Anyone else cranky about feeling sick?

[pinky]

Some days are better than others, but today has been a doozy! It's such a mystery to me why some days I feel not-so-bad but other days--like today--I basically want to curl up in a ball and whimper from the nausea.

I was wondering if one reason the board has been quiet is that I haven't been the only one feeling like cr*p!

We are leaving for the beach tomorrow--for which I am very grateful--but I have no earthly idea how I'm going to get us ready to go.

Hope everyone else is feeling better than me!

Until this week, I was positively cheerful about being sick, because I had such worries about loosing this babe.

Obviously I'm gaining confidence because I started to find it a little bit tiresome. Yesterday, it was more like "Okay this is not cute anymore" The worst of it is that when it's going on I just want to lay still and doing nothing, but it's moving around and eating that make it better.

Must get motivated!

Yes, I'm grumpy about it. Grrrr. I had it till 24 weeks last time, surely I could have missed out this time.
I also have those strangely variable days, some days I'll throw up 4 times and feel awful all day, others I just throw up once and feel sort of ok.
Grrrrr. It better not last as long as last time.

Yes, MS has hit me HARD, and I feel like crap all day and all night. I can barely sit in front of this computer that's why I haven't been posting. I see others are in the same situation. Whats really hard is that all I want to do is curl up into a ball and stay in bed, but I have an almost 4 year old who wants me to do everything all day and it's driving me nuts. It's so hard to play when ever time I open my mouth I think I'm gonna puke again.... uggg.... this too shall pass *thinks positive*

I am not so much cranky as I am just sick and tired of being sick and tired. It seems so terrible to complain when I have been trying so hard to get pregnant and I am so worried about miscarrying but I am having a really hard time keeping up with the other kids and all my other responsibilities.

I am whipped. I was up this morning washing dishes and throwing up the whole time. The dishes are left over from the night before because I was too tired to wash them last night and
I have Girl Scouts coming this afternoon and I have no idea what I am going to do with them.

Yes! very cranky about gross out day in and day out! Lethargic, indecissive, unmotivated, etc.. feel guilty i'm not nourishing baby enough .. all proteins make me feel sick.. just seem to want oragnes and an occassional sald. cupcakes, candy. (thanks easter bunny for leaving all those malt balls around). some say protein staves off nausea, but i can't stomach it. some say the sugar craving is really a protein craving in disguise.. hopeing this will pass soon! it feels really debilitating. so distracted by sicko feelings, can't get much of anything done...
thanks for letting me complain

[jecaly]

ach.

i actually felt a lot better yesterday, and only feel a little sick today, and of course i'm *concerned* about that, since i'm only at nine weeks. ah well, i know symptoms are supposed to come and go, and i should just be thankful that i'm functional.

cool washcloths on the foreheads of all you guys!

I liked it at first because it was evidence I was pregnant, but now I'm so over it. I just can't keep up with my toddler who always wants me to do things with him and pick him up. I feel like a bad mother because I would rather just be curled up in bed. I no longer enjoy food.
I can't wait for the second trimester, and I'll be really grumpy if the nausea persists then.
Last pregnancy I was lucky and only had mild sickness on and off for a few weeks. Feeling so sick this time has caught me off guard somewhat.

Thank you for starting this thread. I thought I was going crazy! It's not that I am sick to my stomach, but my allergies and a cold have had me absolutely run down and miserable. I almost wish that I was sick instead of having these allergies! Last night I slept a total of four hours--and I was sitting up on the couch the whole time. I'm coughing so much that I throw up. No chest congestion, but nasal drain that tickles my throat and makes me cough.

Plus we moved this weekend and I got sick-sick (cold) and was rendered almost useless. I have no energy and feel depressed! This pg has whacked my emotions out more than any of my others.

Thanks for the vent.

Off to bed--hopefully for the night.

So today I set a new record for this pregnancy and threw up five times. Yay!

[Megamama]

Yep...cranky is a good word for it. I feel like a harridan constantly complaining with my sour tummy while the logical side says, this is a good thing..a good sign the baby is healthy. Since I'm overweight, I know baby will have plenty of mommy fat to eat off before starving too.

I'm just down and cranky and today my little boy is sick for only the 2nd time in his short life..so I'm going to try to not complain anymore...

[Seeking Refuge]

I also have plenty of mommy fat for babe to last awhile although between ds and sprout, I am losing some of it.
I have to get myself up and going this is just ridiculous. I sent dh to the Vitamin Hut for soy protein powder and I am going to choke a smoothy down tonight if it kills me. I make one with raspberries, rice milk and wheat germ that I think I can handle.
I'll let you know if it helps.

I haven't really had any "morning sickness" yet(I usualy don't)
but, what I have had are my sinus headaches--they can get pretty bad at times--with all the extra blood volume going on and all,your sinus' do get a bit inflamed and for myself,its just not a good thing
I have chronic sinusitis and allergies*sigh*hoping it will lighten up a bit soon!

[maria423]

Yes, cranky about the constant nausea, and feeling guilty about it.

I hate to complain about anything pregnancy-related, because I feel SOOOO lucky and grateful to be pregnant again, and to have gotten pregnant so easily. I had a mc before having my dd, and I know there are countless women out there who dream about pregnancy and morning sickness and everything else. So I try hard not to be disgruntled about such a wonderful miracle.

But sometimes, I just feel so cranky about it!!!

Ugh. It felt good to get that off my chest.

[momsgotmilk4two]

Yes! I'm just so tired of being sick and tired. I shouldn't complain because I haven't even thrown up, it's just this constant naseous feeling and fatigue. Really makes it hard to have patience and be a good mommy to my little ones, especially since dh has evidently picked this time to start working late every day I really hope it passes quickly.

[BoobyJuice]

Oh momsgotmilk4two, I had to laugh because I could have written that. In fact it's what I would have written if you hadn't.
<b>I'm just so tired of being sick and tired. I shouldn't complain because I haven't even thrown up, it's just this constant naseous feeling and fatigue. Really makes it hard to have patience and be a good mommy to my little ones</b>
(now I cna't figure out how to make the new format do quotes : and the old way of bolding doesn't seem to work either) Anyway, mine two are also little (Sept 00, and Nov 02) and really hard to keep up with. I haven't been sick - at least not morning sickness - but I'm naseous all the time and really tired. That and I have these migraines that are so bad they're making me throw up. My 3 yo spend all day "play with me, play with me, play with me" and my 1 yo wants to be carried everywhere. Mommy just wants to curl up and hide.

I am so ready for this to pass. I'm already 12 weeks and it isn't getting better. I'm not so much grumpy about being sick as just plain GRUMPY!
