I'll be 14 wks on Friday and this m/s is hanging on bad. I feel tired, sick, frustrated, sad, still can't do anything. It doesn't matter what I eat or how I sleep at night. I just can't shake it. I'm really getting bummed out. I'm usually well on my way to "recovery" by now. Anyone else still sick?

Raising hand....

Yep, still very much going through MS and I definitely wish that I were not!

It's a huge reason that I have hardly posted at all here since the very beginning when I was still in the honeymoon phase of the first trimester. ((Hugs)) I hope both of us feel better soon!

 

[ekblad9]

So you're expecting #7 too? My m/w says I'm down and out still because of my body wearing down and just taking care of the little ones is stressful. Maybe she's right. I'm starting to get really depressed about this, though.

Yukky...

I'm 14 weeks too (We're due the same day!!) and I still don't feel quite right. I thought the nausea was gone, but it came back, and I'm having headaches too, and just SOOOOO tired... I know the last time, I always felt worse when I was running around too much. Well, the last time, I had the luxury of crashing whenever I needed, because I didn't have a child to take care of... I just wanted to keep going despite that it wasn't good for me to do so. Now, I have DS to take care of, and I can't always crash, at least not for as long as I want, so I'm sure that's not helping.

I would guess with 6 to care for, even though your oldest are able to at least get themselves a snack if they need one, must really be hard... are you able to get a nap in anywhere?

I get depressed too, I wonder how I'm going to make it through this and if I'll ever have more children... sometimes I think this is it because I'm 37 and I felt so horrible when I was pg with DS, and it's hard now because he's so little... ugh

I can't seem to express to dh how terribly depressing this is. I know he works hard all day and now comes home to a so so dinner, messy house, and laundry, plus I usually hide in the bedroom for the evening but I want him to know that I hate this. I pride myself on being a *good* mother and wife and this just stinks.

 

[anabellee]

my m/w said that ms can continue to 14-16 weeks before letting up. it does make sense that you may be worn down from your other kids though. i know i'm exhausted an i only have one toddler to look after

 

[ibusymomto5]

Is it super hot where you're at? Because although I'm feeling over the first trimester slump, this extreme heat is depressing me and causing me to not want to exercise which in return is affecting my overall feeling of well being and energy level. I do much better if I get out regularly, but it's just too hot!

 

[ekblad9]

The heat does bother me alot. The humidity even worse. I just don't leave the house. That makes me feel even worse because there's so much to do here that I can't get done b/c I feel sick and the little ones don't allow it. I guess I'm just a mess, LOL.

 

[yonit]

Yeah, I think the heat has been the biggest factor for me as well. I am actually feeling a lot better pregnancy wise. But anytime I am outside for a period of time, I feel completely yucky afterwards.

We went to a BBQ on Sunday and I was outside most of the day. But it wasn't too hot that day at all. It was actually a gorgeous day and it felt great being outside - trust me if it was too hot, I would have gone inside. I was so exhausted after that though - and really all I did was sit around eating and chatting. I was asleep by 8PM and slept until about 5AM and then felt really off all day on Monday.

I also now have a miserable cold, and I hardly ever get sick. So my immunity is definitely a bit off as well. Which definitely stinks. I finally start to feel better and then get sick!

I'm glad to see this thread, you're describing how I feel exactly. I thought the m/s was waning, but the past 7 or so days have been awful, it's really hot here, my house is a mess (and everything smells funny to me), my kids are behaving like caged animals tearing up my house, DH is working long hours and I know it's hard for him to come home to the mess, and all I ever want to do is sleep. Oh, and my head hurts just about every other day.

:

I'm 13 weeks right now. I keep thinking if I can survive until the end of Aug, the weather will cool down and I will stop puking and life will get better.

I feel like such a whiner.

Hope everyone feels better soon.

 

[ekblad9]

Yes - caged animals - that describes my children to a T. I feel bad for them and everyone involved and I am so not cooking tonight. I just want to go hide in my room as soon as dh gets home.

 

[mamabear&babybear]

I had to drag this off the second page because about an hour ago I uke . With dd I was feeling so much better by this time. I know I'm not nearly as bad off as others, but I'm still growing tired of not feeling well. Things are so much harder right now because my dh is out of town. Just had to get that of my chest.

[timneh_mom]

Mama Bear... I'm really sorry!!! I have been queasy on and off this past week too and I'm 14 weeks. I'm just getting really tired of feeling like crap all the time! If it's not the nausea, it's headaches and just being plain tired no matter how well I sleep. Ugh.

It's SO hard when DH is away... Hope he gets back very soon!!

 

[illinoismommy]

Maybe you ovulated late.... I'm 12 1/2 weeks and its not gone for me either.... but I know I am a late ovulator so the baby is really a bit younger than "average"

 

[ekblad9]

I haven't felt overly queasy the last two days but it's kind of underlying. Now I have terrific headaches.

At least I'm not sick to my stomach. I was able to get some laundry done this a.m, bake some bread, and make dinner in the crockpot. That felt awesome even if I was in my pj's all day.
