and argued over this pregnancy and then I made a decision to keep the baby and I made it completely alone. It was a case of weighing up my mental health in both situations. I know 100% this baby is the right thing for me and the family will adjust.

Im petrified, worse in this pregnancy than the other two.
I don't seem to have a sane mind. I flit from Omg were going to have a baby to... Someone's going to take this away from me... Than back too ohhh I cant wait for my scan.

I agree this trimester is all guess work and awful for mental health! I'm. So. Anxious!
