im having such a miserable freaking day. i keep on getting the spins when i get up and try to do anything. dh and i are starting a business, i was down there this morning trying to get some things done and had to walk around the block to pick up some papers. felt like i was going to pass out. made it back. dh is starving, wants to go get food. great, i havent been able to eat much all day and i think it might be causing the dizziness/exhaustion. forgot to mention that i have hyperemesis and am on zofran and have wicked 24/7 heartburn that also makes me puke... eating is kind of a big ordeal. the only thing that sounds good is indian food. its so rare that something sounds yummy. DH tells me that he will call me when he finds a restaurant. doesnt call, comes back with food for us to share. by this point im shaking with hunger. he brought back indian food. chicken masala.... that's very spicy tomato based curry. there is no way i can eat a spicy tomato sauce with this heartburn. so i sit there and cry and watch him eat, and the hunger turns to nausea. he asks whats wrong and i tell him that i just didnt sleep well... i dont want to admit that im crying over curry, and i dont want him to feel bad. so he offers to drive me home. the fridge is empty, and im sitting here swallowing hunks of string cheese with water like pills to try to get something in my stomach and i keep on puking it up. i went too long without eating this morning and now im just queezy, not hungry in the slightest but my body is starving and i cant make myself eat.
god i hate this. i wish i could just have a normal pregnancy and eat food and gain weight. i cant believe that im crying this much over a plate of curry. i think im just exhausted and starving and its making me irrational. i wanted to eat that stupid curry so badly. i wish i could just have a baby and skip the pregnancy part.
Crashing, I saw this in new posts. I only have heartburn in pregnancy when I am eating dairy. For the first 25 weeks of this pregnancy I had to be dairy free because my then nursling is allergic to milk. I did not have a single episode of heartburn. Now that I am back eating dairy again I get it, but only after I have had dairy that day. I have been eating really spicy food this entire pregnancy. I put a ton of crushed red pepper flakes on my breakfast every morning with no issues. So, perhaps you want to try cutting down on the dairy and try eating the spicy food, it might help. Hope you get some relief.
Awh, I know the feeling. My DH has brought back food for me too that I was unable to eat and I've out of an emotional fit over food cried about it too. He'll ask what's wrong and why I'm not eating, and I'll just say I don't feel well, I'm grouchy, or tired. I don't want to make him feel bad for bringing back something I can't eat either. But, if it's the only thing you can keep down you really should let him know, so that he can bring you back something you can eat when he comes home, or maybe he can run it to you really quick. Not good if you're not eating
, so just try to talk to em' about it, so you're not miserable and throwing up.
I've had HG for every pregnancy, and it's truly a miserable experience. I'm actually beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel right now- and had an appetite for the first time in ages today.
Of course, I woke up last night and this morning throwing up, but I'll take the good times as they come.
Oh- the other thing 've found that really helps is making sure the fridge is *stocked* with a variety of foods, as I never know what will or won't appeal to me at any given moment. Safe bets are fresh fruit (melons especially,) raw veggies, homemade bread, english muffins, and bagles and cream cheese.
Be honest with him - Indian sounds fabulous, but you can't handle anything spicy right now. There's plenty of Indian food that's not spicy, and he needs to pamper you. Ask him to stop and pick up something not spicy.
For myself, I'm not having the slightest bit of trouble with spicy, but a single slice of bread will give me heartburn for a good day and a half. Chances are good that something is triggering it, it's just a matter of figuring out what your trigger is.
I too had a no good rotten day which ended with a construction team that caused $1500 worth of damage to my home while they were trying to "fix" something
thanks everybody. i went and got a chicken salad and im feeling pretty okay now and not puking anymore.
i wish i knew what my heartburn trigger was... i know that almost any liquid will set it off and i cant really avoid drinking liquids so i might just be screwed
.
i try to put snacks in my purse and always have safe foods around but this time i didnt.... you'd think id be better at preventing these hunger/nausea/emotional meltdowns 29 weeks into my second HG pregnancy!
