Being sick all the time makes me feel like a bad wife! :0(

Hey Everyone!

So here's the thing..I am still nauseated through out the day and some days I could sleep all day. I feel sometimes as though someone has literally sucked the life out of me and I have on energy at all. It makes me feel like a horrible wife because it is so much harder for me to get things done. Before the pregnancy I could have the house cleaned in 2 hours and dinner made for hubby when he comes home, but now doing the dishes feels like such a task. Does anyone else feel this way? Or feel like they just have no energy to do anything?? :0(

    Yes. DH is still making dinner almost every night. Or like tonight where I started dinner but got nauseous and faint half way though and needed him to finish everything and put it in the oven. I feel like such a wimp!

    I can relate, only I really couldn't care less about what the house looks like or cooking dinner... What I feel most horrible about is my poor son. I was pretty much incapacitated for 6 weeks and I could barely function. There were days where I put the baby gate at the top of the stairs and just let him play between my room and his but was in bed all day except for making him PBJ's or some other simple thing for lunch and dinner.

    I feel/felt like the worst mother ever!! My husband doesn't get home until 9 every night so he has to fend for himself with food and then gets my son off to bed. This has been sooo horrible. I am just now starting to feel somewhat normal again!

    DH either cooks or does takeout pretty much every night.  I haven't been on a real grocery shopping trip since December and I'm barely keeping up with the laundry.  He also caters to my every need to try to make me feel better.  I feel bad about it, but we both know I'd rather do my chores and not feel terrible all the time.

    I feel like a horrible wife also!  I have just stopped puking everynight this week and still get nauseas.  Unfortunetly DH works nights and therefore has not witnessed most of this and just gets to see what was not done around the house.  I usually don't get sick until 4:30 which also happens to be the time I get off work, so I have been able to make it through the day but want to crawl into be when I get home.  After a few weekends together and me puking in his car I think he finally gets that I really don't feel good and house work will wait... I can't wait until m/s is gone for good!!!

    Yeah. It gets even worse when you have one already and all of your energy goes to it. And then Hubby gets barely any attention and never any dinner!

    Yep, I feel the same way.  If I didn't have to drag myself to work every day, I wouldn't.  I called off Monday and stayed home with my daughter.  It was nice to have that time with her, but I spent most of the day on the couch.  By the time I get home, cook dinner, then I can't eat it because I'm super nauseous, then I usually place myself on the couch and let my husband take over.  This pregnancy is so different and I'm hoping this m/s will pass so I can feel like a good mom and wife again.

    Right there with you. I'm a lazy wife when I get home from work.  I muster up all my energy to spend it at work and then by the time I get home (after taking the el and the bus which is quite tiresome in the dead of Chicago winter) all I want to do is shower, put on pj's and never get off the couch.  DH did all the laundry, vaccuums and makes dinner most nights - he is seriously the greatest! And never complains about it.  I agree the smallest tasks seem like a real PIA. Like folding laundry, I'm half tempted to just throw it all on the floor the minute the dryer beeps.  I feel less nauseated these days but am still waiting for that second tri energy spurt.  All I can say is thank God for my wonderful DH. I am so blessed.

    Yep...feel the exact same way. I can't even majorly kiss my husband without about gagging too! I'm more than ready to start feeling better just to get back to some of the simple things, like kisses!
