well done jelliebaby, and I hope you are feeling better soon. Get your DH to read the links I posted. Yes, pregnancy has its ups and downs, but the low days shouldn't outweigh the good.

re the meds for your skin.....there is an organisation in Newcastle that deals with informing GPs about the effects of all medicines in pregnancy. Your GP can call them with the drug details and they will give her the lowdown. It can't be accessed by lay people unfortunately, but you can at least give her the info for checking herself.

i'll dig out a link for you.

take Care of yourself

well done you! Hope you feel better soon x

Thanks nadssss

I went to the drs this afternoon and asked for the Zinyert - she said she didn't feel comfortable giving it to me. I soon as she said that i was in tears and everything came out about how i felt.

She was lovely and has referred me to a specialist midwife who deals with this 'type of thing' she said a huge fuss is made over Post Natal Depression but Pregnancy depression is often left as people assume they should feel a bit rubbish when pregnant.

She said alot can be done and that i'm not alone. Really glad I went now so thanks everyone for the advice.

Told DP when i got home but he refuses to admit i'm depressed and thinks i just feel down coz i'm pregnant - suppose men still have a lot to learn!!!

I feel like this sometimes too jelliebaby – I am 13 weeks as well. I haven’t been answering calls from friends because I just want to go home, eat dinner and get into bed. I suppose the difference is that I don’t feel like this ALL of the time and, if you do, you need to speak to someone because I bet you feel like you can’t keep going on about the same things (sickness etc) to your family and hubby.

Also, my skin was bad at about 8 weeks and I just dreaded going to work or going out. I think people underestimate the terrible effect on self esteem bad skin can have. I can only tell you what you know is true – that your skin looks worse to you than anyone else. I found my skin – even though bad – seemed to heal quite quickly. I do think you should see a doctor about this too – it can be so devastating.

I find I feel most awful on a Friday night because I am so tired after a week working – I am totally irrational – then I wake up on a Saturday morning and can’t understand why I was so upset.

I would just advise you to see someone BUT also to stop being so hard on yourself for feeling bad. This is a major change to your body and you should indulge yourself a bit – take care of yourself, have baths and treat yourself if you can.

Thanks Laidback. I do come on the due Feb thread but i just moan everytime i'm on it and everyone is so positive on the thread didn't want to bring the mood down. I'm running out of people to moan to

Jellie - I know you come on to the due in Feb thread sometimes, but we will all support you there - whether you are feeling good or bad

X post then I think. Your MS situation sounds similar to mine My MS started at 5 weeks and after a 3 day hospital visit I was in bed for 3 weeks. The hospital gave me 'Cyclizine' tablets to take 3 times a day (which i'm still taking) Just wanted to let you know that at 8 weeks it eased (slightly)and then at 10 weeks it eased again (slightly) so you won't feel 'this bad' forever and you won't be spending every day in bed. It does ease, just slowly.

I'm obviously still feeling sick and crap but think my problems are more than just MS.

Thanks for all your help on this. I think I probably do have AND as I seem to have all the symptoms listed on the link you posted. I think I will speak to my MW at my next appointment and also ask her about 'Zinyert'

Oh I used to see zineryt- its a topical solution that you put directly onto the face and should not effect the baby.
It really works.
At least thats what I told all the docs

hi jellie

I am the same- I am 7 weeks and have hyperemesis and have been confimed to bed for 2 weeks
I AM FECKING DEMENTED!!!!!
I am so ill I cant really get out of bed- cant eat and puke up a few times day.
DP tells me to snap out of it
Family think I am too snappy and moody
I cant cope with dd (2 and half)
cant even give my dogs a cuddle as their smell makes me vomit

I feel like shit and mega depressed but thats because of my cicumstances

I think you sound more likely to have depression as an illness and could possible need treatment? How would you feel about talking to your midwife about this?

Please try and seek help

If its any consolation I sometimes feel that bad that I want the pregnancy to end
