early pregnancy / morning sickness shameless whinge thread

[microferret]

Right, I'll kick things off.

I'm 9 weeks in and hating every second of it. Vomiting a lot more than last time. This time I have a very sweet but very energetic toddler to entertain, which really helps with my fatigue . Everything smells disgusting. The fumes of downstairs' cooking are wafting up into my living room and though I know objectively they are cooking something delicious, to me it smells as rancid as a putrefying carcass. I'm constantly forced to eat food I don't want so that I won't be sick. I think I might weep if I have to eat another piece of dry toast. I'll certainly cry if one more person suggests I try ginger. Everybody I know suddenly has foul breath. And I know that even when this ends, I'm going to have spots, thrush, swollen fat sausage legs, kidney pain, leg cramps and a small human kicking me in the fanny from the inside out at 3am.

Ahhhh I feel better! Anybody else want to join in?

Can I join in and moan please? D:
Off work for a whole week last week due to sickness, it was constant so went hospital. Thankfully urine was fine so prescribed me with stronger anti sickness tabs than before, which pretty much just knock you out as soon as you have them. So pretty much slept constantly for like 2 days. But now I'm back at work I can't take them because I would just sleep at my desk, and with the 5 other people in the room, I don't think I could pull it off.

10+1 today and really fed up. I'm sick at least 3/4 times a day. and the rest of the time I'm just feeling nauseas. Nothing helps, and I can honestly say the next time someone tells me ginger helps, I might just chuck a batch of ginger in their face.

I'm so envious of the people who breeze through their first trimester. I had a MC a few months ago, and I hate to come across as ungrateful but I just feel so crap all the time. Sickness, tiredness and hormones are driving me crazy.

AGH!

14 weeks, vomiting less but still feel nauseuos and food generally tastes of nothing / dirt - when will it end !!

thanks guys but tbh the sickness is not/was not ever as bad with these twins as it was with my singleton pregnancy ( I already have a DD) I used to vomit in the street on a regular basis walking home from work ... so all you guys with sickness ROCK xx Morning sickness sucks and can do one

Anyone else finding TOOTHPASTE a nausea trigger?? And the DP stinks repellent all the time, which is difficult. Poor bloke.

Oh yes, I dread brushing my teeth as it makes me gag so much. I really hate people telling me to try ginger too, can't think of anything worse.

I'm finding it's the toothbrush not the toothpaste that's the problem. Have switched from my electric toothbrush to a 'normal' one which has resulted in a lot less gagging and dry heaving in the mornings.

So relieved to find others to share a moan with. I fear my DP and friends are getting rather fed up of me now. 9+5 and have been nauseous/vomiting every day, multiple times per day for weeks now with no end in sight. Nothing helps. Tablets make me feel worse. Wah!! Can't remember suffering so much last time although hormones are dodgy little shits and make you forget all the horrid stuff to trick you into going through it all again!!
Hope it lifts soon or I may have a meltdown worse than my almost 2 year old!!

I'm so grateful to be pregnant and everything, but the first trimester is just so unbelievably shit.

I hate feeling sick the whole damn time

I hate never having a full and decent night's sleep

I hate not being able to do my job properly because I feel so lousy, but not being able to explain why I am suddenly incompetent

I hate having no-one to moan to except DH

I hate the uncertainty and the fact the 12 week scan still feels like an eternity away

I hate the gnawing low level worry that this won't work out

I hate only having about three things in my wardrobe I can wear without my belly looking really obvious

I hate being too exhausted to keep up with my toddler

I hate having loads of decisions to make about work, childcare and home which are all pregnancy dependent but feeling paralysed about doing anything about them because it's too early and I might 'jinx it'

Did I mention how much I hate feeling sick?
