Vent - Today is a terrible first trimester day

[karebear219]

I am greatful because I am hoping since I feel this crappy, it hopefully means the baby is healthy.

Anyway I feel awful. I just need to vent somewhere. I even took meds this morning. I felt better for a while but started feeling crappy again about 10:30 am. I am just so nauseaus. Now the fatigue has kicked in too, so I am working from bed. Sitting up was proving too impossible. I am hoping I don't fall asleep. I am going to try to eat something here at about 1pm. I am so grateful my current job allows me to WFH so I can do this. I can't imagine working in the branch like I used to. 

Any way sorry to complain. I can't wait until I at least get my energy level back.

Girl vent on! nausea sickness is the worst no matter what the circumstance. Have you tried doing the lots of little meals? I've heard for some it helps keep the nausea at bay, but it can also be hard when nothing sounds good lol. Either way while like you said I hope it means good things that little baby is good and growing, I hope its subsides just as quickly as it came so you can have some relief.

Yeah I have done pretty good at that. I've noticed when I get hungry I start to feel really sick. I eat pretty much every three hours. The sicker I feel the less I eat, but I am doing pretty good at it. Luckily I haven't noticed any food aversions so far. I still try to stick to whatever sounds good.

I'm so sorry. I'm just now starting to get into the sometimes nausea instead of all-day nausea and it's SO MUCH BETTER. Even though I'm still nauseous a lot of the time, I remember how life used to be like when I could eat normal food normally and not always feel terrible. I hope the worst is over for you within a few weeks!

I didn't even see that you were pregnant - congrats! When are you due? 

Thanks! I snuck it into one of the check-ins here 11/15/16, so just now 12 weeks.

I'm 11/14/16. Maybe I'll see you at the hospital or in a moms play group this winter?

That would be fun! I live near ilovebed in Kitsap-land, but go into Seattle periodically and it would be fun to plan a baby-date while my "big" kids are at daycare/preschool.

Definitely not the same hospital then, but yes - once I'm up and moving and not totally dead after the baby, we should do a play date. I will be dying to get out of the house, I'm sure. karebear219 , you should join as well. 

I would love to! My EDD is 12/8, depending on how things report back the next couple weeks. Could be pushed back a little later. I live in Kirkland.

I'm so sorry!! Have you tried sour candies or ginger? Remember to not let yourself get too hungry or dehydrated - little snacks and little sips of water/whatever beverage you can keep down.

You poor thing!

Totally. I have candies, ginger gum, and tea. Lots if small meals. Eating still in the bed in the am is helping but then I take a dive about ten am. Even if I eat a snack it doesn't help. Going to ask the doc about it when I go in next. My meds are helping some but I still feel terrible.

This was me and the zofran barely took the edge off. I felt a lot better at 21 weeks so hopefully it's earlier for you!

Thanks jamer and spunbutterfly. That's really interesting about the magnesium. Epsom salt baths here I come!

So far eating a pb sandwich before I get out of bed is helping until about ten am and then I take a nose dive despite eating a snack.

Hugs karebear219. I hope it's short-lived.
