I cant not deal anymore! Moaning Monday

[OnNaturesCourse]

I'm sick, again.

I hate being sick. All I wanted was to brush my teeth but instead my guts came up.

Antisickness tablets are doing NOTHING.

I know it's all the joys of pregnancy but every time I get that feeling now my heart races and I start sweating. Always had a bit of a fear of being sick but it's crazy now.

I'm bloody exhausted too. Do pregnant women get to sleep, or is it another horrid trick of mother nature to stop it when we need it most?! I find the sickness worse with little sleep.

I'm ok when I'm not at work and physically not doing anything as I can cat nap and pick eat dry toast and the likes but then work slaps me in the face - how are you meant to complete training, get your qualifications to do the job and keep your breakfast, lunch and bile down after a crap sleep!?

I really don't know the point in this post? Get it off my chest? Support? Tell me I'm not the only one struggling with simple, every day stuff?

I knew this could be hard but my goodness I feel like I'm wading through ever deepening mud with no lights on.

Send help. Send comfort! ✌

I've moaned all morning. I'm on crutches due to SPD and they make my hands hurt; I've projectile vomited all over the bathroom this morning; it was so violent that I've burst all the blood vessels in my face and I'm covered in angry red dots; I've then had to clean the sick up on my own as DH is away with work; that meant I was late leaving; my three year old cried when I left her at nursery and then I got stuck in traffic and was horribly late for work....whilst looking like I have a horrific rash on my face.
This is all one sentence as I feel like I've just let that out in a big rush!
I'm not the poster girl for pregnancy. It's misrable! I'm excited to meet the baby but 10 more weeks of this means I'm going to need some damn fancy Mother's Day presents when they grow up!
You are not alone!

Aww Vfoster that is awful.

That ten weeks must seem like a age away. I'm only 11 weeks and at the end of my tether. People keep saying the 2nd trimester is better though so...yeah, still not holding out much hope.

It is hard isn't it! No one ever tells you about that the exhaustion either!! 😩
I'm 14 weeks at the moment, (honestly not to brag) but I was quite lucky as my sickness wasn't anywhere near as bad, however I did think I was over it now, til eating my dinner the other night and literally started heaving out of no where! 🙄
I work as a nursing assistant/carer as well so definitely sympathise on how difficult work can be too. I don't know about you but I was honest with my boss from day one (due to the patients I care for I had to be), at the end of the day you need to look after yourself as number one priority now as well as the little one 😊 If you feel ill or tired, listen to your body and just give in to it and let yourself rest. You'll feel so much worse if you try and push on as normal - I know I did. Hope you start feeling better soon xx

The second trimester does get better! I went downhill again for the third but the middle bit was actually quite nice. I know I've not had it as bad as some but moaning always makes it fee better 😃

Thank you Ash.

I'm office based and my manager knew from about 4 weeks but my colleagues don't. Although I wouldn't be surprised if they had guessed by now.

I've managed to speak to the nurse at my GP surgery and she wants me to go see a GP at 10:50 so I've delayed going into work. I just hope something helps.

I'm much like yourself in that the heaving comes out of no where, and it then writes off up to 40minutes for me to hug the toilet, sink, bin... Whatever is near enough.

Yes, Vfoster moaning helps a lot and it's nice to know that I'm not actually being a drams queen it just simply does suck. Xx

I totally feel your pain. I'm 16 weeks and have had hyperemesis since 5 weeks. Just as I got control of it I managed to catch horrific food poisoning and ended up in hospital (again!).
Not sure if this is helpful but my GP gave me some anti sickness tablets that you dissolve in your mouth under your tip lip for when I couldn't keep the tablets down...

