[sob]..I am 12 weeks pg and have such bad sickness ,I don't want to eat because it makes me sick or gives me stomach ache which has me sat on the loo for 20 mins .
DP is been kind and understanding most of the time but when he is tired from work he has been known to make snide comments about the only pg woman in the world and the house not been very tidy .
I have had 6 pregnancies but never has the sickness been so bad ,I wouldn't mind so much if I was just sick then felt ok but its constant .
I am been silly getting upset over it but I can't even open the bloody fridge door anymore it smells not to anyone else its just the fridge smell that sets me off I have just thrown up after opening it to chuck some stuff out while dp is doing the food shop .

I feel like a whiner but I am been a crap mum and girlfrien dp has been and done the xmas shopping this morning ,then taken dd to pick up new glasses and onto a food shop .

Someone come and pat my back for me and make me feel better .

FIVEPLUSBUMP I am going through the same at the moment so really feel for you. No-one can understand quite how debilitating the sickness can be, and also the psychological effects of being sick day in day out are underrated by family etc I think.
I'm 8+6 in in what tends to be a 8-10 week peak for me (5th pregnancy, 3dds, 1mmc). My dh has finally realised I think that we have to pull together on this, and he's been the most supportive this time of all the pregnancies. The house is a pig sty, clothes/dishes everywhere, and to his credit has stepped up a notch this time.
Does your sickness tend to get better after first trimester? If not would you consider getting meds from GP? Could you show your dp some of the very good websites on HG? They often have advice for family etc.
Hold on in there, a day at a time, it will pass at some point. You're not alone

I know where you are coming from! I am 40 weeks + 2 days on my first pregnancy, and I had such bad sickness up to about 17 weeks then it went off for a while and over the last couple of weeks it has randomly reappeared out of nowhere!

It is horrible, but keep telling yourself it will probably pass.

Your DP will just have to get used to it! It does sound like he's being helpful some of the time?

The house can be tidied another day! It was laundry for me - I just couldn't face sorting, washing, drying, ironing, putting away... it was really stressful because I knew eventually we would run out of clean clothes! . DP suggested getting someone to do the ironing and even though it was one tiny thing, it made so much difference!

If you've got 5 DCs already (guessing from your name?) I am NOT surprised it's a struggle to keep on top of it all.

Big (non-MN type) hugs and another pat on the back.

Hope you feel better soon!

poor you. I had awful morning sickness with dd1 and it was debilitating, and it was very hard not to become depressed from being constantly ill. No one can really understand unless they've experienced it.

I did take meds, motilium, but it didn't really help and I just felt guilty taking it.

you poor thing. you have my complete sympathy. bad morning sickness is horrendous - and very few people really understand unless they've gone through it or seen how bad it can get. you must look after yourself - it's a real illness! what helped me was....i) going to the doctor and getting medication, it really works and won't harm your baby; ii)acupuncture - don't know where you are based but if you look up pregnancy acupuncture on google you'll find someone local and iii)keeping a food/sickness diary. I think the latter only helped because it distracted me to be honest - but was good at helping me to see when I was best able to keep something down.

I could only eat coco pops and marmite crisps for about 5 months of this pregnancy. better now but you must look after yourself - being tired definitely makes it worse and it's really important you try to keep hydrated.

Also try not to care about the house...and try not to hit anyone who suggests eating ginger biscuits (or dry crackers - I was being sick 15 times a day and couldn't keep a glass of water down but got lots of this kind of advice). Look after yourself

Thankyou its just been such a shock to the system this time ,although I have had MS before never ever this bad .

I actually walk round with a bucket because I can't always make it to the loo in time .

I am going to mention it to my midwife if it hasn't got better in a couple of weeks and I am very interested in looking into the accupuncture .

I know what you mean about the ginger biscuits they do nothing except make you feel more sick .

I would say rush out and get multiple birth insurance however I looked it at before I got pregnant with my 4th, I was 33 no history of twins and the premium came back at £400 for £2k cover so was considered I high risk at that age with only 3 pregnancies to date!!!!
