DH Vent

I know DH means well, but he is driving me crazy about eating.  I start getting sick about 2 or 3 in the afternoon.  Trying to eat anything after that point is next to impossible.  The Zofran has taken the edge off, but I still feel incredibly sick in the evenings.  I haven't cooked in over a week, and my evening meal choices have gotten interesting. 

Last night I had white cheddar popcorn, a pudding cup, and Chick Fil A lemonade for dinner.  It was all I could stomach.  DH keeps going on and on about my not eating.  I eat breakfast and lunch with no problem, it's just dinner that I'm having trouble with. 

I don't know how to make him understand that this is normal.  I tried telling him what the doctor told me, but he still thinks I'm not eating enough.  I know part of it is I'm just emotional and frustrated, but I wish I could make him understand I'm not starving myself.

    I'm so sorry you are still sick at night :(  I know it's frustrating with your DH, but it's good to know he worries about his wife and baby :)  Getting men to understand anything about your body can be frustrating at times.  I hope you get your evening appetite back soon!

    I'm sorry to hear how sick you are.  I went through the same thing with MH, he means well, but it is very frustrating.  I finally just told him "it's this or nothing".  After he went to an appointment with me and talked to the doctor himself he felt much better about it.  GL and I hope you get to feeling better!

    I'm sorry that you are getting so sick!  At least your DH is cares and wants the best for you and baby...but I can see how that would get on your nerves.  I wish I had some advice, but I don't.  I, too, hope that you get your appetite back soon!

    I went through the same thing with nausea all day from pregnancy and drainage due to a sinus infection that I couldn't take antiobitics for. I also worried that I wasn't eating enough, but my nurse and doctor said it's more important that I stayed hydrated than anything, and I did thanks to Chickfila lemonades, too.  What I really wanted in the evenings were scrambled eggs with cheese and a bowl of cereal.  Cooking was not an option b/c of smells and fatigue.  It's okay.  If he needs to hear it from the doctor himself, then so be it.  If nothing besides you eating more satisfies him, then just try to hang in there.  I hope this nausea is over for you soon!

    Sorry you're feeling bad...it'll pass soon, I promise. Have you considered trying Boost? They are actually really good. Strawberry is my favorite. That'll help w/nutrients and possibly satisfy your DH until your appetite returns.

    I went through the same thing. I was nauseous all day long, but REALLY sick at night. I think I ate peanut butter on saltines every single night of my first trimester. It was all I could keep down.

    It will get better! You aren't starving the baby!

    I've had a lot of luck with smoothies.  This morning I blended frozen banana slices, orange juice and a scoop of vanilla whey protein powder (Walmart has 14 serving boxes for $10).  On days I need something more bland I'll use milk instead of orange juice.  Some days I wouldn't get any nutrition if not for the smoothies!    GL

    My HUSBAND DOES THE SAME THING. I TOLD HIM WHAT THE DOCTOR TOLD ME AND HE BACKED OFF. THE DOC SAID THE BABY FEEDS OFF OF YOUR FAT STORES IN THE BEGINNING  SO THE BABY WILL GET THE GOOD NUTRIENTS FROM THAT. I WAS WORRIED ABOUT NOT EATING BECAUSE I WAS SO SICK AND COULDNT KEEP A PRENATAL VITAMIN DOWN. DOC SAID EAT WHAT YOU CAN BECAUSE I WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH GETTING FAINT. ONLY THING I WANT TO EAT ARE COKIES AND BANANAS. MAYBE HAVE THE DOCTOR TALK TO HIM AT THE NEXT VISIT.
