Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Pregnancy Update... almost 11 weeks

Okay.... so I'm THRILLED that I'm pregnant. Really, I am. But I swear I've endured every freakin' pregnancy symptom that exists over the last 5 weeks!!! I've had nausea all day every day for 5 weeks now. No drugs or supplements have helped. I've now had 4 acupuncture treatments, and I thought they were helping, but yesterday and today have been really BAD days. My next appt is tomorrow (Thursday). After that, I might give up. It's very frustrating! Plus, I get headaches pretty much every afternoon, and have been for several weeks now. Tylenol doesn't work for anything. The last few days, I've started getting stomach aches, which I'm guessing might be indigestion of some sort? I don't know, but I have been burping a lot pretty much since I found out I was pregnant, so I'm guessing they're related.

The only thing I'm enjoying so far are my "new" boobs.

Why can't anything ever be simple for me? Why does everything have to be an ordeal that I must endure? Why have all my friends had easy-schmeasy pregnancies with no sickness or problems, but I've had everything possible? It's not fair! I want desperately to ENJOY this whole experience, but it's difficult when I feel like crap all the time. DH and I have had sex ONCE in the last SIX WEEKS. So he's a little frustrated too, to say the least.

Sorry, just needed to vent. Thanks for reading...
