Morning sickness/nausea with toddler

[Bettymissy]

Will I ever feel better?

I think I'm going to burst if someone else tells me to eat ginger, it's relentless. 7 weeks on Saturday and I haven't left the house this week because of how poorly I am. I feel so much guilt for my son who's 2.

It sounds extreme but I'm getting so depressed over it that Im not sure I can carry on with the pregnancy. Absolutely hating life, I hated being pregnant with my son and I hate it even more this time.

Please someone give me hope

I was curled up in bed nauseous, tired and cramping for weeks 6-10. Started to feel like I was coming back to life week 10 when the placenta takes over from hormones, and just reached week 13 and feel so excited to be giving my DC a sibling again! It does get better, hold in there.

I’ve been here and it was horrific. Seriously considered termination it was so hard. My 2 year old watched a stupid amount of cbeebies. There are HG threads on here which are helpful - anti sickness medication helped me get through. Take any help you can get with the toddler. Know it will pass eventually! I felt so guilty but my eldest seems none the worse for it now.

I'm in my second trimester now but the first was rough. What worked for me was to just eat constantly. The second I woke up i ate, snacks anytime I felt a hunger pang plus all usual meals. Getting hungry made me feel horrendous so that helped.

Do easy things with your toddler where you can just sit. Watch TV, read on the sofa, playdough, drawing, play with oats or rice krispies on the kitchen floor. Don't feel guilty :) also, can toddlers dad take them out on weekends to give you a break?

I'm in the exact same boat at 7w5d and a 2 year old boy. Hated it last time and hating it this time. Tractor tom on YouTube has been parenting today :(

Get to the GP and ask for medication - they will first try you on Cyclizine but if that doesn’t work ask for Xonvea, it’s been approved specifically for pregnancy.

I suffered awfully for MONTHS, I wish I’d gone earlier, I feel like I wasted months of mine and my toddlers life. You might have to push for Xonvea if Cyclizine doesn’t work as apparently it’s expensive to prescribe.

Unfortunately I can no longer go on with the pregnancy as it's really effecting my mental health. I miss my son and being with him. Ive learnt my lesson and will not be having another child as I cannot be miserable again.

Oh you poor thing. Yes, you will feel better but in the meantime please speak to your doctor about trying meds (or different meds if you already have!).

My son is watching loads of Bluey, colouring in, I lie next to him on the floor on a big cushion while he plays with blocks etc. Try not to feel guilty, they're happy and they won't remember this phase in the long term x

Have you tried any meds?

I'm on stematil and odansetron but apparently xonvea is amazing. My dr wouldn't prescribe it though as she'd never heard of it but it seems to be widely used.

Sorry, I posted my comment before this loaded.

If you don't want to continue that is obviously your right to choose but I'd strongly suggest speaking to your doctor about meds and any other support available if you haven't.

I'm sorry it's so rotten for you 😔

I felt exactly the same, please do try to get some medication if you want to.

I've just had an abortion, sickness and nausea has stopped and my mental health is so much better. Thank God that women in the UK have choices, I am so grateful.

So glad you're feeling better 💜
