I think I need help

I feel so miserable and hopeless.

This is my second HG pregnancy. The HG has now calmed down a little but now I feel like every part of me aches and I'm so tired but can't sleep.

I hate everything about pregnancy which makes me feel guilty. I just want my life back and to feel normal but I know that's so far away given pregnancy is followed by a newborn.

I'm so angry at my husband too he really wanted another child I was a bit on the fence but it's me who has to suffer to provide the child.

I'm currently a terrible parent to our three year old.

Sorry for long post!

You need to contact your midwife asap. Help is available.

In the meantime, do you have any family or friends who could help out with the 3 yo?

Sending hugs and support. Things can and will get better but for that to happen you need to ask for help and accept it. From your husband, GP, midwife, health visitor, friends and family.

Be loud and be clear about how you feel and what you need.

Have you spoken to Pregnancy Sickness Support? I found them very kind and supportive and informative when I had HG and was struggling mentally
