Hyperemisis with a toddler- can't cope

[Ploddingalong679]

I'm only 6weeks pregnant with my second HG pregnancy. This time around I have a nearly 2 year old. I just don't think I can do this. If you've done it, how? I've already been in hopsital for fluids and meds and I'm taking meds at home but it's not enough and I'm sick all day long. It's only going to get worse. I was in and out of hospital constantly with my first.

To make matters worse my son is starting to favour my mum now, as she has been looking after him. He calls out for nana and not mummy :( he cries when she leaves the room and doesn't want to stay with me. I feel like I'm losing one baby to have another.

I feel so usefull but I'm just lay being sick or head spinning and feeling sick and I'm only 6 weeks pregnant!!

I wanted a sibling for my son and another child to complete our family, but I'm thinking whether I can continue with this.

My mum is only here to help me for another week or two and then I'm on my own with my son. How do I get through this?

I’m so sorry you feel this bad. It is truly horrendous. Honestly I spent 6 weeks bedbound and my husband had to do everything. Do you have a partner, or the resources to pay for a nanny / more childcare? We also paid for extra nursery days for several months. Sending you love, it is so so tough

I’m sorry it’s so tough. I was where you are when I was expecting #2. I child proofed my living room, put out a load of toys and lay on the couch while my toddler putzed around.

When you’re in the throes, you feel like it’s never going to get better, but it does.

Take Or pay for any help You can. And I sincerely hope you feel better soon.
