Can't even deal

[broadwaymama]

I was down for the count with severe nausea by 8:00 last night, tossed and turned, and woke up feeling the same. This pregnancy is so different from my others. I'm so sick of feeling sick! Every smell turns my stomach, I can hardly eat, I'm loosing weight, I can't go to the gym, and I can't keep up with my kids. This sucks!!! I pray to God that this is just first tri. I know many people who were sick their whole pregnancies....I just don't know how much more I can take!
Cookies for everyone who gets through my pity party rant! Sorry! I'm just so tired of being sick and sick of being tired!

[jaykemp]

Fx it's just first tri! Sorry you're so sick mama

[mladerri]

I'm sorry you're feeling crappy. When I was pregnant with ds I always said how do people do this with another kid? This time around I feel the same way! I'm so exhausted its hard to keep up. We transitioned ds to a toddler bed this weekend and he's not sleeping so I'm pooped. I hope your energy comes back soon and the nausea subsides! Making babies is hard work!

[broadwaymama]

Thank you ladies!!! Sometimes you just gotta get it out!!! What I really want is my mommy and I can't tell my mommy yet!!!

[packerfan4life]

Hopefully it's just 1st tri and you start feeling better soon

I'm so sorry! Have you tried unisom? I take half a unisom sleep tab at night and it really helps my nausea the next day.

I take the B6 and sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. The unison makes me nervous because my system is so funky with meds, I'm afraid I will be all dopey in the morning! I may try on sat night when I have nothing on sun morning to be up for.

I feel you on the weird med reaction. Things that make other people sleepy generally make me extremely hyperactive. If I take a half a unisom, I sleep. If I take a whole one, I'm up cleaning all night. It's bizarre.

Sorry your not feeling great right now. Hopefully it passes soon & you can start enjoying your pregnancy

[nitecheese]

Sorry you're feeling so bad, broadwaymama. Can you talk to your doc soon about alternative meds to uni/b6?

I'm the same way.

I hope you aren't dealing with sickness that long either!  Bleh.

I threw up three times this morning thanks to my husband making coffee. To add insult to injury I got a nose bleed as I was throwing up the last time. I just collapsed sobbing in a pity party for one. My poor husband was at a loss of what to do. I am asking for Diclegis at my Friday afternoon appointment with the RE.

Side note: after dealing with IF I feel so incredibly awful for bitching about pregnancy symptoms.

[Flair Underwood]

Ack, I have a pretty constant queasy feeling and am so nervous this is next for me! Hope it passes soon!!!

[ohiorideresq]

I'm so sorry. I was like this for my first pregnancy. I threw up every single day, sometimes multiple times from 8 weeks until the day I gave birth (at nearly 42 weeks). You have nothing but my deepest empathy.

[titania]

broadwaymama, I'm so sorry your a feeling so sick. Hopefully it will just be 1st tri.

Andrea, I'm so sorry! That sounds awful! I understand where you are coming from... this morning I literally said out loud "Muffin I wanted you so bad - why are you being mean to me!" BUT complaining about your symptoms doesn't change the fact that you are excited to be pregnant! Vomiting sucks in every situation.

[frecklesnbrains]

Ugh, I'm sorry Definitely try some med options. I'm very new to this but I have a suspicion that pregnant women are expected to just "grin and bear it" through miserable symptoms, but if there are safe and effective treatments out there then jump on it!

I also hit a wall yesterday. I was so nauseous all day and then when I came home I started getting cramps and bad lower back pain. I just took a Tylenol, climbed into bed and curled up in a fetal position all evening. I also just wanted to cry and call my mom or my sister or my sister-in-law or my best friend. I think I've decided to break my initial plan not to tell anyone until 12 weeks, because I need some support through this. Maybe you could consider the same?

[txmommy14]

So sorry everyone! It's miserable, isn't it? I thought I was sick with my son but had no idea. Feel better soon!!

Don't feel bad!!! If you feel like crap you feel like crap! Just because you had trouble doesn't mean you can't bitch about feeling terrible!!!

My mom will know probably at 12 weeks since she is watching my kids during my first appointment and I don't see her much. Everyone else we will wait for (there are s lot of life changing events going on in the next couple weeks and we don't want to take attention away from anyone).
DH has been a big help so I'm thankful for him!!

[shoogars]

I'm sorry you are feeling so bad! My second pregnancy sounds a lot like yours, and the only thing I could keep down (and actually settles my stomach) was sonic's fresh fruit lemon-strawberry slushed. I think the fresh lemon really helped...luckily we have a sonic in the neighborhood:) do something to treat yourself, if you can. This is just a phase, do whatever it takes to get through it.

I'm cheers-ing you with saltine crackers. Thank you.

[cattuccino]

Ahh I'm sorry you're feeling so bad!!
If its really really affecting you and you keep losing weight, try to make an earlier appointment, I hope it's nothing as serious as HG, but if it is and you need extra monitoring, I'd feel better if you had that sooner rather than later.

[ArgyleEnigma]

I fricking feel you. Tuesday I travelled for business and vomited 5 goddamn times. Poor taxi drivers (I did have sick bags). I can't drink an entire glass of water in one sitting or up it comes. If this lasted the entire pregnancy I honestly, at this moment, don't know if I would sign up for a second.

I called my mom and she said hers only lasted for a few weeks. It's been almost 2 so I am holding onto hope I will follow her path. Best of luck to you and everyone else.

Maybe I just give 0 fucks right now, but I feel no guilt whatsoever throwing myself a big ass pity party, given that I'm keeping it to myself, DH, and now this board.

[broadwaymama]

i was just able to eat a salad and I went to the gym this morning!!!! Now I'm super nauseous but I don't give a crap! It was a nice couple of hours!

[cattuccino]

Hooray for small victories!
