Misery loves company  

post #1 of 12
Thread Starter 
Okay, so I hope none of y'all are miserable, but for those of us who are, let's have a bitchfest, 'kay?

This pregnancy sucks. I feel really guilty, but I am SO *HATING* being pregnant, already. Don't get me wrong. I am amazingly grateful. It only took around 6 months this time, and I feel so blessed to be expecting another little miracle. I truly was not expecting to be so sick. I had practically no sickness with my first two girls, so I REALLY believed I was just one of those lucky women who didn't get it. WRONG! I wake up OK. But if I try to get up, or to eat, or stay in bed without eating, I start to feel ill. Gagging randomly, nausea, and if I eat the wrong thing (or try to), vomiting. It lasts all day. With supreme effort, I try to get my kids out of the house every day. I started crying on the way to the grocery store yesterday, thinking, "OMG. I have another month or more of this!"

Then there is the fatigue. The debilitating, unending, unwavering weariness. My poor family. For the first time in ages, my dh ran out of socks, underwear AND towels at the same time. All this, on his first week of work. Which brings me to another complaint: How much does it suck that his hours have suddenly changed from 11-6 to 8:30-8:00? Not only is he gone early in the morning, I have no one to con into cooking for me.

On the bright side of things, I didn't have to night-nurse Nova the past few nights, and I didn't throw up, or even gag once today. If I'm lucky, my pregnancy sickness will go away. Preferably to someone else who really wants to be pregnant, like Adina or Alexis. (However, the resident noodle must remain in my uterus, and a seperate noodle for each of the affore mentioned ttc'ers. )

Okay, I'm done, you go! (I feel so much better now!)

I am feeling really, really sick too. No throwing up, just unending near-puking feeling! We are having a SEVERE laundry problem too and opening the frig. or going into a grocery store is just awful! I was sick with all of mine, but I think this is the worst! I am so sad reading how you feel--because I KNOW how you feel!

Sorry

I do know how you feel. With my previous pregnancies, I was sick all day long everyday...and God forbid if I had to wake to go to the bathroom...because I would feel sick then too...and have a very difficult time getting back to sleep.

This pregnancy is different in that I have had some nausea, but it hasn't been lasting all day long. It may just be later in coming this time. It concerns me a little, but I keep telling myself that every pregnancy is different!

Not really "throwing up" sick, just lots of nausea and so tired too.

But the really wacky thing is I am so excited to be sick : I was pretty much this same way with my 2 successful pgs and not with my 2 mc - so every time I want to throw up - I just feel somehow reassured that maybe this time all will be well.

If I could just get past the gagging toothbrush incident every morning....

Oh, I'll certainly come to your party! I'll bring crackers, lemon juice, and a smoothie for some fun . I feel almost constantly on the verge of nausea much of the day. Very little appetite for anything. I'm trying to make what I can eat the highest quality that I can.

I've fortunately had a couple of really good afternoons--although I get a bit nervous when I feel too good! While we are absolutely thrilled to have another one on the way, the timing is fairly awful. I have to finish and defend my doctoral dissertation by the beginning of September. Nausea and fatigue are so helpful and inspirational! I'm soooooo tired! I just want to hide out and nap.

I love the idea of passing on the m/s to friends over at TTC. Comes with the Baby Dust :Puke

I hope that you all feel better soon!

Thank you for posting this!! I tried for 20 month to have this baby (our 2nd) and between the nauseau and the constant fatigue, I wonder if I can make it. My poor dd is getting so little attention, I'm no fun at all. My dh has been picking up so much of the slack and then some (to add to the fun mix our sub-pump broke yesterday and we woke up to a flooded basement, which is still a clean-up in progress). And now I have a cold that has given me a sore throat, headache and general body aches. Poor me! Poor me! Poor me!!

OK, that's enough. Thanks! I feel a little better!

I know what ya mean. I've been pretty nauseous this pg so far. I crave foods that are bad for me and just cannot stomach my salads and veggies anymore. I've been eating stuff like mint chocolate chip ice cream and fried chicken. Stuff I normally don't even eat. I'm destined to be 500 lbs by the time this pg is completed. To top it off, our A/C is broken and today was about 96 degrees. I am sticky, warm and neauseated. YUCK!

Thanks for that, I feel alot better....

Can I join you?! I am SICK!!! And tired. exhauseted, really. I am also in pain from my pubic bone seperating or whatever happens to my poor pubic/back area when I am pregnant. ***AND*** everyone in my family has had a stomache virus for the past week, so not only do I have morning sickness, but I am listening and cleaning up everyone's puke!!! Sam and I haven't had it yet(knock wood), but I know it's coming. <sigh> I really do want this baby, but is it horrible to want to fast forward to December??? The sad thing is this will be my last baby...I so wanted to revel in my pregnancy. But with three kids, m/s, nursing my 17 month old, and pubic pain...is that really possible?

BTW~Can I request no more puking smilies until the first trimester is over!!!??? :LOL

I would sigh but it might make puke

This weekend kicked off the feeling like total crap. At first my symptoms were mild and would come and go and frankly i just wanted to feel bad so I could feel like my baby was real and surviving...needless to say I feel like throwing up, I feel bloated, and i am so tired i spent most of yesterday walking around crying about how I would possiably be able to go to work.

On top of how bad I feel I didn't put my parking brake on when I go to work and rolled right into a large and I am sure expensive shrub, which my boss and I will "look at together when she gets home". I have been fighting back tears b/c everything makes me cry.

Thank you for letting me rant. :

ugh, i can't stomach veggies either i so want to eat right and i know this is a critical time in the baby's development, but what good is it to eat the veggies if they're just going to come right back up? i've been craving salt too. but i'm eating lots of fruit so i guess that's something....

nannymom, sorry about the bush! that really stinks. i've had preggo brain for a while now too. i catch myself about to do really dumb things, like dump a glass of water on my pasta :LOL or put dirty dishes and silverware in the refridgerator and the food in the sink. and my head feels so fuzzy


but all the symptoms are very reassuring that everything is developing in my uterus

and i second the refrain from the use of sick smileys! not good for my queazy tummy!

I feel you pain. I have been getting fuzzy and doing stupid stuff. The co-workers probably think I'm off my nut (no one knows I preggo yet) :LOL I gagged on my toothbrush this morning...and it was barely in my mouth! How am I suppose to brush my tongue??? And the "I cannot get comfortable to sleep" has begun already. I was awake for three hours in the middle of the night last night...sigh.

same here! i was surprised a few nights ago that my hips are already sore. i actually stuck a pillow between my knees!!! i thought i had at least a few months before that point, but i guess not. i'm feeling wider too. i think that's why my pants are feeling so tight lately. i guess my body's thinking "woohoo, we're pregnant again! i remember what to do, i'm going to get a head start!" :LOL
