Hey everyone-
I'm almost seven weeks and every day is worse than the day before. It started with food aversion and became full blown all day sickness (dry heaving, no vomiting) two weeks ago. I have "hot flashes" where I go hot and then cold, hot and then cold. My heart starts to race randomly and I get winded and dizzy if I climb stairs/stand up too fast. The last few nights, I can't sleep yet I'm so "overtired" I cry if I drop a pencil. I have ~5 weeks to go until the end of my first semester and I'm looking for hope/motivation.... Please tell me someone else has felt like this! I feel like a horrible person because I just want this to be over and its supposed to be such an exciting and fantastic time.
Re: Looking for hope
There is hope. It sucks when you are going through it, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. My all day sickness, gas, and headaches started around 6-7 weeks, I am now 12wks and I feel like I am back to my old self. I still get a little nauseous if I let myself get too hungry, but otherwise I feel like I am functional again.
Keep in mind that the reward of holding your little baby will make it worth it.
It is trimester, not semester. Also, I think many of us have felt like this and people have different symptoms as well. I am sorry you are having a hard time right now. Talk to your doctor and see if you can take benedryl or something to help you sleep. Sleep is important for your health as well as your little one's health.
LOL. When I read the OP I thought she was in school and was worried about being sick for finals.
