Please join me on a whinge thread about early pregnancy

[emkana]

I hate it. I feel sick, I have no appetite, I am permanently exhausted, I am already starting to get heartburn and sleep problems...

on the other hand there's nothing to show for it, no bump, no kicks, nothing.

Am 9 weeks tomorrow - oh please let the next 3 to 6 weeks go by quickly. All I want to do all day is sit still in a corner somewhere, not really doable when you already have two children (one is four, one two.)

And a quick question to you all: If sickness ends before the twelve weeks are over, is that always a sign that something is wrong? Because I so wish for it to end, but maybe that means wishing for the wrong thing?

Oh go on...

aww i remember it well..lol
sickness going before 12wks means nothing..dont fret over it and i think we all wish for it to end..lol

I hated the first 28wks of my pregnancy. I was sick until then, and resented the body changes. Once the sickness stopped everything got better. My DD was born 2 1/2 wks ago and it was definitly worth it.

Thinking about when to have the next one now, but not looking forward to going through pregnancy again.

Some women aren't sick at all and have perfectly healthy pregnancies. I on the other hand was so sick I literally couldn't move from bed (home then hospital) until 14wks. It really is yucky but we keep doing it!

Congrats Nova!

emkana, just to reassure you ( and don't hate me for this) i wasn't sick at all with either prgnancy and both were fine so it definately doesn't mean there's something wrong if it stops.
I had CHRONIC heartburn though that actually reduced me to tears!

Hope you're feeling better soon

I'm 22 weeks and hate being pregnant, although now I've stopped feeling nauseous and permanently weepy I feel lots better. Have to say this time round it has flown by, doesn't seem 5 minutes since I was 9 weeks, but that is prob because I can't be so indulgent like I could as a first time Mom...20 mth DS won't let me.
It does get better, I've been swimming and to aquanatal in order to keep my spirits up.

Suffered from a terrible pg when carrying dd.
First trimester was constantly sick and ended up in hospital for two weeks with dehydration.

Third trimester was constantly exhausted had swollen ankle and persistent heartburn and wasn't able to sleep more than a few hours a night for the last 6 weeks.

Second trimester was almost symptom free but was in a car crash.

Despite all the suffering and problems I really miss being pg (dd is now 5 months old). It is really all worth it and just feeling the baby kick outweights all the pain and suffering.

my thread five weeks ago

I feel better now btw

i remember the sickness well!! im 32+3 now and i found that i was constantly ill up until around 16weeks when it just stopped all of a sudden!! i woke up one morning feeling on top of the world and that was the morning sickness all gone!! i found the best thing for me during the sickness was to just rest and drink plenty of water. as long as you can keep water down dont worry too much!! if you feel like eating at all stick to the stuff you really fancy not stuff you think you should eat cos youll prob be sick anyway so why not treat yourself a little!! hth!!

Hate to make you feel worse emkana but, although I felt sick for the first 14 weeks, I am now at 25 weeks and the back pains/cramp/lack of sleep and generally feeling crap are worse!! That doesn't make you feel better at all does it?

But we wouldn't change it for the world, eh?

sorry to say emkana...I was ill untill 20 ish weeks and then it started again at around 30 weeks..mmmm..not just sickness but spd,sore and tired legs..just a knacked body in general really!

BUT now dd is 6 months old I seem to have forgoten what it felt like all that time ago...oopppss, isn't this the time that some people fall pregnant again !!!
