Nothing but hugs and hair pats. It can be so hard on those days when pregnancy really wears you down. I like to Google "kids meeting their baby sibling" on days like this... It helps remind me of the outcome. I hope you start feeling better quickly, and that tomorrow is better!
I am so sorry. It sucks so bad. I would definitely call your ob and get on some meds. I didn't feel 100% on them, but at least I wasn't puking all the time. Big hugs.

Hugs. I'm laying on our bed with the "about to go run to the bathroom" shivers/twinges after just putting dd down. Some moments I think, wtf did we do. But I remember how much joy she brings to my life so it will all be fine. This pregnancy is kicking my ass. I was so blissfully happy the first time, I thought puking was adorable.
Sorry you're having a rough time. I feel your pain - I had a very sick first tri, and this is my first pregnancy so I didn't know what to expect. The first three months took some of the excitement away because I was always throwing up or exhausted. I can't imagine how much more challenging it must be to feel so sick AND have another child to care for. At least for me, I just had to make it through the work day. It totally turned around in second tri, and I hope that is the case for you - there is a light at the end of the tunnel! I would ask your doctor for something - unisom and B6 made a huge difference for me. It wasn't 100% magic, but it definitely helped me through those weeks.
I'm so sorry you're feeling badly. Pregnancy is so much harder with another child around, and it's hard enough as it is. I really hope that you're able to find relief soon.
And it definitely is worth it! That sweet little baby that you're growing is going to be just as amazing as his/her older sibling Now that I'm further along, I love to see DS pat my belly and say "baby!" It's so sweet, and makes me even more excited about this baby.
I'm sorry. Just keep your eye on second tri. Granted it took until about 17 weeks for me to stop throwing up every day, but I'm 28 weeks and feeling awesome unless I do something stupid like take heavy metal to the recycling yard.
Hope you start feeling better soon! It is definitely tough, and I've had a couple days of thinking what in the world was I thinking so far. The good outweighs the bad though, maybe not right this minute....but soon enough
Hugs. I've really been struggling too. Almost 16 weeks and still throwing up and exhausted. It is so much harder this time having to take care of DD as well so I never get any real rest. Hopefully you start feeling better soon!

I'm sorry. I'm almost 10 weeks and I've been eyeing the second trimester since week 5. I have a handful of Diclegis pills as a sample form my OB and I treat them like gold. My food bills are sky high even though I barely eat because I cannot handle the grocery store and I've been eating convenience food, fast food, and takeout when I can eat. I have another child too and I keep looking at her and thinking, "I would do this for her and I will love this one that much too." But it sucks. I guess I'm just rambling and saying I really feel for you. I hope today is going better too.
I will say being pg with a toddler was insanely hard for me. Now that the baby is here it is both harder and better. Just different challenges, but sooooo much better than being pregnant.
