I already have enough of being pregnant

[AdaUserName92]

I'm into my 13 weeks of pregnancy and it has been horrible. After a long time of trying we finally got pregnant and we're very happy. But this pregnancy has been so hard. I've had really bad acid reflux, nausea, and vomiting. Since week 5 I have been in agony. Week 9 I was throwing up blood because of the vomiting and stomach acid. Since week 12 the nausea and vomiting has peaked and I'm just so miserable. I can't eat or drink. I'm so worried. I can't sleep because of positions. I can't see how people have more than one pregnancy if this is how bad it gets. I'm grateful for the baby and pregnancy but I would happily transport the pregnancy in an artificial womb. How do everyone else do it? I know my other friends didn't experience this and I wish my pregnancy was like theirs. I'm really tired and emotionally drained. I really can't see this coming to an end and I don't know if I can cope all the way to the end of the pregnancy like this. I'm so desperate :((

This doesn’t sound ‘normal’. Have you been to the drs for anti sickness medication?

Yes I've been to the drs. I'm in omeprazole. Sometimes it helps a lot and sometimes it's not so effective. The nausea is all day and draining. I could vomit once a day sometimes, maybe twice. But yesterday was the worst as it was up to 6 times. Some of it is caused by the stomach acid. I'll be seeing the doctor again soon. But they don't seem worried or think its abnormal. They were concerned about my stomach acid because I have history of stomach ulcer so that's why I'm on omeprazole

I think you need to seek a second opinion as it sounds more like borderline hyperemesis. I've suffered severely and been in hospital over 20 times for it in my 24 weeks of pregnancy so far along with over a handful of different medications. Please dont suffer in silence hun.

A lot of people who suffer from Hyperemesis do not choose to do it again, I don't think I will. You may find it helpful to find the support thread on here, I found some comfort in it when pregnant. Good luck, it may not last the whole pregnancy - mine didn't

I had nausea and occasionally vommed in my first 13 weeks then I had a particularly bad day and then it pretty much went away! 16 weeks now you may start to feel a lot better soon

Thanks ladies. I hope I feel better soon. Definitely will be seeing the dr again about HG.
