Hi Everyone, I'm looking for some guidance and advice and maybe just an understanding if anyone elses partner has felt like this before or if it could relate to ongoing extreme nausea in my pregnancy.
How can I cope with feeling extreme nausea when seeing my partner’s diabetes pump and tubing he had fitted recently? I’m pregnant and already struggling with sickness, I've had 3 different types of medication so far but the sight of the tubing and knowing there’s a needle in his stomach is making me feel even worse. I fully support him using the pump, but I don’t know how to manage my reaction. I feel awful that this might affect our intimacy, and I don’t want him to feel bad. Are there any strategies to help me adjust to this?
I know it's life saving, I know it's a wonderful piece of kit and can be life changing too and I do feel absolutely terrible for feeling the way I do but im scared it won't go.
I'm hoping it's just the initial change and shock and im really sorry if this post offends anyone too, I just want to be there and supportive for him too so maybe I do need a little row etc 😬
