Difficult week anyone?

Maple403

This week shit got real for me. I had symptoms before but around 7wk exactly everything upped in intensity. Dry heaves in the am (and not so dry)- thank god for zolfram or all my coworkers would know for sure. I can't stay awake. Also I'm losing control of my emotions. Today I snapped at a coworker who said I'd "been out of the loop for a while". He didn't mean it the way it came out but I was instantly defensive with him about my level of involvement at work. What he really meant was "let me bring you up to speed on a new project". I'm so sensitive, emotionally ! Luckily I smoothed over the awkward snappiness.

Anyone else suffering this week?

Currently sitting in bed about to go into one of my dry heaving spells... I can't deal

I feel you ladies. Luckily I'm not sick. All my symptoms are very mild except I'm soooo tired. Tired and unmotivated to do anything at all which is so unlike me.

Glad I'm not alone. I saw a 37-weeker at the OBGYN yesterday and she asked me how I was feeling. She said her worst symptoms kicked in around 7 wks and lasted 4 weeks. Urgh, 4 weeks of feeling like I'm barely keeping it together would not be fun.

Jaztaz- do you have zolfram? I don't generally like taking medication but it's been a lifesaver. Just one at my worst ms time (early am for me) makes a huge difference

No... I can ask about it. I've been doing well managing the last couple of days, but it catches me off guard sometimes

I am so glad I'm not the only one in this boat. I was so sick at work on Monday I had to leave early. I seriously puked 3 times there; not fun. My sister was sick her entire pregnancy so I'm hoping I'm not like her. My doctor told me to try half a unisom with 25mg of b6 and that would help with my sick feeling and the puking but it only works sometimes. I pray that this hurries up so I can enjoy being pregnant and be a cute pregnant lady

My m/s kicked in at 8 weeks, which is lovely. I'm pretty sure I have a mild form of puppps again (chatting with my SIL and she was so empathetic and then said, "damn! It's like you're allergic to pregnancy!"). And now my H is feeling neglected because I can't even think about sex due to all the nausea. So that's a great topping to my shit sundae.

This has by far been the worst week for me so far. Really moody and dock and tired. I work at a preschool and u feel myself being really snippy with the kids but it's hard to stay patient.

Yeah, this week hasn't been fun for me either.  I had almost no MS with DD and have been queasy and dizzy all week with a headache that has never gone away.  I'm super moody, exhausted, and have a toddler running around, and on top of that it's finals week.  I need these next 6 weeks to go by quickly.

I could've slept all week. Thank goodness my aunt and uncle are keeping DD until next week so I pass out when I want.

I have been more tired and emotional this week...especially if I let my blood sugar get to low.

Nausea/vomiting I can deal with but I've had a terrible headache the past few days. Finally broke down and had a Tylenol and a phenergan to stop the dry heaves. I felt so guilty but my RE's office was reassuring. Hoping sickness subsides for all of you ladies soon!!!

@Maple403‌ thank you for starting this thread. I have been feeling like shit this entire week and I was stressing out that something's wrong with me. I really hope this subsides soon. It's becoming too difficult to deal with these crazy symptoms.

Yep, I've been having nausea and therefore a lack of appetite. Plus I've had an on-and-off migraine since yesterday morning, although that's probably due to the fact that I had 2 bowls of cereal, strawberry milk, and a milk smoothiewith regular milk on Wednesday night, and I'm lactose intolerant. I guess I was feeling brave.

KiaE3620

Right. I'm 6 weeks tmrw and my morning sickness kicked in last Saturday and has been here everyday faithfully. Also I had the worse headache yesterday. I can feel one coming on this Am, and I am no where near ready to put up with people at work today.

I'm 8w5d and I just barfed for the first time this morning, but my nausea had been getting worse since a little before 7wks. Luckily I don't have to take meds, saltines crackers are my cure.

same, literally just puked my breakfast, MS all week and super emotional.  Tired all afternoon chasing a toddler.  my mom told me my belly looks swollen and I snapped.

I'm 6wk-6days today and I have been nauseous all week! Its the worst feeling ever!! Everytime I get nauseous which is almost every 2 hrs, I just eat or drink something - its kept me going so far! OB said try not throw up..it'll make you feel worse!

magsame

I've had horrible gas pains the last week. I'm so bloated I look 5 months pregnant. I'm starting to get the nauseous feelings but not throwing up, which I almost would rather because just the feeling of being nauseous is miserable.

Wishing everyone a puke-free, stress free day today!  I know this first trimester is always hard (physically and emotionally) but it's only temporary!

praptibhatt

Wow I feel like I'm not alone. I haven't had dinner the last 3 days. The nauseous has taken over. Not to mention I don't feel like doing anything. The thought of eating is disgusting right about now. I have stuck to cold fruits and almond milk. Thankful that I haven't puked yet.

nsimek89

I feel the same way! I think the funny thing is when I found out I was pregnant I felt great and I was thinking maybe I'll get lucky and not feel sick... HAHA! I am 6 weeks today and the last three days I have spent three hours in the morning hovered over my toilet and the rest of the day I am just trying to avoid the nausea, which is impossible! I dry heaved for the first time today and I have cried a lot. It's crazy how a baby the size of a sweet pea can make your body hate you

EmJackNik

I'm 8 weeks and 5 days and so sorry to hear about the dry heaves! Sounds terrible! I've been lucky enough to just have the nausea without vomiting (had a few close calls admittedly).Though it is brutal finding something I can stomach, despite feeling ravenous! Hopefully this won't last for the rest of the pregnancy for you

aggiebug

My ticker his 7 wks and by body said "welcome to the 8th week sucker". Still no actual vomiting but dry heaves because I looked at food or even thought of it is tough.

I'm 6w 4d, and I'm exhausted today, like I could lay my head on my desk and go to sleep. Thankfully I haven't been to nauseous... yet... but I haven't had much of an appetite today, but yesterday I was famished the entire day! The fatigue is going to be the death of me.

7w6d today. This week has been ridiculous. Unending nausea, dry heaving all over the place. I just know I have rock hard abs under my marshmallow flab, for how much those muscles hurt. So exhausted, and with a toddler to run after, it's exhaustion x 20. The thought of food is disgusting. So ready for the second tri, where food is awesome!

There should be 6 weeks of pre-natal leave. From week 6 to week 12. Who's with me?
