I hate being pregnant

[Missbee2bee]

This probably sounds harsh as I heard preganancy is meant to be a joyous occasion...well..its not...not for me anyway. I hate it! And I dont feel guilty one but saying that. I feel terrible every single day. I havent eaten a good meal and kept it down in months. I constantly vommit 24 hours a day and feel like I have the flu 2.0. Every bad symptom of pregnancy I have got it on a huge scale. I'm bed bound but still have to go to work every morning which is now becoming very difficult for me. It's hard to explain to every person you meet what your going through and you may vommit on them at any given time. I cant live my life because of this.

I'm on my last year at university and trying to do my dissertation which is absolute hell being pregnant. Uni are supportive but it doesn't stop me feeling so terrible.

I feel awful saying this but sometimes I think is it even worth it? I feel like I've ruined my life every day and am very down about it all. I dont talk to my partner about anything as hes an idiot and incapable of having a normal conversation without going off on me and thinking I'm bullying him in some sort of way. Hes a big girl. Youd think he was the one that's pregnant at times. I havent told anyone about my pregnancy yet and tbh I really dont want to. Does anyone else feel this way or am I just a terrible person?

I never said I couldnt drink coffee because of the pregnancy? I cant drink coffee because I vommit it straight back up due to my lactose intolerance being way worse now I'm pregnant.. I just cant keep it down without being violently sick..@beau2020 is right in what she said.

I have lactose intolerance and irritable bowel syndrome so this stops me from having various medications during this pregnancy. I will not except that I cannot take anti sickness tablets. I don't agree that that's the only option they can offer me. I have my scan on Wednesday and I'm going to scream the roof down until I get some help as I was advised by 111 to go to hospital if it gets worse. I dont think this could get any worse tbh.

I just read this website and apparently they CAN offer me something else. Just turns out my doctor got her degree from a back alley carpet salesman.

I've been very lucky with pregnancy symptoms so far (14wks), worst thing has been the tiredness, but I still hate being pregnant. Not sure what it is exactly - body changes maybe? Lack of control? Anyway - it's no wonder you hate it OP. Hope you can get back to your doctor and get something that makes you feel vaguely human again - I'm trusting that it will all be worth it in the end, but in the meantime sending you a massive hug because it's shit that you're feeling so shit

OP,

Don’t be harsh on the doctor, Chances are she isn’t giving you other options due to cost of them and GPS aren’t encouraged to suggest things that are costly

I have a dairy/lactose allergy and have been on ondansatron and metoclopromide my whole pregnancy so far due to hyperemesis. I'm not sure if they contain what your allergic to but they haven't given me any side effects apart from the ondansatron giving me terrible constipation but that's the main side effect of it.
I had to go to hospital first to get it from around 7 weeks and now the gp still prescribes it to me as they know its the only thing that works so I dont have to go into hospital each time I run out.

Maybe you should call 111, or go to hospital. You have HG and should probably be on some drips to replace everything you are losing through being sick and not getting from eating.
I feel like shit (10 wks) and am utterly miserable, i hate being pregnant because of the sickness and hormones. My DD is 6 and i didn't enjoy any of my pregnancy with her.

I really hope that your sickness subsides soon and you can start feeling like yourself again x

So so sorry you're going through this
I have been hospitalised twice during this pregnancy due to dehydration from hyperemesis and by 13 weeks I was also "done". My last admission to hospital I was 7 weeks pregnant and I sent my husband home so I could ask the midwife to take me down for a termination. I felt like I wanted that or to take my own life. I've never ever felt so low. I was then put on Cyclizine and Ordensatron and it took a few weeks but I got my life back.
I'm now 20 weeks and although I feel a bit rough sometimes and quickly get tired life is good again. I've been back to work (only bank staff so not done much) I've walked my dogs and I can play with my 3 year old again.
You'll get your life back too OP although it'll never be the same again (parenthood does that 🙂)
Please persevere with medication, Ordansetron in particular helped me

Thank you everyone for your advise. I really appreciate the support. @MamaBearThius I can relate to your post so much. That's exactly how I feel. I'm sorry you felt that way it's awful. Glad you feel much better now. I have good days and bad days but the bad outweigh the good most of the time. Fingers crossed they help me at my appointment Wednesday. I'll keep posted on how it goes. I have faith. Well. I have to I suppose. I havent much else right now.

Oh. My friend came over yesterday to keep me company and I think she distracted me enough from the sickness to help me actually keep a bowl of pasta down and a bottle of water. I have not been this happy in months. I was literally crying to my fiance saying I can eat I can eat. Haha very silly i know but after being starved for months I just couldnt believe it. Oh the joys! As of this morning I'm back to feeling rubbish again but last night made me feel slightly human so that's something.

Thank you, I'm so sorry you're feeling this way now! It will soon be a shitty memory for you too, nothing can last forever.
Really pleased you had an enjoyable time with your friend, just focus on those (there will be more!)

How are you today?
