Oh God I had forgotten how awful I felt last time :-(

[santabringmeababy]

Just need to have a moan really.....
Am only 6 weeks pregnant with much wanted DC2, but yesterday the 'brick wall' of extreme exhaustion, nausea and emotional turmoil' I experienced with DS has hit again.
Lasttime I eneded up going a bit 'odd' psychologically and was not far off a Psychiatric referral, luckily for me it passed almost overnight when I got to 16ish week.

Am getting zero support as DP has swine flu (not his fault but he is not that supportive at the best of times, and awful when ill . His response to all my moans is 'well YOU wanted this baby!'

My mum lives 80 miles away and she is poorly too at the moment so cant ring her for a bit of emotional support.

I am currently housebound due to terrible weather and car having broken down, so all in all feeling low.

Thanks for reading..........

You have my utmost sympathy. I am 8 weeks pregnant with DC no. 4 and I feel unbelievably sick. In fact, I have lost half a stone already. I can't bear the thought of putting any food in my mouth and am having to force myself to eat whilst gagging, but am really mainly living on lucozade.

you have my complete sympathy. I am 8wks with dc2 and i had forgotten quite how much i hate being pg and i have it pretty easy.

I think there is quite a lot of pressure on women to be happy, serene and glowing at the mere thought of being pg, that it feels like failing when you hate every second of it! There is a lot of people on here that have suffered with antenatal depression, i hope one of them will be along soon to give you a bit more support

Oh Midori I'm sorry you are suffering too.
I think the nausea is/was the worst bit of the whole pregnancy for me last time and I'm sure it set up a cycle of anxiety which had a really awful effect on my psychological health. Am worried as the MS has struck earlier this time by nearly a month God i hope its not twins!

My sickness came earlier this time too, but i am not as sick now as i was at this stage last time. Possibly because of the Sea sickness bands, i'm sure they are the reason.

Hi Midori, poor you, I do feel sorry for you. I was 6 weeks when the nausea and extreme tiredness struck, and tbh I thought 'What have I done?!?' even though I'm als pg with much wantd DC2. I also have a rather unsupportive DH and mum lives 5 hours away! Not sure what to suggest really - jut trying to take one day at a time, and reminding yourself that there is light at the end of the tunnel. I also kept saying to myself 'you never have to do this again' which seemed to help

If it's any consolation, I did notice that the symptoms lessened more quickly this time than they did with DS - by about 5 weeks. So you might not have as far to go as you think. Make sure you come and post on here for support if you feel like its getting too much!

SORRY - not Midori - I meant OP Santabringmeababy

Hi Santabringmeababy

I'm so sorry to hear you are feeling so miserable - like you, I had totally forgotten how horrible pregnancy is! I'm seven weeks and feeling really rather awful too. I have a four year old dd who doesn't know I am pregnant yet, and tonight it makes me cry when I think of her little face this morning watching mummy hunched over the toilet. I think she thought I was dying I'm also exhausted and whislt I want to go to bed I'm also dreading it as I know then I'm going to wake up and start the horror all over again! Am I cheering you up? Sorry!! But it is horrible isn't it? I also started a new job today (I am a freelancer) which is causing me major anxiety - lots of prayers that I get through the next few weeks without vomitting on my desk! Anyway, enough about me. I really do hope you start to feel better soon and hope that all the support you get on here goes some way to making you feel less alone. xx
