Feel awful today. Normal?

Hi,

I am 24+5 and still feeling nauseous most of the time, although it is cope-able with. Today, however I have felt horrific, close to throwing up all day with a horrid tummy ache on and off (although not had an upset tummy).

I have only been able to eat my old ms staples from early pg (crisps, crackers, ice lolly, can of pepsi etc, so absolute shite), but could not stomach any "proper food". Doesn't help that I had a massive panic when I went to fetch dd from school as I felt so unwell, only just managed to avoid being sick at school.

So I just wondered, could this just be a particulalrly bad day of pregnancy nausea? Does anyone get really bad days like this out of the blue? Or maybe I just have a virus starting.

I am now sat at home eating Ritz crackers and contemplating giving dd tomato soup for tea as I cannot face cooking, feel like a complete wimp. :(

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Probably just a virus making nausea worse. Hope you feel better soon

Thanks lucy, I was kind of hoping it would be a virus, don't want my pregnancy nausea getting worse!

My nausea has got to the point of copeable with on a daily basis but if I get run down/tired/a bit under the weather etc etc then I do get a really bad day back again - I think it's just body way of making us rest. I feel like all I do is blooming rest at the minute though - it's getting quite dull!. heart burn is a right pain today too :(

Thanks angels. I just tried to eat a sandwich and that made me feel worse, I really do feel very off today and not my usual self.

Think I may go to bed as soon as dd does tonight, I just feel so bloody awful.

Rocklover you seemed a little stressed yesterday on the forum. This could just be a result of this. My MS always resurfaces when I've not had enough sleep or if I've been working too hard and start to feel exhausted. I think you need some real you time. Maybe you and the OH could go out at weekend and unwind? I think you need a break before you wear yourself in completely. Spoil yourself!! I hope you feel better soon!

I think it's a virus. I had similar for a few days and was waking up in the night feeling sick. Eating made it worse, not better as in ms.

Catherine I am very stressed, my nausea has brought my anxiety back as I am phobic about throwing up, so it is like hell for me.

To make matters worse I hardly ever feel like going out, so feel very guilty that my dd doesn't get out enough at weekends. I feel like I am becoming mildly agoraphobic because of feeling so poorly, but that's another thread entirely.

I had only 2 hours sleep last night due to my dp having a very bad cold and snorning/snuffling all night which drives me mad (although not his fault at all). Plus I had to keep peeing every hour and by the time I fell asleep at around 5 I was almost crying with frustration. Now dd is off school with a bit of a cold and "Idon'twanttogotoschool-itis", which means I will need to do some entertaining today.

I hate being pregnant.

How are you feeling today?

I get horrifically bad days out of the blue, Ive managed to pin it down to tiredness. If I dont sleep well the night before I feel off all day and often spend the day throwing up. I am almost 23 wks now and I do have 2/3 days break in between but then for 2/3 days I end up back to square one.

Aww julez, you are much worse off than me, I feel like a fraud in comparison as I am not actually throwing up.

I feel rubbish today, very depressed like this is never going to end. My anxiety is getting very bad and I feel quite tearful today. In June I moved nearly 200 miles away from my family and I am really starting to feel it now as I have no help at hand.

Dp does what he can round the house, but he cannot drive, so cannot help with the school run or taking dd out when I don't feel like it. I just feel very isolated and very worried about how much I am struggling.

I always feel worse if I am stressed and or tired - so wouldn't be at all surprised if this is what is happening for you. Don't think that things are going to get worse... just take each day as it comes, and take things as easy as you can. Is it possible for you to nap during the day?

Hang on in there xx
