sick of being sick

[Kveta]

I am so so fed up with this pregnancy :(

it seems to be stop-start sickness so far, so I'll have a day or two of just feeling a bit nauseous, but otherwise OK, then a week of random chucking. At least last time round it was regular - every morning, like clockwork, and then all I could eat was potatoes all day until about 17 weeks. this time, there is nothing that hits the spot (pancakes did for a few days, but now the mention of them makes me feel sick), and I have days where I'm fine, and days where I can't even keep water down (yesterday being one of them :() plus being awake all night with nausea.

Last night I couldn't sleep because my throat was still burning from the evening's spew-fest, although it is starting to feel a bit better now. That said, I can feel my lunch just sitting there waiting to evacuate later, so suspect it will be another grim evening ahead.

and I just know DS will have saved up filling his nappy for when mummy is on her own with him, he won't have graced the nursery staff with one of those.

anyone else feeling rough, and just want to curl up in bed until the sickness stops? if it's like last time, I still have 4 weeks of this to go [pitiful]

sorry, needed a whinge so DH doesn't have another evening of coming home to his wife crying in the kitchen instead of preparing some dinner for us!!

Aw you need to get to the docs pronto and see if they can give you something to make it more bearable.
I am nauseous all the time and have to eat something every hour on the hour or I am useless. I just want to be in bed all the time too but I have a toddler and a job, its so much harder this time around.
I managed to cook for the first time in about 2 weeks today but i only managed a few mouthfuls and it is torture preparing DS's meals as everything he likes makes me want to hurl.
Hula hoops seem to hit the spot - nice and salty.
Hoping it gets better for you x

you oor love, I'm on strictly co-co pops and malt loaf today. I've had acupuncture twice which gave me 24 hours relief each time (had it loads in last pregnany too) is that something you could consider?

poor you, the nausea is horrible isn't it. I'm 8 weeks and the only things that are helping me at the mo are boiled potatoes, fruit cake and strawberry and banana smoothie. Not all together obviously! I'm another one that has to eat every hour to function so I'm piling the weight on already

I'm feeling really fed up with this pregnancy too.

I have 24/7 nausea for months now & retched my way round sainsburys today. I'm doing so much deep breathing in an effort not to puke i'm surprised i've not passed out.

Managed to cook some mash this eve but couldn't face the smell of anything else so DH had to cook the rest. This is my first pregnancy & have no idea how people do this with DC's, so feel for you having to cope with a LO too. At least i can lay down when i feel like it.

I would love to curl up til the sickness stops but am 22weeks now & really don't think it's going to. Some days are better than others but mostly i feel shit. I had a little cry this morning as was feeling sorry for myself.

It's crap isn't it?

oh, although it's horrid that others feel like this too, I'm so glad to not be the only one!

I wish eating helped my nausea, but it really doesn't - I fairly often bring up what I've just eaten, which is delightful. and has put me off so many yummy foods!! I really wish eating potatoes helped too, as a baked potato is so easy to make, but no, for some reason they make me gip.

purple I too have a toddler and a job, last time I just had a job and it was not much fun, but the addition of a 2 year old to the mix does not improve matters! I don't want to take anything for the nausea, as I tried it last time and brought the medication up each time. I will just whinge my way through it.

I managed a crumpet this morning, but only after half an hour of bringing up bile beforehand, and am now ravenous and nauseous at the same time. grr.

stripey you poor poor thing :( look after yourself as best you can, and fingers crossed the nausea does wear off.

(I have to say though, having moaned about feeling crap, I am SO glad not to have hyperemesis, as that sounds even grimmer than just constant nausea.)

remind me why we're all doing this again?!
