To feel an utter rage when people talk about wanting to feel nauseous?

[mrsb1401]

I like to think of myself as a fairly level headed person but AIBU to get an absolute seething rage when people in the early stages of pregnancy talk about having no symptoms and wanting to feel nauseous for reassurance?

For context, I am currently 22 weeks into hyperemesis and I can categorically say it's been the most physically and mentally challenging time of my life. I cannot fathom why anyone in their right mind would want to feel like this. Even for 'reassurance.' I just can't.

I suppose no one can truly know what it's like unless they've experienced it. But can we please stop wishing we felt sick. Trust me, you don't want this. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Nobody wants HG, OP. What some women would like is a smattering of reassurance nausea. Feeling a bit green around the gills and not fancying coffee.

You are at the other end of the extreme which I'm sure feels unfair, and when you're suffering and it feels like people are making light of your experience then it's ok to feel miffed. And hopefully you're just venting here and not to the other pregnant women

I haven't experienced HG and wouldn't want to. But I have experienced baby loss, missed miscarriage and then more baby loss. The last time I was pregnant I was sick every day from finding out into she died at 15w gestation. My being so ill didn't mean she was a healthy baby and that felt like a cheap shot from nature. It was probably partially anxiety that made me so nauseated.

I am sorry you're feeling so rough and I hope you're being looked after. I hope you can get hydrated and get the right medication to knock the edge off.
