Autistic and pregnant

Hi guys.

I'm really desperate for some advice. I'm undiagnosed but know I am definitely autistic.

Myself and my partner have been together for 4 years (same sex relationship). We decided that we should take the plunge and start a family. We went through the process found a sperm donor and was successful first time.

From week 4 I have been suffering with Hyperemesis vomiting 10+ times a day and unable to keep anything down. I've been in hospital multiple times for IV fluids and anti emetic.

It has seriously traumatised me. I feel no connection with this baby at all. It just makes me feel ill. And I have never felt so out of control of my body I cannot cope with it. I never thought getting pregnant would make me this ill of I did I would have never embarked on this journey.

It is seriously affecting my mental health. I so badly want an abortion. I just know that I'm not able to do this. I've told my NT partner how I am feeling and I'm every bad person under the sun. And I signed up for this so I must continue with it.

I'm at a loss
It's making me so suicidal.

Oh bless @Rochumbrella what a difficult situation. Pregnancy is very hard even when it’s a so-called “easy pregnancy”. But HG is horrendous.

No one, and I mean no one, has any right to judge what another human can or should tolerate.

I find it incredibly difficult to place my needs first and I think you’re showing incredible strength to do so.

we’re here for you on this board and we understand, if you want to come back at any stage to talk it through. And hand holding silently in the back ground too.

@Rochumbrella I am terrible at Maths 😳Did you have the procedure today or is it tomorrow? Are you okay?

Hi guys sorry its been an awful time
I had the procedure today. It went well. The care was better pre procedure. Afterwards they were really rushing to get rid of me as it was nearing closing time. Im feeling ok. Sad but hopeful that I'll start feeling better soon 💔

I'm so glad you are feeling ok. Please take it easy for the next few weeks and be kind to yourself.
