Hello Ladies,

Ok so in my head I feel like I'm going a little crazy, my baby was planned and I am happy about it, but i feel absolutely miserable, in the first 9 weeks I had sever morning sickness (all day long) with nausea, at week 10 this stopped and I thought things would get better but two days later my back, leg and hips started to hurt so much that I went to my Gp, I do often suffer from back pain but this is the first time in years that I have had to see my gp. Since then I have seen physio, osteopath, had scans at the hospital etc and I have pelvic girdle pain, this is excruciating and hurts all day and all night. The doctors have given me codeine but this makes me spaced out and I think is giving me head aches.
On top of this I am absolutely horrible, everyone is making me angry and I feel inside like I'm boiling over and I am trying to hold my tongue because I know that I am being errational, I want to cry all the time, nothing my partner says makes me feel better, he is amazing and I know it's unfair of me to expect him to make me feel better but I just can't help myself.
Sorry for the rant, I just don't know what to do and need some where to voice my insanity!

Hope you ladies are fairing better than me, I feel so guilty about feeling down, I know how lucky I am to even be able to have this baby, hopefully I will perk up soon!
Xxx

Pregnancy is HARD!

Sorry your PGP has started so early. That sound unusual. Make sure you get support, and not just painkillers. Have you been referred to a Physio?

Someone much more knowledgable than me will come along soon, but I'm 38+4 now and exhausted and achy, but I wouldn't go back to that knackering sicky 12 week stage. Much better in a week or so once your placenta fully takes over.

Congratulations. Don't beat yourself up - hormones do funny things to you.

Thanks anything, much appreciated. Just wish I didn't feel so miserable. But like you say I'm sure it will pass soon.

I am in the same boat! My sickness is awful!!!
Naively, i believed the sickness would come and go... but nope.... I havent felt okay for so long!!!! :(
Ive tried all the tips like water and biscuits etc but nothing is helping!!! I work full time and all i want to do is lock myself in a dark room (with a bucket handy) and cry!!! :'(

I'm 16w5d and I 'suffered' from 5.. no wait, I did in fact suffer from 5 weeks with nausea. MS, and the wonderful SPD (physio is helping a ton!). I've finally (touch wood) stopped puking my guts out.

I hated hearing this, but it gets better. at least by a little bit. I was counting down till 13 weeks foolishly believing my body would finally let up on the day. Pg with DS deluded my expectations as I didn't puke a day, hardly had nausea, no heartburn, no frequent urination.. I kid you not it was so easy! if I wasn't in tune with my body, I'd have easily lived not knowing I was pregnant (kicks and rolls aside) it was that blissful.

pity I didn't appreciate it!

Rest as much as you can, lemon and lime in hot water helps with nausea too.
