I’m ten weeks pregnant and have HG. It’s calmed down now after two hospital admissions in a week, but still feel nauseous all the time and constantly feel like I’m on a boat. I Don’t have the energy to get out of bed or leave my bedroom, plus we got a puppy before We found out we were pregnant and I can’t stand the smell of the dog or the downstairs of my house. (Mainly because of the puppy)
My partner has been great but practically lives downstairs while I live upstairs due to him needing to look after the puppy and I can’t sleep in the same bed as him as he’s restless and moves round a lot making my nausea a whole lot worse!
The thought of food makes me wretch and no food seems to appeal to me, even water is making me feel sickly now. As it’s just the same taste over and over again.
I’ve been off work since week 5 of my pregnancy because of hg and I’m hoping to go back in 3 days - maybe a routine will help me?!
Im constantly crying and feeling lonely and alone, envious that those around me are feeling fine and not sick. - causing me to snap and be rude to them for no reason.
I have suffered from depression and anxiety in the past but don’t feel this is the same feelings I’ve had before- this feels different.
I don’t know if my low mood is because of constantly feeling sick and the situation my sickness has unfortunatley put my partner and myself in or if it is indeed the mental health coming back.
Please tell me I’m not the only one that hyperemesis gravidarum has affected emotionally aswell as physically?
Any ideas to help combat this awful feeling are much appreciated too!
