Urgh.....

Hey all,

I know this topic has probs been covered soooooo many times before, but i just cant read back far enough...... Im 7+1 (we think) and I am really struggling with sickness..... Ive tried ginger biscuits (gluten free are urm, interesting), sea bands, eating little and often, various types of drink, sitting upright after meals for an hour (despite being in agony) and nothing is helping, i have no energy and no drive..... I cant even stand the smell of cooking food, and my OH has an obsession with wanting to take me out for a meal (more chance of england winning the world cup!!!!!!!)
Anyhow back to the point, my gp wont give me anything for the sickness as there isnt anything proven to not hurt bubba!!! Does anyone have any suggestions, im about ready to give up on this pregnancy business and i should be loving every minute not hating it!!!

I look forward to your replies and thankies in advance xxxx

Thanx Melly, i know i am so lucky to be pregnant and there are so many people desperate to be where i am now, but i struggle to even get out of bed i feel so crap..... We think some of it may not be helped by having to come off all of my medications that helped me to function on a daily basis..... I wanna feel well enough to go back to work and do the things i love doing...... Its so nice to have support from people who 'get it' if you get my meaning!!! Xx

Bless u, i def reckon its the medication u hve stopped taking that has made u feel worse! I had to stop taking my medication and i hve struggled a little but starting to feel better now, so fingera crossed u feel better however i get the impression ur medication like u said helps u to get theough each day! Xxx

 

[Sassyjane]

I have fibromyalgia, anxiety disorder, chronic tension headaches, hypermobility syndrome, ibs/food allergies...... I was taking 4 lots of medication, one of which i had only been on 2 weeks, think the shock to my system is massive!!!

 

[PyscoFalcon]

I feel exactly the same way hun!
To top it all off I've had to stop all my athritus and migraine meds so got constant headaches and my back is killing me!

When not spending the day laid up on the couch gagging then I'm in bed

Not found anything that works either.

 

[Sassyjane]

Sending big hugs psychofalcon, it really does suck! I have moved from the bed, to the shower and back to the bed so far today, just cant find the energy or drive..... Hope we find something to help soon xxx

 

[PyscoFalcon]

It really makes me wonder how so many women can continue working whilst there pregnant. They must be super women lol.

So glad I have a little netbook I can use on sofa and in bed.

 

[clairebear22]

I can't really offer any help but just wanted to say I really hope it doesn't go on for too much longer for you! x

My bestie say ginger tablets from the health shop (holland and barratt) were the only thing that helped her with sickness. She had it badly at all times of the day and nght. Fingers crossed you find something that helps xxx

Ginger and lemon tea with a spoonful of honey helps me, eating little and often, mainly s&v crisp a d cereal, I know how u feel doll I felt dreadfulfor the first few weeks and was sick constantly. Eating really does seem to help keep the sickness at bay xx

Hey Hun I'm in exactly the same situation as you! I had to come off my tegretol medication for a neuro problem. Thankfully pregnancy is agreeing with it and not suffering in that respect but I'm really struggling with sickness! I've been off work for two weeks and desperate to get back! My job is impossible when I'm like this. I constantly feel sick and vomit without warning nothing seems to help food wise but doctor prescribed cyclizine seems to help a tiny bit as long as you can keep tablet down for an hour which I struggle with Really hope t eases for us both soon!

 

[Sassyjane]

Thanx girls, and hope that your all coping and feeling alittle better today!

 

[mrz85]

[Sarah85]

[Sassyjane]
