Fed up

[funkycoldmedina19]

Think I just need to rant or want sympathy or something, I don't know. I'm currently 13+2 with dc2 and I am just fed up.

I had morning sickness right up until the day I gave birth last time and it seems it's going the same way. Anti-sickness tablets off dr are doing nothing except making me sleepy.

I'm anaemic anyway but this pregnancy is draining the life out of me. I look like a pale, chunky corpse. I stupidly told dp that it would be fine for him to go to a football match in the next city, so now I'm home alone with dd and two yappy, miserable dogs (I'm dog sitting) and I'm feeling very sorry for myself.

I ended up getting mcdonalds delivered for dd (bad mum alert!) because the thought of going near the oven made my stomach turn. She ended up feeding a nugget to the dogs which would be fine, if one wasn't gluten intolerant. So now I have a fitting, vomiting dog, a dd who is furious for god knows what reason (the terrible twos are real) and a banging headache and nausea.

Does anyone else hate the beginning of pregnancy or is it just me? I know I'm actually really lucky, I just don't feel it atm!
Roll on bed time!!

Anybody?
I'm currently sat on the bathroom floor with my head in the toilet, and dd and the dogs all peering through the baby gate at me

God it sounds hellish. Can you and you dd go and watch tv in bed or do you have any grandparents or friends who can help?

Unfortunately my mum has jetted off on holiday, hence the dogs, and dp's parents are both working. If I take dd to bed then she'll just bounce round and I don't think my stomach could take the movement

Or I'll spend the entire time wrestling make up off her. Bed time is usually now but she had a long nap this afternoon (and I let her because I felt like something the dog had threw up) so I've deployed Netflix and some jigsaws. I'm sure she'll start throwing it round in anger when she can't bash a piece in to place

Oh you poor thing!

If it makes you feel any better, I’m having a really crap first trimester. Currently 10+3 and so grateful to be pregnant, but boy is it hard work. My horrendous sickness is gone (thank god) but every day at about 11am, I’m struck down with exhaustion and nausea. I have to lie down and can’t move. It’s so annoying as I can’t get on with anything and I run my own business, so feel incredibly guilty and rubbish that I can’t work a full day or do anything that I did pre-prego. I feel like a drained, pale, beached whale . Hopefully you can put your feet up soon OP and have a bit of peace tonight

@Maybbabi ahh congratulations!
At least the sickness has gone, but I sometimes think the nausea is worse than the actual sickness. You have my deepest sympathy!

Is this your first? Yeah I know what you mean about work, I've been signed off sick at the minute due to other conditions I have that pregnancy have just sent in to overdrive. I really miss it but suppose we should be thankful.

Will all be worth it in the end but god it's a hard slog. I had my scan yesterday and that's made it seem a bit worth it. Just rest and take it easy, you'll soon be running round like a headless chicken (at least if you're anything like me )

I’m so happy to be pregnant but I feel like complete poo!

The initial sickness ended for all of 2.5 seconds and I’m now in the severe nausea stage, with most food making me feel grim.

I have IBS which has decided to go in to overload and that doesn’t help. To top it off, we’ve run out of loo roll and I’ve had to send DH on an emergency run given the IBS situation.

I feel like a beached whale and would love to just hide under the covers until January!

Beyond that, I’m loving this experience! Haha

Ahh congratulations @BFPhopeful2019

Can I come hide under your covers with you until January? My bed currently has 2 dogs and a 2 year old dictator in it. On second thoughts, with the lack of loo roll, maybe not

I suffer with ibs too due to a gallbladder removal and honestly don't know what's worse, the toilet explosions or the wasted days I've spent straining (TMI). Just keep repeating 'it will all be worth it in the end.'

I had my scan yesterday so at least it feels like I can see the purpose now. Must admit, before that I didn't even feel pregnant. Just very sick and tired! But watching the little thing wriggling around lets me know there's light at the end of the tunnel. And dc1 is such a little fucker spirited child, that surely this one can't be any worse

Thank-you! Congratulations to you too! It is a really exciting time but the symptoms are just too tough at times!

We’re due around the same time! I’m 13+4 :-)

I had my scan on Monday so it all seems very real now.

No one warned me that IBS is a complete b1tch in pregnancy! It’s terrible! Thankfully, the loo roll situation has been rectified 😂...:one less thing to worry about!
