I really admire you for being able to hold a job. I know how exhausted I am, and how much the nausea messes up my life. I can barely get out of the house, especially for grocery shopping at the moment. I couldn't get out of that building full of food fast enough. ick!
Thanks I'll check out babycenter.com
Oh and it's easy for them to disparage me about being unhappy about being prego because...none of my family has hard pregnancies. Mom said the worst she ever had was some heartburn when she hit her third trimester. No gas, no vomiting, nada. My sis is on her third, and can't understand a first-time mom like me not being unable to see the light at the end of the birth canal yet. I know one woman with IBS-C when she got pregnant. But her IBS went away and never came back. She said she was a little nauseous for a few months but everything was wonderful and she can't understand why I'm not all  Of course she's also jealous and a little angry with me because she just miscarried, and she was trying to have a baby. I on the other hand had an oops. I don't blame her for being upset, she's the only one I can understand being mad at me for not being happy. Well her and my boyfriend. He's so excited about being a father that I watched him sit down with a book about prenancy week-by-week and read for hours about what our baby will look like when. He takes it personally that I'm not happy to be pregnant. I told him to give me time.
Thanks for getting it. The pain, the feeling icky, the hard to be happy when you're hanging your head over the toilet. I'm 23 in my second pregnancy. My first however ended in miscarriage. I don't think I made it quite to 5 weeks, and I think the reason I lost the baby was that all the meds I was on were NOT pregnancy-safe. I was not overly upset by the miscarriage, but my boyfriend was, he cried for weeks. I think that may have been one of the reasons we broke up too. He blamed my sickness and my meds for my problems for the miscarriage. I have suggested that we get couples therapy, but he's doesn't see anything wrong with the relationship so he doesn't want to. I'm still trying to convince him, that if he doesn't want to do it for himself he should maybe do it for us, and the baby.
I haven't been sleeping well at all either. The tiniest little things wake me up. My cat yawns I'm awake, a tiny gas bubble I'm awake, a spider starts stomping around on my nightable...ok, maybe not that bad. But close. I don't think the low-grade fever I've been running for days is helping my sleep either.
Thanks and we may just have to e-mail back and forth Lyndsey
because we're pabably going to be going through a lot of the same things at the same time.
Thanks again,
Tene
