Sick of being sick

[Kiwi23]

How do you get on with normal life

this is my 4th baby iv never been so ill I’m 12+6 and last week felt abit better but the illness has come back with a big smack in face sickness back nausea back and it’s just nocking me off my feet 6 weeks now and only had 4 days of feeling better.
I feel like I’m never going to feel normal again
my other 3 children are suffering for it my husband is being so good but work is killing me

any advice welcome

Are you taking any anti-sickness medication? I would ask your GP for some / some different ones if you already are. They should be able to find you some that can help x

Have a look at the pregnancy sickness support website. I was the same as you describe and it is AWFUL, I'm so sorry you are experiencing it! Mine started improving from 14-16 weeks (some days better than others) then at 19 weeks it got much better. I had to have 10 weeks off work and was house bound. I'm now 21 weeks and have been able to start doing normal things..out for meals, little walks etc. Hopefully it will improve sooner for you but I wanted to be honest as I remember reading so many posts about how it gets better at 12 weeks and then being so disappointed every week that I was still so unwell. Really hope you feel better soon

They give me the pins in my wrists at my midwife appointment I’m not sick ever day just feel so sick would they still give me something for nausea I’m normally on auntie anxiety meds but had to stop them because was sure if they was making me worse xx

It’s been so upsetting iv already had 4 weeks off last week was my first week back and I’m back there today and it’s be horrific I work in a fish and chip shop as well so I’m not even just sat behind a desk. I just wake up evey day hopeing to feel normal and it’s so hard when I wake up and think here we go again

I was like this with my 3rd pregnancy & it was awful… we’ve just had a shock this week to find out I’m preg again (4th) and I feel absolutely terrified that I’m going to be sick again. When did it start for you this time?

i found my 2 boys made me feel sick & nauseous where as with my girl I was actually sick - which believe it or not, was better than the constant nausea. I didn’t really find a “cure” other than mentally just trying to tell myself it’s not forever… every time it faded around 16/17 weeks for me. Forget the housework, forget “normal life” for the next month & just focus on getting through these next few weeks. It will pass 🙏🏻

ps how you feeling about having 4?! I can’t get my head around it yet x

Well iv got three girls and was only ever sick 2 times with all them and not ill for long but this time been ill sins about 5 weeks now 13 weeks. Doctors gave me some tablets today I’m sick once a day different times but feel nauseas all time.

my youngest is turning 7 next month so been a big age gap I’m so excited because we was trying but the illness is taking the joy out of it all for me this is defo my last one husband having snip after this one. Iv got my fingers crossed for you that you’re not ill bless you. I don’t know how people do this all way tho I’m hoping it starts to ease off soon

haha yes we’re exact same, no matter outcome of this, whether it’s a full term pregnancy or not, he’s going for the snip… no taking any more chances now!

just going by my experience, I think you’ll have a boy, I defo found them harder to carry & the nausea at the start was awful… I’m also one of 4 and my mum had 3 girls then a boy!!

I’ve been getting strong lines on tests but I have a weird feeling something isn’t right, I think mainly because I have 0 symptoms… I’ll be ok either way, just want to know!! Xx

I was same when I first found I was so convinced something was wrong but had my scan and everything was good how far along are you ? I didn’t get anything for first few weeks started about 6 weeks with girls didn’t start till later on

5+1 today but I’ve woken up feeling really rubbish, at first I thought symptoms kicking in but done a test & it’s not as dark and I have slight bleeding starting… my gut feeling was right. Totally ok with it as we weren’t trying so it was a massive shock!

hope your sickness eases off soon for you, it’s such a hard thing to go through, but it’ll all be worth it in the end ❤️

Aww bless you I hope everything turns out the way you want it to.
and me to fingers crossed

I’m so sorry you’re feeling rubbish. No real advice, just solidarity. I’m pregnant with my third and all of my pregnancies have been terrible for sickness. I’m almost 23 weeks and still feel sick most days. Anti sickness tablets helped alot, as did pacing myself and not overdoing things. If work is making you worse then if possible try and take some extra time off. Hoping you move past it really soon xx

Iv already had 4 weeks off work if it keeps getting worse that might be the only option starting my meds today so hopefully they will help xx
