m/s and baby w/ separation anxiety

I'm having a really hard time dealing.  I'm nauseous 24/7, and my DS has to be practically on top of me most of that time.  He wants to sleep cuddled up next to me, he wants to nurse constantly (which I'm trying to start weaning, for multiple reasons), and if I'm in the room he has no interest in anyone else.  

DH can't cuddle or relax with him, when we see my sister she can't put him to sleep (she was always good at that), it just pisses him off and he wants ONLY me.  Not to mention that he's up and down ALL night.  I know that it's temporary, we just moved into a new house, he's getting teeth, he's getting good at walking and learning/exploring a lot more, and I'm trying to reduce nursing sessions, but I'm getting all touched out and am having a really bad day today.

Thankfully DH is being super awesome and helpful, but I just feel like crap.  Ok, vent over.

    Sorry you're having a hard time!! This was something I've been worried about (not feeling up to taking care of DD) because she is definitely Mom's girl. Last night DH put her down for bed for the first time. She did SO much better than I expected! I think it was harder on me! Glad your DH is being helpful and I hope this passes soon!

    sorry you're having a tough time. my first trimester with this baby was rough, I was so tired and DS was just in a go-go-go phase. i hope you have some luck with someone else being able to put him down for sleeping or to cuddle - you need the break!

    For me, 11-12.5 months was the hardest age with DS. He was needy and clingy and only wanted to be held 24/7. I think it's just something you have to get through, which I know isn't helpful but that's what we had to do.

    For being nauseas all the time, I'm right there with you. I started acupuncture yesterday and I think it's helping. Might be worth a shot? Or call you dr. and get a prescription for Zofran!

    congrats! I hear you. It was rough for us too. You need to get some zofran. I was hesitant about it, but I would take a half of one after nursing and it would get me through about 5-6 hrs and make me not throw up. It helped me, didnt make it go away, but helped a lot. Sleep also helps cut down the nausea. Try to nap if you can. Your LO will get less clingy as time goes on. I promise, this will pass ;)
