HG

in High-Risk Pregnancy

I'm high risk for a list of reasons.  I've been in bed for a week and three days.  Down from hyperemesis along with some horrid cold/flu thing. 

The reality is setting in that like last time I'll probably be motionless most of this pregnancy.  DH isn't working right now and is able to care for DS, but it's killing me. 

How do you ladies, who are high risk, deal with taking care of a toddler?  Is it reasonable that I'm feeling this guilty?  I can't feed DS because his food makes me puke.  He weighs 23.8lbs at 9 months and I'm so weak from throwing up, having a fever, that I'm not able to hold him.  If I rock him I want to puke due to the motion. The best I can do is, high fives.  I'm freaking out ladies.  I feel like a horrible mother.  My bestie is flying int his weekend and will play with DS and get the house in order.  I'm just feeling extremely worthless and I'm only 8 weeks along. 

Last pregnancy I was on moderate bedrest for 23 weeks due to PTL, hypopituitarism leading to HG. 

 Glad you ladies are here with me, I'm glad to not be completely alone.

    It's hard. Honestly, I feel like I missed out on a lot between the HG and the BR. You're going to need help. I could not have done BR without my mom here. But, in the end, it's worth it and like I've been told, your baby is young enough that he won't remember this. You can make it up after. ;)

    Gl!
