I think the past month and a half of constantly not feeling well has finally taken it's toll on me. This weekend I didn't even get dressed. I spent all day either in bed or on the couch. Yesterday I was thrilled to have the day off and was hoping to get caught up on lots of chores and make dinner for the week. I did nothing. The only thing I did yesterday besides lay on the couch and eat (b/c I had to) was take a shower. I am constantly exhausted and weak...all I feel like doing is crying and sleeping. Even when I take a shower I have to sit down halfway through b/c I feel so lousy. I'm also tired of nothing ever appealing when it comes time to eat. I wish I could enjoy my food, but all I can do is choke it down and hope it doesn't come back up. I know I am feeling sorry for myself and it isn't helping matters, but right now I am not is a good place emotionally. I cried in my car in the parking lot at work this morning b/c I really wanted to go home and go back to bed. I don't know when I turned into such a crier!!!
I know it will get better, but right now I don't see the light at the end of the tunnel. I guess I am just looking for some support! Thanks in advance for listening to my pity party.
Re: Having a rough few days....
I know how you feel. I hid my first preg until 18 weeks at work, and I was feeling so sick and exhausted!
This time around I have a toddler that keeps me busy all day. It is really tough to have to run aorund and play all day when I feel like passing out.. oh and cleaning the house and making meals!

Thank you for the support...it makes me feel better to know that I am not the only one feeling this way. I feel like I should be ecstatic and glowing, but most of the time I am completely miserable.
As far as good goes, I just ate a double chocolate chip otis spunkmeyer muffin....not healthy I know, but it was good! Not sure what I will eat the rest of the day though.....
I'm sorry you're feeling so badly. But don't worry about throwing yourself a pity party~everyone needs that sometime, especially when there are hormonal issues involved.
I've been feeling more like crying lately too. You are not alone. If you can, get your hands on some prenatal yoga. What helps me when I feel down is to get a little active, IF you are able, and get back to center. You'd be amazed at the powers of just simple breathing Easier said than done...I know, just a suggestion
I really hope your day takes a turn for the better!
I think I've been sick since i got pregnant. I'm tired all the time but I always chalked it up to just finishing graduate school then getting pregnant, but it's great to hear someone else is just miserable. My co-workers all know since I work in an ER I have to be overly careful. Yesterday was my first day on the acute side since finding out and I feel like I had the life sucked out of me today. I'm also having trouble sleeping through the night, I just wake up but I don't want to do anything most of the time including while at work. Don't feel bad, it's ok to be moody it's all the hormones and we're entitled, there's two of us now If we can't whine to each other, since we're all in the same boat, who can we whine to? It's just so nice to have people to talk to about all of this especially since this is my first time around.?
