Just needing to MOAN!!!

Hey there everyone, I was on the hyperemesis support thread for abit but havent posted for a while, anyway just feel like I need to MOAN without judgement or being patronised. Anyway, Im nearly 13 weeks and was on a temporary high after having the all clear at the 1st scan last week and seeing/hearing the little buggers heartbeat for the first time. But now am back to my usual miserable self. Like I said I was on the hyperemesis support thread cos the nausea/vomiting Ive suffered means Im constantly taking cyclizine which seems to have stopped the vomiting but not the nausea/dry retching. Im also taking paracetamol all the time cos the migraine type headaches but it doesnt seem to help them. Like I said Im only 12+4 weeks but I feel like Ive already been suffering for a life time, Im so exhausted but find it hard to sleep at night, I have horrible heartburn and the bottom of my back in the middle of my pelvis is so painful I have to grip my teeth through it every time I bend, stand, roll over in bed etc. I have terrible constipation and gas which means I feel absolutely huge with bloating and pretty much all of my clothes are already too tight making me feel like a whale and worrying what I will be like by 6 months. I never leave the house apart from to go to work and spent the weekend bent over the toilet bowl sobbing in between retches because I just feel so mentally and physically worn out. Anyway thanks for letting me rant and it would be great if anyone else could share that they felt this terrible this early on and especially anyone who can give reassurance that this will soon pass!

Aww Sprite sorry to hear you're having such a rough time Sad

I'm 14+2 now but suffered really badly with sickness during the first 12 weeks and it is just so so wearing!

Thankfully my sickness is easing now but I also have pelvic pain so I understand what you mean.

I was also mega bloated at first and nothing fitted me but the last week or so it has reduced and I'm getting a small bump now which is better. Hopefully your bloating should ease fairly soon and shouldn't make a difference to your size later on.

With pelvic pain I know not much helps but try a warm bath and make it extra nice with some nice bubbles and
candles to help you relax. Also do talk to your midwife about it. Mine has referred me to a physio (I have curvature of the spine as well) and gave me information
about antenatal pilates which might help.

Are you able to take a few days off work or get your gp to give you a sick note? I took a couple of days the other week and just relaxed/slept and it really helped. I'm a teacher and felt guilty at first but now is the time to be selfish.

Take care and I hope you start to feel better soon x

awww sprite sorry you are having such a bad time. Do hang in there, even hyperemesis often does get a little better as the pregnancy progresses. Are you managing to drink enough as the headaches could be made worse by dehydration?
