Only halfway and struggling

[Pastnowfuture]

I'm 21 weeks and I'm already feeling desperate for this pregnanacy to be over. I have hypermesis gravidarum and I'm still being sick everyday. Food repulses me and when I do eat my stomach feels super uncomfortable. I'm struggling to sleep and I'm permanently exhausted. People keep saying 'enjoy the pregnancy' but I have no idea how anyone could enjoy feeling like this.

I thought the second trimester was meant to be the best of the three but I'm utterly miserable. I want this baby and I love him but I feel like a terrible person because I do nothing but moan to my husband. I know I should be grateful for being pregnant but I honestly hate it.

I'm sorry to hear you're feeling so rubbish. I don't really have any advice but didn't want to read and run! It will pass- it feels like a lifetime but before long you'll have your beautiful baby in your arms and the difficulties of pregnancy will be a distant memory! I'm speaking from experience I had a very difficult pregnancy with DC2 not in the same way as you but I had severe liver problems and literally couldn't wait for pregnancy to be over. Good luck.

Thank you @fizzybubblepop
I guess I was relying on the 2nd trimester being the end of my sickness woes but I know everyone's pregnancy is different and once he arrives all this will have been worth it.

I feel you girl, I have HG and I'm only 16 weeks and it feels like it's been a lifetime already. It's awful isn't it. I brought one of those heartbeat teddies and it consoles me when I'm sat miserable.
On my positive days I tell myself 9 months is only a short amount of time when it means you'll get your little boy for the rest of your life!
Keep fighting on and keep being strong, you're past the half way mark now too!

@Pastnowfuture I completely feel your frustration. I too am suffering with hyperemesis and I just want my little boy in my arms and the pregnancy to be over. I'm not enjoying it at all and just want to be done now. I'm nearly 25 weeks but I'm literally counting down the days and weeks and wish it would go faster.
Anyone who enjoys their pregnancy I wish that was me but being sick, nausea and total exhaustion not being able to function properly is just awful and I'm so done.

I'm 34 weeks now, I'm massive and tired but I still feel a lot better than I did at 21 weeks! I found the first trimester and a lot of the second really crappy and actually I've been better in the late second/early third so far. So don't lose hope, you still might see an improvement before baby arrives :)

Thank you @abbs1 I wouldn't wish HG on anyone but it is comforting to know I'm not the only one feeling this way.

@RealMermaid Wow. It's great to hear a story of hope. Fingers crossed I find the third trimester a little easier.

I'm 31 weeks and had HG up until about 27 weeks so I know how you feel. But honestly the last few weeks have been great. I feel so much better. Hang in there, it will get easier x

Oh @CupCupGoose it is such a relief to hear that. I honestly believed it could only get worse.