I'd just come on here to moan! I'm 19 weeks and absolutely exhausted due to a mix of insomnia, needing to wee a million times a night and a non sleeping 4 year old who wanted me to stroke his head at 3am this morning. I thought my sickness was easing slightly, then threw up everything I ate yesterday. I've been having panic attacks due to trauma with first pregnancy (ds born at 27 weeks - healthy now but a long hard slog!) and I have a promotion assessment on Thursday which I have done no work for. I've dropped ds at nursery and am now back in bed trying to study, but my usually quite keen brain is like mush and I'm taking nothing in and just know I'm going to make a fool of myself (although maybe not as much as my last promotion efforts 4 years ago when I threw up mid interview - pregnant! Funnily enough I scored really high on that one!)

6 weeks left here. The hg has literally only just cleared up so I completely sympathise with how awful it is. Ondansetron melts was the only thing that helped me. Definitely ask your doctor about them- I don't know if it was because I had hg in my first pregnancy that he was a bit more helpful sooner but I'd insist on trying them. Good luck and it will pass eventually xx

Tootey those tablets sound good, I really struggle to swallow mine and then they don't always stay down. Does the dissolving ones have a taste to them?

Storey... It's definitely hard continuing at work. I've not long completed a years worth of training, so I now need to put it all into practise. I'm a insurance consultant so it's really high pressure, especially to start with, as all the responsibilities are mine and I'm individually accountable. I also now have to complete a qualification as evidence of training. So that's another 50 odd hours that I need to squeeze into my day.

Fcuk, I don't think I have HG... Or at least it's never been mentioned to me before. Every time I visit the GP (literally every week at the moment) I feel like a hypochondriac

You don't have to have HG to have the tablets, I've never been diagnosed with it and was certainly nowhere near some of the ladies on here, but I was throwing up several times a day with nausea the rest of the time. My GP would only give me cyclizine which didn't work for me, but after I couldn't provide a water sample as too dehydrated my consultant gave me ondansetron which was wonderful.

That's what I am on just now. It's not even helping at all. Hopefully things get changed today.

I am also going to ask back my back and pelvis pain that has been lingering for the past few days. Can you pull muscles being sick? Wondering if that is the problem

They don't taste of anything. You put one in between your gum and top lip and it slowly dissolves over 1-2 hours. They saved me when I've been at my worst!

I'll complain!

I'm 19 weeks and still throwing up and nauseous all the time
I'm SO constipated
The heartburn is unreal
I'm exhausted
I'm battling to work but struggling, even from home
These friggin spots need to do one
Where's this second trimester glow I was promised?

I swear I'm actually looking forward to labour as it means I won't be pregnant any more 😫

Aww Lemon Drop, I feel you! I'm currently sat at GPs waiting on the need to pee to see if I'm dehydrated / if I need to go to hospital for a IV.

I think the pregnancy glow really is a trick to maintain the population!

And, yes!! My skin looks a mix of belonging to a tired 60 year old and a hormonal 15 year old!!!

Officially have HG and a UTI. Moaning Monday indeed!

Did you need the drip nature? Have they sorted you some more medication?

I'm borderline dehydrated so I managed to avoid hospital. Been told if I get headaches I've to go back. Try get more fluids to stay down etc. Got the dissolvable tablets which actually have helped. Managed a half bowl of soup, slice of bread and crisps plus lots of fluids (even a ice pole!)

Oh Natures, feel so sorry for you. Just try and keep topped up with the dissolvable pills and don't ever let yourself get hungry- the hg gets 10 times worse on an empty stomach. Strangely high protein foods tend to settle better than "healthy " stuff like fruit. Also mashed potato is your friend, if you can sneak some fat like butter or cheese into it, all the better. Big hugs x

Morning!

I woke up hungry, that's a first. 😁 I took one of the pills at 5am (I woke to shove snoring DP over) Think it could be the trick to starting the day better?

Xxx

Ooh fingers crossed for you. The only thing that kept me out of hospital and was recommended by GP was ice cubes made with apple juice which I slowly sucked. Any liquid I drank would come straight back up but these didn't and the sugars helped as well.
